In a showdown thatâs sending shockwaves through the womenâs darts scene, Beau Greaves has done it againâthis time twice in one weekendâand the implications are massive for Fallon Sherrock. The 21-yearâold Greaves extended her remarkable unbeaten run by dispatching Sherrock in back-to-back finals at the Womenâs Series Events 21 & 22 in Wigan. Sky Sports+2Dartsnews.com+2
First up, in Event 21, Greaves edged a nail-biting final against Sherrock 5-4. The tension was palpable, the legs tight, and the scoreboard barely moved. Sherrock fought hard, averaging around 95, but Greaves managed to stay cool under pressure and landed the crucial finishing blow.

For Sherrock, this isnât just any loss. Itâs arguably the toughest sort: seeing a rival not only beat you once but then turn up again and do it again. It highlights the shifting balance in the womenâs game and raises questions about whether Sherrockâs reign at the top is under threat. Greaves, riding high on this winning streak (now 72 matches and counting) is making a statement. Sky Sports+1
But letâs talk about what makes this story more than just wins and losses. Greaves isnât simply winningâsheâs dominating. Meeting Sherrock in the final twice and edging those matches by the skin of her teeth shows not only skill but nerve. Under the lights, when everything is on the line, she pulled through. Meanwhile Sherrock may need to reassess. Sheâs still a giant of the game, still loaded with talentâbut the shift is happening.
From Sherrockâs perspective, this weekend must be a potent mix of frustration and motivation. To get to the final twice is an achievement. But to lose both to the same opponent raises the bar. It says: youâre good, youâre competingâbut youâre being out-done right now. What comes next might define her legacy: does she bounce back, evolve, adapt? Or does she slip behind as Greaves ascends?
For fans, the narrative is irresistible: an old guard against the new rising star; experience vs youthful bravado; one championâs weekend of triumph and anotherâs weekend of âwhat now?â The stakes go beyond individual tournamentsâthey speak to era-change in the sport. If Greaves keeps this up, we may look back on this weekend as a turning point.
So yes: the headlines were dramatic. But the deeper story is about evolution, resilience and momentum. Greaves cemented her position; Sherrock faces a challenge. And darting fans around the world are watching, waiting, wondering what the next chapter holds.
