If darts needed a fearless voice for change, Fallon Sherrock has once again stepped up to the oche. The Queen of the Palace isn’t just throwing darts — she’s throwing down the gauntlet. In the heart of Blackpool’s historic Winter Gardens, Sherrock has officially called on the PDC to expand the Women’s World Matchplay — and her message couldn’t be clearer: it’s time to go bigger, bolder, and better.
“I want more women on that stage,” Sherrock declared, fresh off her latest appearance at the Matchplay. “There’s so much talent out there, and we deserve more than just one tournament a year.”
And honestly… she’s got a point.
Currently, the Women’s World Matchplay features only eight players. That’s right — just eight. For a sport exploding with female talent, this seems more like a sideshow than a spotlight. But Sherrock’s call for expansion isn’t just about numbers. It’s about opportunity, visibility, and giving women the same big-stage chances as the men.
Fans inside the iconic Winter Gardens gave her a standing ovation — and the internet? Let’s just say, it’s lit. “Sherrock speaking FACTS!” one fan posted on X. Another wrote: “Women’s darts deserves more, and Fallon is the leader we need.”
Sherrock’s push also comes with a personal edge. As the first woman to beat men at the PDC World Championship, she knows what it means to break barriers. She’s done it before — and she’s doing it again, this time with a microphone instead of a bullseye.
And let’s not forget the location: Blackpool’s Winter Gardens is a temple of darts history. The atmosphere? Electric. The legacy? Massive. The women? Ready to take more of that spotlight.
In fact, whispers are already swirling about the PDC considering changes. Could 16 women battle it out next year? Or maybe even 32 in a full knockout event with televised coverage and full-scale promotion? Sherrock’s rally cry may just be the start of a darts revolution.
So, what’s next?
Fallon Sherrock isn’t done talking — or throwing. She’s pushing boundaries, demanding space, and reminding everyone that women’s darts is more than ready for prime time.
