Fallon Sherrock was the reason I got into darts in the first place—her presence made the game electric. Hearing she’s taking an extended break is tough, but I genuinely hope she returns when she’s ready. The sport just isn’t the same without her

Let’s be honest: before Fallon Sherrock burst onto the scene, many of us couldn’t tell a bullseye from a breakfast. Darts? That was something our uncles watched in the pub while arguing about who had the better moustache. But then she arrived—the Queen of the Oche, all glitter, swagger, and deadly accuracy—and suddenly, darts was must-see TV.

Fallon didn’t just play the game—she reinvented it. With every walk-on, every stare-down, every “180!” that sent crowds into orbit, she made darts cool. For once, it wasn’t just about beer bellies and tungsten—it was about talent, defiance, and sheer star power.

So when she announced an extended break, it hit harder than one of her triple-20s. Fans—newbies and lifers alike—felt the void instantly. The sparkle’s dimmed. The drama’s faded. And let’s be real: darts without Fallon feels like a board with no bull.

Mental health? Totally valid. Burnout? Understandable. But selfishly? We want her back. Not because she owes us, but because the sport simply isn’t the same without her fire, her finesse, and her fearless flair.

So Fallon, if you’re reading this between spa days and self-care rituals: take all the time you need… but please don’t ghost us for good. The oche misses you. We miss you. And until you’re back, the dartboard just looks a little empty.
