In a sport dominated by tradition and testosterone, Fallon Sherrock has once again shaken the board—only this time, it’s not with a dart, but with her words. In a candid and charged interview following her dominant win at the PDC Women’s Series event, Sherrock issued a direct challenge to her female peers: “It’s time we all step up.”
Sherrock, known as the “Queen of the Palace” after her historic win at the PDC World Championship, didn’t mince words. “I’ve carried this torch long enough. We need more women willing to take the heat, step into the spotlight, and fight for a place in the big leagues,” she declared. It was a statement that instantly lit up social media, sparking both support and controversy.
Supporters praised Sherrock’s call as overdue and necessary. Fans from London to Los Angeles applauded her for demanding more drive, more ambition, and more accountability among female players. “She’s right,” one Facebook user commented. “We need more Fallons out there.” Others, however, saw her comments as dismissive of the struggles faced by less-resourced or newer players trying to break through.
Still, Sherrock is no stranger to trailblazing. From taking on—and beating—top male opponents, to enduring sexist pushback and media scrutiny, she’s never backed down from pressure. Her recent statement only reinforces that legacy. “If I didn’t speak up, who would?” she asked reporters. “This sport needs to grow—and that starts with us.”
As the Women’s Series heads into a pivotal summer stretch, all eyes will be on whether Sherrock’s call inspires a surge of fresh competition—or sparks more division. One thing’s certain: she’s not waiting around.
In the end, Fallon’s message is clear: greatness isn’t given, it’s earned. And for women in darts, the time to rise is now.
