‘Proud’ Sherrock is awarded a place at Ally Pally

Fallon Sherrock has been awarded a place at the forthcoming Cazoo World Darts Championship.

The 28-year-old, who became the first woman to win matches at the event three years ago, qualifies as champion of the Betfred Women's World Matchplay.

Sherrock defeated Aileen de Graaf at the World Matchplay decider in Blackpool in July, and she said: "That was a wonderful day for me and I'm proud to have won, and it's great that I will now get to go back to Ally Pally.

"The PDC have done amazing things for women's darts in recent years and that's given us players a platform to play at the highest level."

Sherrock joins Lisa Ashton and Beau Greaves, who have earned their spots as the top two players from the PDC

Women's Series Order of Merit.

The PDC also announced increased prize money for the Women's Series in 2023, with a total of £10,000 on offer at each of the 24 events.

The PDC World Darts Championship is at Alexandra Palace in London from December 15 to January 3.
