The ‘Queen of the Palace’ met her match against Chris Dobey in the last of the tournament. Despite leading 1-0 and 2-1 in sets, she eventually fell to a 4-2 defeat.
Nonetheless, she continued to win fans and plaudits, taking out some eye-catching finishes and her stock continued to rise, despite the defeat.
(I’ll tell you what, I’ve actually enjoyed myself so much, “she told (Sky Sports) , reflecting on her campaign. “Chris played so well. Unfortunately, it was my [day], but I can’t take it away from him, he played so well. Good luck in the next round.

Sherrock has brought the sport to a new audience
Her historic run drew global attention, and the reaction took her aback.
“I didn’t think this was ever possible,” she smiled. “Thank you to everyone. This is amazing. Hopefully I can experience it again, because it’s just unbelievable. “
She’s not resting on her laurels, and is planning her next moves:” Hopefully to be back here next year ! But obviously I’ve got the Ladies BDO World Championships next week.
“Then see where I go from then.”
She has already voiced her intentions to enter the PDC’s Q-School in January, and judging by her showings in recent weeks, we could be seeing a lot more from her on the elite circuit.

Fallon Sherrock was in the Sky Sports studio to reflect on her World Darts Championship campaign that no-one will ever forget
For his part, Dobey was gracious in victory, and knew anything less than his A-game would not have been good enough.
“I knew what I had to do from the start,” he reflected.
“I said in interviews, time after time, ‘this girl can play ‘. I needed to be at my best. Honestly, I was not doing anything wrong during the game, and I was 1-0 and 2-1 down. I’m like, ‘how am I getting beat here?’
“She’s been absolutely outstanding. She fully deserves all this support.”
