After Fallon Sherrock did not earn a PDC Tour Card for 2026 at Q-Faculty, Sky Sports activities Darts’ Laura Turner appears to be like at what’s subsequent for the Ally Pally history-maker…
I’ve mentioned it for years with Q-Faculty, it’s totally a lot a little bit of a lottery.
It is not a ranked occasion. Anybody can draw anybody, so it’s totally a lot luck of the draw. That is at all times a giant factor for the gamers. So in addition to Fallon Sherrock, there’s different massive names that missed out this yr. The likes of Andreas Harrysson, who had run on the World Championship, Steve Beaton attempting to get his tour card again.
It’s a very robust occasion to get by way of. Sadly Fallon bumped into some actually robust competitors. Her first match, shedding 6-4 to Steve Lennon – he is solely simply come off the tour himself – and subsequently these different few days simply did not go her manner.
However now she’s performed that, she’s acquired the chance if she needs to do it to take up the Problem Tour once more after which simply begin rebuilding.
It is a troublesome one on the subject of Q-Faculty. It is robust. Sadly it did not go her manner this time round, however I am assured she’ll bounce again.
She’s already again on the oche, she’s enjoying down in Portsmouth this week at a ladies’s week on the Modus Tremendous Collection, so the actual fact she’s not lingering over the outcomes and is bouncing again so rapidly is a extremely optimistic factor.
Sherrock misplaced 4 first spherical Q-Faculty clashes over the weekend to overlook out on a 2026 Tour Card
‘Sherrock has been open about her well being points – in 2026 she will be able to rebuild’
With Fallon, she’s spoken fairly brazenly a number of instances that she has had points with well being [kidney disease] which have then restricted her alternatives to play in as many occasions as she’d like, and likewise to in all probability dedicate as a lot time and apply, as a result of very often she’s not 100 per cent, she will likely be drained.
Occasions on the PDC facet of issues, the Girls’s Collection, Problem Tour, they’re fairly exhausting. They’re lengthy days when you find yourself there and it is lengthy consecutive days.
I believe she’s very a lot conscious of that. She’s had optimistic information as regards to her well being this yr and I believe in 2026, she’s seeking to hit the apply board a bit extra and begin rebuilding.
There’s a lot that gamers cope with away from the oche which followers do not realise, and a few are fairly pleased to brazenly speak about it.
Sherrock has been open concerning the well being points she has struggled with, as she manages kidney illness
Fallon has, in her personal time, spoken concerning the struggles she’s had away from the oche. After which it is certain to have that knock-on impact, that influence on the best way you carry out.
The actual fact you do not even have as a lot match apply, you have not been enjoying as many tournaments, so that you’re simply not match-sharp, you are not fairly match-ready.
It is these key alternatives that once you’ve performed quite a bit and also you’re successful and also you’re optimistic and assured, you possibly can take them. However when you have not performed as many video games, it is these key moments that generally your timing’s all off, it is only a bit too far to get throughout the road.
I believe that is in all probability the place Fallon is in the mean time. She’s simply seeking to deal with these issues now that she’s had some extra optimistic information about her well being.
The 31-year-old has routinely struggled for type over the previous couple of seasons
‘Greaves taking the concentration is going to assist Fallon – she’s been flying the flag for years’
Fallon will likely be a participant that claims she likes to go below the radar, however clearly her 2019 exploits on the World Championship and backing it up with the run to the quarter-finals on the Grand Slam as nicely, she was at all times within the highlight.
She’s going to at all times have a weight of expectation when she turns up, particularly when she goes again to Alexandra Palace, however I believe now what’s beginning to occur is you have acquired the likes of Beau Greaves, who’s going to be on the PDC Tour in 2026.
Individuals are speaking about Greaves a little bit bit extra, and I believe Fallon’s fairly pleased with that as a result of then the highlight’s not all on her.
It was plenty of years that she’s been flying the flag for girls’s darts, and she or he’s carried out a unbelievable job at that. She’s at all times been Fallon the trailblazer.
