Fallon Sherrock is in serious consideration for a Premier League spot according to PDC chairman Eddie Hearn.

The Queen of the Palace, who is returning to the scene of her history-making exploits against Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic, has now played 15 matches against men in televised events – winning seven and drawing once – while she’s also taken almost half of the 211 legs played and averaged just over 91.

Her performances this season at the Nordic Darts Masters, where she beat Dimitri Van den Bergh before losing narrowly to Michael van Gerwen in the final, and the Grand Slam of Darts further proved she can deliver high quality performances on a consistent basis.

At the Wolverhampton major, she recorded highest ever televised average for a woman of 101.55 in a 5-0 mauling of Mike de Dekker before becoming the first female player to reach the knockout stages thanks to ‘that’ magical 170 checkout against Gabriel Clemens – and she didn’t stop there as she dismantled Suljovic 10-5.

Even in a 16-13 defeat to Peter Wright, she averaged almost 100 and that performance even led Snakebite into endorsing her Premier League appeal.

  “All of a sudden we see the potential for that growth and whenever we talk about the growth of a sport it always comes through an individual, an ambassador, or a role model. If you’re going to get growth at a younger level across females in darts, she’s the kind of person that’s going to inspire that.

  “When she broke through at the Worlds in 2019 you wondered whether it would be a one-off, but she’s proved it’s not. For me, with a commercial hat on, she has to be considered for the Premier League.

  “Fans will want her in, broadcasters will want her in, but there is a real feeling from the PDC board that the Premier League is an event that rewards players for performances and consistency over the period and we’re starting to now see that consistency from Fallon Sherrock.
