Keyser_Soze Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Quote Fallon Sherrock has made darts history, beating Ted Evetts 3-2 to become the first woman to beat a man at the PDC world championship. The 25-year-old hit six 180s and landed a 91.12 average on her way to her first-round win, sealed with a nerveless double 18 that sent Alexandra Palace into raptures. “I’m speechless, I don’t know what to say,” an emotional Sherrock said on stage afterwards. “I feel really happy because I have proven something for women’s darts, that women can play the men and beat them, so fingers crossed this is a move in the right direction. I’m over the moon, I can’t believe it!” Sherrock is the fifth woman to take part in the men’s PDC world championship, and the fourth since a qualification pathway was created for women last year. That move ensured two places among the 96-strong field each year would go to female players. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/dec/17/fallon-sherrock-makes-history-pdc-world-darts-first-woman-win-ted-evetts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 That she won isn't impressive; it's darts. I mean...the news is that it took them until last year to even allow women to attempt to qualify for the tournament. That's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I always beat my wife when we play. But then when we play doubles on the same side I suck ass and we lose. Makes her mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
