Rapid Ricky Evans turfed Queen of the Palace Fallon Sherrock off her throne but admitted: “I was so bad I think even my dad was booing me.”
Sherrock's 3-1 defeat at the Cazoo PDC World Championship closes the book, for another year, on the female challenge at Ally Pally following Beau Greaves and Lisa Ashton's defeats at the weekend. But it was a huge missed opportunity for the first lady of the oche.
Evans gasped: “I knew it was going to be tough – but I never expected it to be that tough. She was the better player in that game and I got away with it. People were cheering for her because it's a lady player but they need to respect how good she is at darts, but tonight she missed too many doubles and I took my chance.”
