Fallon Sherrock on Beau Greaves: “She’s the Most Consistent – That’s What Sets Her Apart”
Fallon Sherrock, the trailblazing “Queen of the Palace” and pioneer for women’s darts, has singled out Beau Greaves as the standout talent in the sport, emphasizing her unparalleled consistency as the key differentiator from other female players. In a revealing interview on the *Club 501* podcast with Wayne Mardle on October 8, 2025, Sherrock, who made history by becoming the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2019, reflected on Greaves’ meteoric rise, stating: “Not as consistent, no. There are youth players and stuff that you see coming through the system who had talent… But they never had the consistency and never stuck to it. Whereas Beau’s always been that good, and now she’s had the consistency doing it on a regular basis – you can see why she’s number one.” This glowing assessment, amid Greaves’ 58-match winning streak in the PDC Women’s Series, underscores Sherrock’s admiration for the 21-year-old Doncaster prodigy, who recently stunned reigning PDC World Champion Luke Littler 6-5 at the World Youth Championship qualifier on October 13.
Sherrock’s Praise: Consistency as the Game-Changer
Sherrock, a 30-year-old Buckinghamshire native with 19 Women’s Series titles and the 2022 Women’s World Matchplay crown, has witnessed Greaves’ ascent firsthand, including defeats to the younger star in the 2023 and 2024 Women’s Matchplay finals. When Mardle probed if she’d ever seen a female player with Greaves’ raw talent across youth and senior levels, Sherrock’s answer was unequivocal: consistency. “I’ve seen talent, but Beau’s different – she’s always been that good, and now she’s putting it together week in, week out,” Sherrock explained. Greaves, nicknamed “Beau ‘n’ Arrow,” has dominated the women’s ranks since age 16, winning nine Women’s Series events in 2025 alone and finishing second on the Development Tour Order of Merit to earn a full PDC Tour Card for 2026-27.
Sherrock, who knows the pressures of breaking barriers – including reaching the PDC World Championship’s third round in 2019 – highlighted Greaves’ mental fortitude: “She’s not scared of anyone. She loves the game, knows her ability, and backs it up every time.” This consistency has elevated Greaves to women’s world No. 1 and sparked a 20% rise in female junior participation, per PDC figures. Sherrock, a mentor figure, added: “It’s so good for women’s darts – Beau’s pushing everyone to step up. Look at the averages in her matches; opponents are hitting 90s just to compete.”
Greaves’ Rise: From Youth Prodigy to PDC Trailblazer
Greaves’ journey mirrors Sherrock’s in ambition but surpasses it in dominance. At 16, she became the BDO women’s No. 1 and claimed three straight WDF Women’s World Championships (2022-24), then transitioned to PDC with nine Women’s Series wins in 2025 and a runner-up finish in the Women’s World Matchplay (lost to Sherrock in 2022). Her Littler upset – the first woman to beat a reigning PDC world champion – averaged 105 to his 107.4, with an 80 checkout (T20, D10) in the decider. “Luke’s a legend – massive respect,” Greaves said, advancing to the Youth Championship final vs. Gian van Veen on November 23.
Sherrock, a Sherrock, who won the 2022 Women’s Matchplay over Greaves, celebrated the shift: “To have someone like Beau coming through – she’s doing it on the ladies’ tour, development tour, challenge tour. Imagine if she won the UK Open; how good for women’s game?” Greaves’ Tour Card acceptance, despite WDF ban risks for the Women’s Worlds, makes her the first woman with full PDC access, opening Ally Pally doors.
The Bigger Picture: Sherrock’s Mentorship and Women’s Darts Boom
Sherrock, 30, feels “less pressure” to carry women’s darts alone: “Beau’s the main one to beat – opponents step up, hitting 90 averages against her.” Their rivalry – Sherrock’s 2022 Matchplay win over Greaves, Greaves’ 2023/24 revenge – is “fierce but friendly,” Sherrock told ITV in March 2025. “She’s got the ability to play like these men,” Sherrock said, backing Greaves for PDC World Championship over WDF limits.
The surge – 20% female juniors – credits Sherrock’s 2019 breakthrough and Greaves’ dominance. “Beau’s consistency is why she’s No. 1 – talent + stick-to-it-ness,” Sherrock reiterated. As Greaves eyes van Veen in Minehead, Sherrock’s words aren’t rivalry – they’re revolution: Women’s darts’ ceiling? Shattered.
