World Darts Championship: Fallon Sherrock in positive spirits as she vows to bounce back

"Any opportunity that is given to me, I'm obviously going to take it. I'm never going to turn it down," insists Sherrock, who now switches her attention to Q School, as she bids to claim a place on the professional circuit

Fallon Sherrock was denied a dream Alexandra Palace return by Steve Beaton at the World Darts Championship on Sunday night, although 'The Queen of the Palace' was in positive spirits as she reflected on her latest big-stage experience.

The Grand Slam quarter-finalist made a blistering start, only to be edged out 3-2 by an impressive Beaton, who was making his 31st consecutive World Championship appearance.

Both players performed magnificently as they shared the opening two sets, but Sherrock was unable to sustain that brilliance, as 'The Bronzed Adonis' utilised his vast experience to progress.

"To be fair I didn't know the average I was hitting. I was just trying to win legs and win sets. Steve played well, I can't complain," Sherrock told the PDC post-match.
