FALLON SHERROCK has embraced the arrival of Beau Greaves at Alexandra Palace this year for the Paddy Power World Darts Championships.
Sherrock, 31, is poised to make her sixth appearance on the biggest stage this year and narrowly missed the chance to face off against last year's champion.

The 2022 World Women’s Matchplay champion is a true pioneer in the sport, earning the nickname “Queen of the Palace” after her breakout performance at the 2020 World Championships.
She shocked both Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic, becoming the first woman to win a match on that stage against a male opponent.
Now, the 21-year-old is making headlines with her powerful performances on the women’s circuit.
Last month, the Doncaster-born star secured her 13th consecutive Women’s Series title, having won 86 matches in a row.
However, Sherrock is not concerned about Greaves overshadowing her at Ally Pally.
“I’ve never been someone who sought to be the ‘star’ of women’s darts. I prefer to remain under the radar. Let Beau take the spotlight. It takes the pressure off me,” she stated.
The two faced off five times last year, with Sherrock managing to secure only one victory in those encounters.
Sky Sports darts analyst Abigail Davies believes Greaves will “create challenges” for the top players and has predicted she will win titles.
Speaking on the Love The Darts podcast , Davies remarked: “She has perfectly timed everything in her career up to this point.
“I have been one of those who said, ‘Please do this, participate in this tournament,’ because selfishly, I want to see her play as much as possible; she utilizes the board effectively and has a smooth throwing action.
“Once she gets that Tour Card, she is going to create significant challenges in Players Championship events.”

Now, Greaves has obtained her tour card and will indeed participate in the World Darts Championships, which commence on December 15.
Luke Littler will be aiming to defend his title after recently becoming the world number one for the first time at just 18 years old.
