Fallon Sherrock is determined to make her mark at the World Championship after securing her debut via the Women's Qualifiers.
Sherrock, a former Lakeside Women's Championship finalist, believes that there is an excellent chance for her to showcase the ladies game.

"Getting into this tournament is now the biggest target for us women and I'm really excited that I've got my chance to represent the ladies game," said Sherrock, who hails from Milton Keynes.
"My game is in a really good place - I've had a good year and I played really well in the qualifier, which has helped me come into the tournament with confidence.
"I want to make a statement for ladies darts. We can play well and we can compete at the top level."
