Fallon Sherrock once again defied the odds, as she landed £501,000 in winning a leg against Luke Littler in the Beat Luke Littler event on Netflix in Manchester.
14 players before her tried and failed on the night, with only one having a shot at a double for glory, and in stepped Fallon after winning a viewers vote to take the huge pot on on offer in the North West.
Here is how the night unfolded at Manchester Central:
Leg 1 – Kasey Smith
16-year-old Kasey Smith was the first challenger plucked from the pot, and although she started with a treble 20, that was as good as it got, as Littler took out 70 for a 15-darter and his opening leg of the night
Leg 2 – Tony Cole
‘Top Cat’ Cole, a finance expert who had never played outside his kitchen at home, was left stranded in the 200s as Littler easily took the win.
Leg 3 – Zac Spain
Australian professional Horse Racing jockey Spain began well, but three 140s and a 15-darter got the job done for Littler
Leg 4 – Jayden Walker
Much was expected of 14-year-old Walker, but Littler dismissed the youngster, finishing 338 in six darts, a 158 finish completing a 12-darter for the World Champion.
Leg 5 – Katie Sheldon
Former Women’s World Matchplay quarter finalist Sheldon won the first viewer’s vote, but Littler was comfortable, pinning his trusty double ten to end matters.
Leg 6 – Taylon Forrester
18-year-old binman gave Littler his biggest test to date, with the Warrington man’s scoring letting him down before double ten again won the day.
Leg 7 – Theodore Wallich
France’s ‘Moustache Kid’ couldn’t topple Littler, with double 15 making an appearance for the first time in his latest win.
Leg 8 – Pearse Mackle
Irishman Mackle pushed Littler the furthest to date, becoming the first player to get a shot at a double, with his dart at the bullseye not threatening the target, allowing Littler to find tops to win the leg.
Leg 9 – Mark Pooke
A former player on the PDC circuit 20 years ago, Pooke was the first player to win the bull-up, but that was his biggest achievement as double ten again won the day for Littler.
Leg 10 – Zac Griffiths
Littler dealt with the latest poll-winner in ruthless fashion, a 142 finish putting him over the halfway mark.
Leg 11 – Makinley Cooper-Johnson
A routine win for Littler in this one, a 90 finish completing victory.
Leg 12 – Will Kemp
Kemp was never in it, as Littler wrapped up a business-like win.
Leg 13 – Lauren Bloomfield
Littler was in no mood for an upset against Women’s Series regular Bloomfield, a 13-darter securing yet another win.
Leg 14 – David Wawrzewski
‘Wozzy’ never got going, and although Littler faffed on the doubles, he eventually found double five.
Leg 15 – FALLON SHERROCK WINS THE £501k POT!!
Fallon Sherrock has done it again! A timely 180 left her 43, and with Littler back on 142, ‘The Queen of the Palace’ nailed tops to bring an end to the evening!
