The End of an Era: Greaves’ Historic Streak Conquered by Sherrock
In a seismic moment for the Women’s Series, darts sensation Fallon Sherrock has ended Beau Greaves’ astonishing 114-match winning streak – the longest in the history of the circuit. Sherrock delivered a masterclass performance, averaging over 102, to secure a dominant 4-1 victory and remind everyone of her elite capabilities. This win marks a significant shift, even as Greaves’ overall dominance remains undeniable.
Beau Greaves, dubbed “The Doncaster Destroyer,” had extended her incredible run to 114 consecutive victories earlier in the day. This streak wasn’t just impressive; it was historic, standing as the longest winning streak ever seen in the Women’s Series and one of the most dominant periods in professional darts.
However, it was Fallon Sherrock, famously known as “The Queen of the Palace,” who stepped up to deliver a performance of the highest calibre, bringing Greaves’ seemingly unstoppable momentum to a halt. Sherrock, who recently announced her move to Winmau, showcased her exceptional skill, powering into the last 32 with a stunning 102.12 average. This served as a powerful reminder of the elite standard she can consistently produce on the Women’s Series stage.
Match Breakdown: How Sherrock Secured the Victory
The match began with both players operating at an incredibly high level, promising a thrilling encounter.
- Greaves struck first, showcasing her composure with a sharp 14-dart leg, making it seem like her streak would continue effortlessly.
- But Sherrock responded immediately, matching Greaves with a 14-darter of her own, signaling her intent.
- She then seized the lead with a brilliant 13-dart break of throw, taking control of the match.
- Sherrock’s heavy scoring and confident finishing allowed her to dominate the contest, culminating in a convincing 4-1 victory. Remarkably, Greaves maintained a three-figure average throughout the match, highlighting the sheer quality required from Sherrock to secure the win in this short-format game.
Beau Greaves’ Unprecedented Dominance
Beau Greaves’ winning streak has been the defining narrative of the Women’s Series over the past year. Event after event, the young Yorkshire talent lifted the trophy, building an extraordinary run that included 17 consecutive titles before the start of the 2026 season.
Her dominance has completely rewritten the Women’s Series record books. To put it into perspective, the top eight longest winning streaks in the competition now feature Greaves seven times, with her latest 114-match run towering far above all others.
Adding to her growing list of achievements, Greaves also made history last month by becoming the first woman to hit a nine-darter on the PDC ProTour, a testament to her exceptional talent and consistent performance. This winning streak spanned multiple weekends and venues, solidifying her status as the leading figure in the women’s game.
The Significance of Sherrock’s Statement Win
Fallon Sherrock’s victory is a pivotal moment for the Women’s Series season. As the former World Championship history-maker, Sherrock has long been one of darts’ most recognizable names.
While Greaves’ sustained dominance had shifted the balance within the women’s circuit, performances like this from Sherrock demonstrate that she remains capable of producing elite-level darts.
Achieving a 102 average in the Women’s Series is a rare feat. To produce such a performance against the most dominant player in the competition carries even greater significance, proving Sherrock’s ability to perform under immense pressure.
Despite the end of her historic streak, Greaves will undoubtedly continue to compete fiercely, returning for Event Six in Wigan, with Events Seven and Eight scheduled to follow on Sunday. The end of the streak changes the narrative, but Greaves’ position at the summit of the women’s game remains firmly intact.
