What a great achievement, hopefully it's just the start and we see more women in sports like these that are typically dominated by men.

It makes me wonder why you don't tend to see many women in sports like these where intergender competition is viable.

Darts is one of the few sports where women compete alongside/against men at every level of the game so was only a matter of time before this happened

I play in a league where most teams have at least one female player and I've lost to most of them as well!

I don't have much to do with darts but I am following it a bit more because of her. I'll always support trailblazers that can break the glass ceiling.

She did great, but any man who ever played darts knows there is added pressure when playing a woman.

We are in agreement.

Anyone that gets thrown off by the fact that she's a woman to the point that they can't respect her as an equal competitor deserves to lose. Step up to the plate or get cast aside.

Easy to say at the end of the match, he was not on fire at the beginning



Good job Fallon, her doubles were phenomenal at times

who cares about beginning of a match, the end result matters mostly in darts

you can make horrible starts to a match and still end up winning and that is what Dobey also proved


but yes Fallon can be proud of herself, also some great finishes from her where Dobey also looked quite impressed at


and Fallon got herself a invite to a major darts tournament in my country, to play alongside MVG so she made a name for herself this pdc world cup
