Fallon Sherrock will take part in the 2020 World Series Finals in Austria next month, the Professional Darts Corporation has announced.

The 26-year-old made history last year when she became the first female to win a match at the World Championship.

Her exploits in reaching the third round at Alexandra Palace saw her given a spot at the World Series of Darts events this year, but the coronavirus pandemic reshaped the PDC’s calendar.

However, Sherrock will be present in Salzburg for the 24-member tournament on September 18-20th after she was one of 12 players to be invited to take part.
