Fallon Sherrock Ends Beau Greaves' Jaw-Dropping 114-Match Winning Streak

Fallon Sherrock Ends Beau Greaves' Jaw-Dropping 114-Match Winning Streak

All Good Things, Even Historically Absurd Ones, Must Come to an End

For nearly a year, Beau Greaves has been doing something bordering on the statistically ridiculous. One hundred and fourteen consecutive wins on the PDC Women's Series. Seventeen straight titles. A run so dominant that the top four longest winning streaks in the competition's history all belong to her. It was less a winning run and more a hostile takeover of an entire sport.

Then Fallon Sherrock turned up and reminded everyone that darts, mercifully, remains unpredictable.

What Actually Happened

Sherrock defeated Greaves 4-1 in the second round of Event 5 at Robin Park Leisure Centre in Wigan on 21 March 2026. No fluke, no scrappy edge. Sherrock averaged 102.12, which is the kind of number that beats most people on most days, and it was more than enough to bring the curtain down on a streak stretching back to April 2025, when Gemma Hayter last managed the feat.

To put the 114-match run in perspective, the next longest streak in PDC Women's Series history is 70. That also belongs to Greaves. The top five reads like this:

  • 114 - Beau Greaves
  • 70 - Beau Greaves
  • 41 - Beau Greaves
  • 29 - Fallon Sherrock
  • 21 - Beau Greaves

Yes, four of the five are hers. Sherrock's 29 is the lone interloper. It is genuinely difficult to overstate how far ahead of the field the Doncaster thrower has been.

Sherrock Played a Blinder, But Couldn't Finish the Job

Credit where it is due: Sherrock did not simply benefit from an off day. A 102 average in a best-of-seven format is seriously sharp darts. She went on to reach the Event 5 final herself, though Lisa Ashton proved too strong at that stage, winning 5-3 to claim the title.

For Sherrock, already known as the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Championship, ending a streak of this magnitude adds another memorable line to an already impressive CV.

Greaves Bounced Back Almost Immediately

Here is the part that tells you everything about Greaves' mentality. Having seen her extraordinary run ended, she simply went out and won Event 6 on the same day. She beat Hayter 5-0 in the final with a 101.55 average, conceding just six legs across the entire tournament and opening the final with a 161 checkout. Not exactly the response of someone rattled.

The three-time WDF World Champion and two-time women's World Matchplay winner also holds a PDC Tour Card for 2026, competing on the men's ProTour as well. She became the first woman to hit a nine-darter on the PDC ProTour back on 25 February, achieving it at Players Championship 6 in Leicester against Mensur Suljovic.

Greaves herself has been refreshingly honest about the difference in levels. As she told ESPN: 'With playing most of my career against the ladies, in the nicest way possible, I can kind of get away with a lot more. I can't really get away with a lot of stuff against the men.'

The Verdict

Losing after 114 wins is not a crisis. It is a return to normality. The real story here is not that the streak ended but that it ever got so absurdly long in the first place. Greaves remains the dominant force in women's darts by a margin that is almost comical, and her immediate bounce-back win suggests the only person likely to build another record-breaking run is the same one who just lost one.

As for Sherrock, a 102 average to topple the seemingly untouchable? That is a performance worth savouring, regardless of what happened in the final afterwards.
