FALLON'S SIGHTS ON LITTLER
Mike Walters

IN THE crimpers derby, Fallon Sherrock will have to cut Ryan Meikle down to size to earn a dream shot at Luke Littler.

Meikle, a Suffolk barber by trade, once gave the Queen of the Palace a pair of clippers in her previous incarnation freelance hairdresser.

Tonight they meet in the first round of the PDC World Championship, with the incentive of a Saturday night prime-time shoot-out 'Luke the against Nuke' awaiting the winner.

And if either of them goes on to topple the boy TARSKY wonder of darts, it will feel as if Littler's fairytale rise has fallen off the edge of a quiff.

Sherrock shot to fame five years ago when she became the first woman to beat male opposition at the tournament, turfing out Ted Evetts and Mensur Suljovic before losing in the third round to Chris Dobey.

She wishes it had not been 28-yearold Meikle, ranked No.62 in the world, standing between her and a potential meeting with Littler.
