When Fallon Sherrock set his last arrow, which yielded a double 18, a great cheer erupted at the Alexandria Palace in London. With his profitable arrow, the 25-year-old from Milton Keynes had written history by defeating compatriot Ted Evetts and as the first woman to win a World Cup match in darts.

"I'm completely speechless, I don't know what to say," said a slightly shocked Sherrock from the scene, writes The Guardian.

Sherrockm, who is only the fifth woman to participate in a World Cup, gets to take on 11-ranked Mensur Suljovic from Austria in the second round - and maybe write a new piece of history.
