Fallon Sherrock books her spot at the Ally Pally

Fallon Sherrock secured her place at the PDC World Darts Championship as she beat Mikuru Suzuki in Leicester.

The final day of Women's Series action saw Sherrock triumph in Event 23 by overcoming Japan's Suzuki 5-2.

The 30-year-old Englishwoman, who in 2019 became the first woman to beat a man at the World Championships when she defeated Ted Evetts before also seeing off Mensur Suljovic, is now set for her fifth appearance at the Alexandra Palace showpiece.

There was also victory in Event 24 for Angela Kirkwood as she beat Anastasia Dobromyslova in a last-leg shoot-out.

World number one Luke Humphries claimed the Czech Darts Open title after getting past Luke Littler and then thrashing Kim Huybrechts in Prague.

Humphries took the £30,000 top prize with a crushing 8-1 victory over Belgian Huybrechts in which he averaged 105.57.

That followed a compelling 7-4 semi-final win against Littler, whose run to that point had included posting averages of 110.43, a new tournament record, when beating Nathan Aspinall 6-1 on Saturday, then 116.51 to break the record in a 6-3 victory over Damon Heta, and 110.57 in a stunning 6-1 triumph against Michael van Gerwen.

When Humphries took on the 17-year-old star - the player he defeated to become world champion in January - in the last four the averages were 108.56 and 106.73 respectively.

Humphries had previously beaten Ritchie Edhouse on Saturday, and then Gian van Veen and Mike De Decker, to whom he had lost in last week's World Grand Prix final.
