THEY are the power couple of darts, and romance blossomed after a date at KFC.
Fallon Sherrock, 30, and Cameron Menzies, 35, began dating in 2021.
A year later they moved in together, and better date nights followed, including dining at one of Salt Bae’s restaurants.
Last year, the Scot revealed his girlfriend has made him a much better darts player.
Time away from his day job as a plumber also helped his cause, with Sherrock cheering him on when she’s not playing herself.
SunSport takes a look inside Sherrock and Menzies’ relationship.
That first date…
Menzies and Sherrock met on the darts circuit, and soon clicked.
They played doubles together and naturally got together.
Menzies revealed: “I had known Fallon for years in darts and played doubles with her years ago.
“We met in an online league in Southampton. The rest is history as they say. It started off with a KFC.”

They inspire one another…
In an interview with Sky Sports, Menzies spoke about how he is inspired by his other half who has opened doors as a woman in male-dominated sport.
He said: “We enjoy our practice together and she is a very class player.
She’s taken me places I would never have experienced because of darts, so I’m a very lucky person. I’m her biggest fan and I wish her all the best
Cameron Menzies
“She has done well for darts in general and is banging in 90 averages and 100 averages, the same as a lot of women.
“I’m quite lucky I’ve got a very good partner who can play darts.
“It’s good in the house unless she beats me and I’ve got to make the food. I don’t like it when she beats me.
“I will support her left, right and centre. I am her biggest fan.
“I might be a bit strict, but I know how good she is. I’ve known her for a very long time and I know she is very, very good.
“She’s taken me places I would never have experienced because of darts, so I’m a very lucky person. I’m her biggest fan and I wish her all the best.”
Amusingly, in an interview with The Scottish Sun Menzies revealed that Sherrock has “bigger balls” than him and is better when the pressure is on.
“If I wasn’t with Fallon I’d still be a decent darts player, but she has definitely made me a better player. Who is the better of the two of us?
“I think I’m a tad better, but she’s better on stage when you’re in the spotlight. She just handles that better… she has bigger balls than me.”
“I’m getting better at it, but when it comes down to the marbles in an important match Fallon performs better. Hopefully one day I can keep up with her level in that area.”
Rangers fan
Menzies also let slip that Sherrock likes to wear his Rangers top around the house.
When the darts star went to meet Prince William to receive her MBE, Menzies threatened to go to Windsor Castle in the football shirt and a kilt.
But, he couldn’t make it. Instead he asked Sherrock to give him a Rangers key ring.
Menzies said: “I was given a Rangers key ring and it’s in the house. I wanted Fallon to give it to Prince William.
“I’m sure he doesn’t care about Rangers, he’s an Aston Villa fan.
“If I had gone to Windsor Castle with Fallon to get the MBE, I would have worn a Rangers top and kilt.
“She wears my old Rangers kits around the house, I think she finds them comfy.
“I have loads of them, that’s what I wear around the house. A few are a bit tight for me these days and she steals them!”

Plumber by day…
Menzies is ranked 41 in the world in PDC Order of Merit.
This year, he reached the quarter-final of a Players Championship event, before losing to Gerwyn Price.
While at the World Grand Prix he was defeated by Dave Chisnall in the last-32.
Humble Menzies juggles his darts career with a day job as a plumber – fixing sinks and the like.
He even took to social media to share a picture fitting a bathroom before an appearance at the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace in 2023.
Along with three laughing emojis, he wrote: “Working before the world’s. What a joy.”
Brilliantly, the post was quickly picked up on by the official PDC darts feed, who added: “Plumbing at 11, Worlds at 8.”
However, Menzies is always looking at the draws at the Worlds, and is hopeful of avoiding a complicated match against his partner.
“There’s a handful of players you don’t want to draw and Fallon is up there,” he said.
“I play Fallon in the house and I beat her eight times out of 10, but she has a moment when she smashes me.”
