Yesterday's Darts Results – 1 November 2026
Sunday was another busy day for grassroots darts, with 60 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database. There were three regional Vault finals offering MODUS Super Series qualification, an extensive programme of Junior Volts competitions, and plenty of action across Wales, the South West and further afield.
The results also produced some interesting contrasts. Llew Bevan recorded extraordinary averages in an equaliser competition, Bradley van der Velden hit 115.62, and junior Charlie Mossman produced 107.36 at Minehead.
I've kept the equaliser averages separate from standard competition performances, as the formats aren't directly comparable.
Wales Takes Centre Stage in the Vault 19 Finals
Three regional Vault 19 finals took place on Sunday, each carrying the opportunity to qualify for the MODUS Super Series.
Connor Hopkins Wins South Wales Final
At Butters Bar, Connor Hopkins defeated Ryan Davies 6–3 to win the ADC South Wales Vault 19 final.
Hopkins produced two of the best averages in the competition, recording 100.91 against Bryan Flew and 98.86 against Bobby Short.
Davies also performed well, averaging 88.01 against Finley Bennett and 86.23 against Creed Jenkins.
Four victories were enough for Hopkins to take the title, and those two high averages made his performance particularly impressive.
Kelson Hughes Wins North Wales Final
The North Wales final went to Kelson Hughes, who defeated Darren Southall 6–5 in a closely contested final.
Richard Rowlands recorded the competition's highest average of 90.35 against Terry Nash, who averaged 89.96 in the same match.
Hughes also produced an 82.41 average in his victory over Rowlands and finished with four wins.
Connor Levett Takes South East and London Title
At The Empire Club, Connor Levett defeated Jason Collins 6–3 to win the South East and London Vault 19 final.
Levett finished with five victories, while Jarred Cole recorded the competition's highest average of 101.22 against Andy Smith.
Collins produced averages of 91.84 and 89.29 on his way to the final.
Charlie Mossman Hits 107.36 at Minehead
One of the most impressive performances of Sunday came from the Junior Volts competition at The Banckers Draught in Minehead.
Charlie Mossman produced a remarkable 107.36 average against Alfie Rogers before going on to win the tournament.
He defeated Joshua Pravato 3–0 in the final and finished with eight victories.
There were other good performances in the competition, including Harry Milton's 88.41 and Luke Bennett's 83.50.
But Mossman's 107.36 was the standout figure. It's an excellent average at any level, and particularly encouraging to see it coming from a junior competition.
Bradley van der Velden Records 115.62
The Gap Week MiMo competition at Phoenix Darts Club produced the highest individual average outside the equaliser event.
Bradley van der Velden averaged 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Joe Flaherty.
However, it was Justin van der Velden who went on to win the competition, defeating Leo Howard 3–2 in the final.
Justin finished with eight victories and also recorded a 91.22 average against Jelle Hannema.
Dustin Straver and Hannema both produced 96.97 averages, while Lorenzo te Hennepe reached 93.94.
Once again, the highest average and the eventual tournament winner were different players.
Llew Bevan's Remarkable Equaliser Performances
The Money In Money Out Equaliser competition deserves a separate mention because the recorded averages were extraordinary.
Llew Bevan defeated Sion Thomas 6–3 in the final and finished with nine victories.
His recorded averages included:
- 128.83 against Jacob Moores
- 121.15 against Sion Thomas
- 117.49 against Danny Moore
- 112.73 against Sion Thomas
Thomas also recorded 114.98 in the final.
These are remarkable figures, but because this was an equaliser competition, I wouldn't compare them directly with standard 501 results without confirming the precise playing rules.
They remain noteworthy performances within that event.
Aaron Rea Wins Junior Volts at Exeter
At The Kings Pub in Exeter, Aaron Rea won the Junior Volts competition, defeating Joseph Lauridsen 3–2 in the final.
Rea finished with six victories, while Lauridsen recorded five.
Oliver Hutchings produced the highest average of the competition at 83.50 against James Powis.
Riley Cox recorded 74.44, George Miller reached 72.17 and Rea's best recorded average was 71.44.
Another competitive junior tournament, with several players producing encouraging performances.
Kieran Harris Wins at Olivers Sports Bar
The Halloween Money In Money Out competition at Olivers Sports Bar featured 75 recorded matches.
Kieran Harris defeated Ellis Williams 3–0 in the final, finishing with eight victories.
Harris recorded a 100.20 average against Skyla-May Melville, along with 93.94 in the final and 88.41 against Will Fraser.
Williams also impressed with averages of 91.09 against Andrew Smith and 90.18 against Roger James.
Louis Melville and Williams both recorded seven victories, with Roger James finishing on six.
Harris combined a high individual average with the consistency needed to win the tournament.
More Results from Wales and the South West
There was plenty of other action across the region.
At Cardiff Darts, Edward Manley won the Besters Competition at The Royal Exchange, defeating John Cotterell 3–0. Manley recorded seven victories and an 88.41 average in the final.
At Towy Sports Bar in Carmarthen, Cody Hughes defeated Steffan Thomas 3–1 in the Junior Volts final. Thomas recorded the competition's highest average of 85.89.
In Penarth, Jackson Osborne won the Junior Volts competition at Cogan Coronation, defeating Dylan Person 3–0 and averaging 71.57 in the final.

At the Queens Arms Darts Frenzy, Ashley Howe defeated Paul Gardiner 1–0, while Gardiner produced the highest average of 93.94.
Junior Volts: 17 Competitions Added
Sunday was a particularly busy day for junior darts, with 17 Junior Volts competitions included in the database.
Alongside the victories for Mossman, Rea, Hughes, Osborne and Llewellyn, there were plenty of other results worth mentioning.
Zach Langley won at Crawley Green Darts Academy in Luton, defeating Archie Blofeld 3–0 and recording a 91.09 average.
George Buckley won at the Inglemire Club in Hull, beating Harrison Meggitt 3–1 and producing an 86.10 average.
At Soccer Zone in Halesowen, Fraser Waterworth defeated Harry Hayward 3–1, recording eight victories.
Remy Stapleton won the competition moved to Fordham RBL, defeating Dougie Keeble 3–0.
Other winners included Alex Barry at Bishop's Stortford, Jack Waker at Milton Keynes, Charlie Smith at Shepperton, Alex Stoddart at Stokesley, Josh Stonehouse at Selby, Max Banachowicz at Waterlooville, Lucas Gee at Bolton and Jack Taylor at Leeds.
There was also a 90.18 average from Thomas Reed at Selby.
It's encouraging to see so many junior competitions taking place across the country. The headline averages attract attention, but the regular opportunities to play competitive darts are just as important.
Other Tournament Results
A few more results caught my attention.
Callum Goffin won Fusions Super Sunday Darts, defeating Stuart Holden 3–0. He recorded two 98.02 averages, along with 91.09 and 90.18, and finished with eight victories.
Ben Foster won the Halloween Darts Open at Hotshots Sports Bar, defeating Henry Reddin 6–2. The competition featured 125 recorded matches, with Foster winning ten.

Dave Matthews produced a 100.20 average in the U65 Ranking Series at the Railway Darts Association, although Theo Briggs won the event, defeating Paul Calvert 4–2.
These are only some of the competitions added. The wider database contains the rest of Sunday's tournament results and player performances.
WADC Update
I couldn't identify any competitions specifically labelled WADC in Sunday's uploaded results.
There were numerous junior and grassroots competitions, but I won't attribute any of them to WADC without confirmation.
Sunday's Standout Individual Averages
Here are ten of the leading recorded individual match averages, excluding the equaliser competition so that its different format doesn't distort the comparison.
| Player | Average | Competition |
|---|---|---|
| Bradley van der Velden | 115.62 | Gap Week MiMo |
| Charlie Mossman | 107.36 | Junior Volts, Minehead |
| Jarred Cole | 101.22 | South East & London Vault Final |

| Callum Goffin | 98.02 | Fusions Super Sunday |
| Connor Hopkins | 98.86 | South Wales Vault Final |
| Chris Fidler | 96.97 | Cambs & South Lincs Series |
These are individual match averages, not tournament averages. The equaliser competition is excluded from this table.
A Final Thought
Sunday's results demonstrate just how much darts is taking place beyond the professional game.
There were regional finals with genuine qualification opportunities, junior competitions producing averages above 100, and dozens of local tournaments giving players the chance to compete.
For me, that's the value of bringing everything together in the Q4QS Database.
Some players will remember Sunday because they won a title. Others will remember a particularly good average, a close match or simply reaching a final for the first time.
All those performances deserve to be recorded.
