Q4QS Weekly Spotlight

 

Three Players Who Caught My Eye This Week

Another week of grassroots darts, and my three selections this time are Tyler Garrett, Jack Johnson and Ryan Davies.

As always, this isn't simply about finding the three players who won the most tournaments or produced the biggest averages. The Weekly Spotlight is about performances that made me take notice.

This week we've got a junior producing a ton-plus average in a final, another young player hitting one of the biggest averages I've seen in the Q4QS data, and an experienced Welsh circuit regular who followed a final appearance with a tournament victory.

Three very different reasons for catching my eye.

---

Tyler Garrett — Q4QS Rank #1,861

Player Profile

Tyler Garrett may still be a long way down the overall Q4QS rankings, but his record already suggests that number doesn't tell the whole story.

Across 549 recorded matches, Tyler has won 406, giving him a 74.0% win rate from 102 events.

He's already collected 18 tournament victories, alongside 13 runner-up finishes, 16 semi-finals and 20 quarter-finals.

His overall recorded average stands at 70.17, while his best is 107.36. His last-ten average is considerably higher at 78.45, another indication of the level he's capable of producing. Tyler Garrett_profile

There are some impressive names among his best recorded victories too, including Robbie Martin and Stephen Cake, while he's beaten Harley Glycos on several occasions. Tyler Garrett_profile

This Week

Wednesday's Junior Volts at Pilcs Sports & Social Club in Pontypool was the performance that really caught my attention.

Tyler didn't just win it.

He produced some excellent darts along the way.

He averaged 96.97 in a 2–0 victory over Alfie O'Brien before beating Cody Sheppard 2–0.

Then came the knockout stages.

Tyler beat Oliver Williams 3–0 with an 85.08 average, Evan Flowers 3–0 with an 83.50, and reached the final against Joshua Russell.

And that's where he saved his best.

Tyler won the final 3–0 with a 100.20 average. Tyler Garrett_profile

A ton-plus average in a junior final is going to catch my eye every time.

---

Jack Johnson — Q4QS Rank #222

Player Profile

Jack Johnson is already much higher up the Q4QS rankings, and his wider record helps explain why.

He's played 205 recorded matches, winning 162 of them for an excellent 79.0% win rate.

From only 47 recorded events, Jack has already collected nine tournament victories, with another six runner-up finishes.

His overall match average is 82.48, while his Q4QS Average is slightly higher at 83.11. Jack Johnson_profile

There is some serious quality on his list of victories as well. He's beaten Owen Bates with a 95.24 average, Mitchell Lawrie, Jack Drayton with a 97.35, and Lewis Cook. Jack Johnson_profile

But one number from this week jumps off the page.

This Week

125.25.

That's the average Jack produced in a 2–0 victory over Robert Barton at the 6 and 1 Club in Tonbridge on Wednesday. It's also Jack's highest recorded average in the Q4QS database. Jack Johnson_profile

And it wasn't simply one spectacular match followed by an early exit.

Jack went on to win the tournament.

He averaged 99.95 in his 3–1 semi-final victory over Tony Balcombe before beating George Whyte 3–1 in the final with an 87.53 average. Jack Johnson_profile

Two days later he was back at the business end again at Walderslade Club in Chatham.

Jack reached the semi-final there, with his run including two separate 93.94 averages, against Jordan Walkling and George Whyte. Jack Johnson_profile

A tournament victory, another semi-final and a 125.25 average.

Jack was very close to making my three last week. This time he's made the decision rather easy.

---

Ryan Davies — Q4QS Rank #1,063

Player Profile

Ryan Davies is the most experienced of this week's three in terms of matches recorded by Q4QS.

He's played 897 matches, winning 704 of them for a 78.5% win rate across 146 events.

Ryan has won 25 tournaments, reached another 31 finals and made 34 semi-finals.

His overall recorded average is 77.43, with a Q4QS Average of 77.80 and a best of 115.62. Ryan Davies_profile

His record also includes multiple victories over Connor Hopkins, including averages of 89.36 and 100.20, as well as a win over Ashton Brown. Ryan Davies_profile

This Week

Ryan's week was more about sustained performance than one spectacular result.

On Tuesday he reached the final of the Vault at Lindsay Constitutional Club in Cefn Hengoed.

Ryan produced a 96.97 average during the event before eventually finishing runner-up to Connor Hopkins in a close 3–2 final.

Then on Friday he went one better at Wattsville National Club.

Ryan won the Friday Night Fun event, with his run including victories over John Prosser, Gordon Davies, Mason McCann, Callum Jenkins, Lozza Woods, Ieuan Podmore and Xavier Jones before beating Corey Evans 2–1 in the final.

His best recorded average during the event was 85.89, against John Prosser. Ryan Davies_profile

So a final early in the week followed by a tournament victory to finish it.

Ryan has now won nine of his last ten recorded matches. Ryan Davies_profile

Another very solid week from a player who seems to spend plenty of time at the business end of tournaments.

Three Different Stories

That's another week where I think the three selections show what this feature is supposed to be about.

Tyler Garrett produced a 100.20 average when it mattered most — in the final of a Junior Volts tournament.

Jack Johnson had an extraordinary 125.25 performance during a title-winning run, then reached another semi-final two days later.

And Ryan Davies backed up a Vault final with another tournament victory later in the week.

It doesn't always have to be the player who won the most tournaments.

Sometimes it's a performance, sometimes it's consistency, and sometimes one number simply makes you stop and look twice.

These are my three this week.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Kirk Shepherd Hits 115.62 as 48 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 3 October 2026

Saturday brought another 48 tournaments into the Q4QS database, and once again there was far more to the day than simply looking at who won each event.

The headline average came from Kirk Shepherd, who fired a superb 115.62 at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington. David Mayle and Johnny Haines both reached 111.33, while there were 103.66 averages from Richard German, Dave Burrows and Stephen Cake.

There was plenty happening closer to the usual Q4QS area too. Danny Humphries won at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Stephen Cake completed an excellent night with the title in Neath, and Johnny Haines produced another big set of numbers at Wiltshire Darts House.

There was also a substantial Junior Volts programme and, importantly, six WADC Vaults, as well as the Shrewsbury Ladies Open.

Shepherd hits 115.62 – but Welding takes the title

The biggest average I'm picking out from Saturday came at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington.

Kirk Shepherd produced a tremendous 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Maciej Suchy. It wasn't his only big performance either, with Shepherd also recording 100.20, 93.94 and 91.17 during his run.

But he didn't win the tournament.

That honour went to James Welding, who beat Shepherd 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Welding averaged 93.94 earlier in the event, and once again we have a good example of why these reports shouldn't simply be a list of the day's biggest averages. Shepherd produced the headline number; Welding took home the title.

Two 111.33 averages

There were two more huge performances on Saturday.

At Dave's Darts Competition for Breast Cancer Now, David Mayle averaged 111.33 and backed that up with a 101.79.

Richard German also reached 103.66, while eventual winner Phil Johnson-Hale joined the ton-plus group with a 100.20.

Johnson-Hale beat Mark Lynn 6–3 in the final to take the competition.

Meanwhile at Wiltshire Darts House, Johnny Haines produced another exceptional set of numbers.

Haines hit 111.33, followed it with 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35 and collected eight wins.

Yet again, the man producing the huge averages didn't take the title.

Scott Mc beat Haines 4–3 before going on to defeat Chris Rose 5–0 in the final. Scott also recorded a 95.01 against Haines.

That's some serious depth of performance from one tournament.

Stephen Cake combines 103.66 with the Neath title

One of Saturday's best complete tournament performances came in Wales.

At Shooter's SportsBar in Neath, Stephen Cake hit 103.66, as well as 93.94, 91.09 and 85.99.

More importantly, he finished the night with eight victories and beat Craig Blake 3–0 in the final, averaging 93.94.

Bobby Short also reached 93.94 during a six-win night.

Big average, consistency and the tournament win – Cake ticked pretty much every box.

Dave Burrows hits 103.66 – David Evans wins Farnworth

There was another 103.66 at the Royal Sports Lounge in Farnworth, this time from Dave Burrows.

Burrows finished with six wins, but the tournament belonged to David Evans.

Evans reached 98.02 and 91.09 before beating Steve Coote 3–1 in the final, where he averaged 89.56.

Evans finished with seven victories to complete a strong tournament.

Danny Humphries wins at Stratford Social Club

There was another result to add to the growing Q4QS history at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Danny Humphries came through the Darts Mayhem event, beating Dave Moule 2–1 in the final.

Humphries also produced the tournament's best average of 96.97, added a 91.09 and finished with seven wins.

Dave Moule also collected seven victories, while Lee Evans won five matches and recorded averages of 91.09 and 88.41.

Another busy event at a venue that is appearing increasingly regularly in the Q4QS data.

Paul Rowley impresses in Shrewsbury

Paul Rowley put together one of the strongest winning performances of the day at the Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury.

Rowley beat Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final with a 99.00 average, while B-Smith averaged 96.20.

Rowley also recorded 91.29 and 91.09 on his way to eight victories.

That's a particularly strong set of numbers to accompany a tournament win.

Paul Hogan wins at Burghfield

At Burghfield Community Sports Association near Reading, Paul Hogan enjoyed an excellent tournament.

Hogan recorded 93.94, 92.02 and 83.50, finished with eight wins and beat Mark Tomlin 3–0 in the final.

Tomlin had seven victories himself and twice reached 88.41.

Steve Haggerty makes it eight wins

At Wych Elm in Burntwood, Steve Haggerty produced another very complete performance.

Haggerty hit 98.02, 93.94, 88.41 and 86.48 during the event before beating Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris 3–0 in the final.

Eight matches, eight wins and some very solid numbers alongside them.

John Nelson dominates at Southend

John Nelson was another player who combined the biggest averages at his venue with the tournament victory.

At the Len Forge Centre in Southend, Nelson recorded 96.97, 93.94 and 91.09.

He then beat Craig Vickers 3–0 in the final and finished with seven wins.

Vickers also won seven matches on his route to the final.

Junior Volts produce another huge batch of results

Saturday was another busy day for the Junior Volts Series, with tournaments spread across the country.

Charlie Lowin won at Blackheath, Prem Ahluwalia at Bushey, Nathan Ward-Wilkinson at Clacton, Logan Smith at Gamlingay and Rhodri Phillips at Llandysul.

Elsewhere, Callum Kerrigan won in Lincoln, Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris at Lichfield, Harland Newbegin at Grimsby and Finley Rix at Norwich.

There were some good numbers among the juniors too. Nathan Ward-Wilkinson and Cayden Jones both reached 81.24, while Jack Turner and Charlie Lowin hit 79.11.

At the Shrewsbury Youth Under-18 Open, Sam Morris produced an 87.35 and went on to win the competition, beating Callum Robinson 4–1 in the final.

It's another sizeable block of junior results going into the database.

Seven women's tournaments added to Q4QS

There was plenty of women's darts on Saturday as well, with six WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments plus the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open.

At the WADC events, Pat Moody won at Great Float Social Club in Wallasey, while Joanne Oldershaw produced an excellent all-round performance in Newark. Oldershaw averaged 62.63 and then 61.03 in her 3–1 final victory over Kelly Stevens.

Danielle Evans won at The Gamull Pub in Ribbleton, finishing with seven victories and occupying the top four positions among the event's recorded averages.

Michelle Bull won at The Glebe in Stevenage, while Dannie Hughes took the Cinderford title after beating Vicky Fairbrother 3–1. Fairbrother produced the best WADC average of these six events with 66.80.

At the Royal Oak in Rhyl, Jackie Brighton beat Trisha Harley 3–0 in the final and averaged 61.77. She also recorded two 60.12 averages.

Away from the Vaults, Sue Lane won the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open, beating Emma Tapp 3–2 in the final. Tapp produced the competition's highest average of 64.41.

That's seven women's competitions from one Saturday feeding more results into Q4QS.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Kirk Shepherd – 115.62, Warrington
The biggest legitimate average I'm picking out from Saturday, backed up with another 100.20.

2. David Mayle – 111.33, Breast Cancer Now competition
Mayle also hit 101.79, making this far more than a one-match performance.

3. Johnny Haines – 111.33, Wiltshire Darts House
Another huge day from Haines: 111.33, 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35.

4. Stephen Cake – 103.66, Neath
Cake gets the nod because he combined his big average with eight wins and the tournament title.

5. Paul Rowley – 99.00, Shrewsbury
There were higher individual averages elsewhere, but a 99.00 in the final to win the tournament, backed by 91.29 and 91.09, makes this one of my performances of the day.

Another 48 tournaments into Q4QS

Another 48 tournaments are now part of the Q4QS database.

The 115.62 from Kirk Shepherd grabs the headline, but Saturday again showed why there is so much more to these results than one leaderboard of averages.

James Welding beat the player who produced that 115.62. Scott Mc won at Wiltshire despite Johnny Haines throwing 111.33 and 103.66. Stephen Cake combined big numbers with the title in Neath, while Danny Humphries added another Salisbury victory to the records.

Add another sizeable Junior Volts programme and seven women's competitions, and there was plenty to take from Saturday.

And all of it now adds another layer to the rankings, player histories, venue records, head-to-heads and form behind Q4QS.

Two Events Left: 50,000 Simulations Show the Development Tour Card Race Has Blown Wide Open

 

Two Development Tour events have been played since I last ran the numbers.

At that point, with four tournaments remaining, Jack Drayton looked extremely secure, Leon Weber held the edge for the second Tour Card, and James Beeton was the main challenger.

Now we are down to DT23 and DT24, with a maximum of £6,000 still available to any one player.

So I ran the final two events another 50,000 times.

And the race has changed quite a bit.

The latest Order of Merit

After DT22, the leading positions are:

Sebastian Bialecki – £21,900
Jack Drayton – £12,100
Cam Crabtree – £11,900
Leon Weber – £11,350
Jamai van den Herik – £11,000
Jurjen van der Velde – £10,350
Dominik Gruellich – £10,300
James Beeton – £9,950
Archie Self – £9,450
Owen Bates – £9,200

Bialecki has now mathematically secured first place on the overall Development Tour Order of Merit.

Drayton can only reach £18,100 even if he wins both remaining tournaments, so Bialecki cannot be caught.

But, as I explained in the first article, the overall standings are not the same as the Tour Card race.

Several players near the top already hold Tour Cards.

That means we have to look at which eligible players are most likely to finish high enough to collect the two new cards.

The new Tour Card probabilities

After 50,000 simulations of DT23 and DT24:

Player	Current Prize Money	Tour Card Chance
Jack Drayton	£12,100	95.91%
Leon Weber	£11,350	51.96%
Jamai van den Herik	£11,000	19.80%
James Beeton	£9,950	15.42%
Dominik Gruellich	£10,300	10.63%
Archie Self	£9,450	4.15%
Nathan Potter	£8,100	1.29%
Dylan Slevin	£8,300	0.65%
Henry Coates	£6,050	0.07%

The big story is that the second Tour Card is now properly up for grabs.

Drayton is still in control

Jack Drayton remains in by far the strongest position.

Before the weekend started, his Tour Card chance was 98.27%.

That is now 95.91%.

So his position has weakened very slightly, but not by much.

He remains overwhelmingly likely to leave the Development Tour with a card.

He does not need to win one of the final events.

He simply needs to avoid the sort of combination where several of the players immediately behind him make very deep runs.

Weber is now almost a coin flip

This is where the race gets much more interesting.

Leon Weber started the weekend with a 56.78% chance of earning one of the two cards.

After two events, that has moved to 51.96%.

That is basically a coin flip.

Weber is still the favourite for the second available card, but there is now a very realistic chance that somebody moves past him over the final two tournaments.

And there are several players capable of doing it.

Van den Herik is the biggest mover

Jamai van den Herik has been the major winner so far.

Before DT21, his Tour Card probability was only 3.69%.

He is now up to 19.80%.

That is a huge change.

His prize money has risen from £9,250 to £11,000, and with only two events remaining he is now firmly in the conversation.

A deep run in either of the final two events could completely change the picture.

Beeton has slipped back

James Beeton has gone the other way.

He started the weekend with a 29.48% chance of winning a Tour Card.

That is now down to 15.42%.

The important point is that Beeton has not fallen away completely.

He is still very much alive.

But other players have moved around him, particularly Van den Herik and Gruellich, and with only two tournaments left there is less time to respond.

Gruellich is still dangerous

Dominik Gruellich now has a 10.63% Tour Card chance.

That is actually slightly higher than his pre-weekend number of 8.34%.

So while he has not made the same jump as Van den Herik, he remains a genuine threat.

With £3,000 available for winning one tournament, a single big run could take him from outsider to serious contender.

Archie Self has suddenly entered the race

Archie Self is another player who deserves a mention.

He started this final block on £6,450.

He is now up to £9,450.

That has taken his Tour Card chance to 4.15%.

That still makes him an outsider, but he is no longer just a mathematical footnote.

Two events remain.

If he produces another big run, that number could move very quickly.

The second card is wide open

The battle now looks like this:

Leon Weber – 51.96%
Jamai van den Herik – 19.80%
James Beeton – 15.42%
Dominik Gruellich – 10.63%
Archie Self – 4.15%

That is much more open than it looked two events ago.

Weber is still favourite.

But it would not be a surprise now if somebody else took the second card.

The World Championship picture

The World Championship race looks different again.

Using the current qualification picture:

Player	World Championship Chance
Jack Drayton	94.62%
Cam Crabtree	85.86%
Leon Weber	38.94%
Owen Bates	17.25%
Jamai van den Herik	16.33%
Jurjen van der Velde	16.00%
James Beeton	14.89%
Dominik Gruellich	10.29%
Archie Self	3.98%
Nathan Potter	1.14%

These percentages need the same caveat as before.

They are based on the current World Championship qualification picture.

If a player later qualifies for Ally Pally through another route, a Development Tour place can move further down the Order of Merit.

So the World Championship percentages are more fluid than the Tour Card numbers.

That matters particularly for current Tour Card holders, because they can still occupy Development Tour World Championship places even though they are not part of the new Tour Card race.

Crabtree remains a huge factor

Cam Crabtree is the clearest example.

He is not competing for one of the two new Development Tour Tour Cards.

But he still has an 85.86% chance of taking one of the Development Tour World Championship places on the current qualification picture.

That means he can have a major influence on the Worlds race without affecting the new Tour Card race in the same way.

The same applies to players such as Jurjen van der Velde and Owen Bates.

Two events left

There are now only two opportunities remaining.

A tournament winner receives £3,000.

A finalist gets £2,000.

That is enough money to change the table very quickly.

But there is no longer much time to recover from an early exit.

That is why the current positions matter so much more now than they did before DT21.

Drayton is close.

Weber still has the advantage.

Van den Herik has transformed his position.

Beeton is still alive but under more pressure.

Gruellich remains dangerous.

And Self has suddenly given himself a chance.

The final two Development Tour events should be fascinating.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Perry Davenport Hits 111.33 as Hughes, Martin & Trotman Win – 2 October 2026

Friday brought another substantial batch of grassroots darts into Q4QS, with 65 tournaments added to the database.

The biggest number of the day came from Perry Davenport, who fired a superb 111.33, with Steve Willis hitting 105.75 in the same tournament.

There were plenty of other three-figure performances around the country, but closer to the regular Q4QS area there were titles for Pete Hughes at Bengeworth, Robbie Martin in Taunton, Liam Trotman at Portishead and Paul Hill in Yeovil.

Bridgwater Darts Academy also produced two winners, while another busy programme across Wales and two WADC events gave me plenty more to pick through.

Davenport fires 111.33

The biggest average anywhere in Friday's results belonged to Perry Davenport, who produced a superb 111.33 in the Chaukees Friday Grandslam.

Steve Willis averaged 105.75 in the same match, so that was comfortably one of the highest-quality encounters of the day.

Davenport also added a 93.94 during his run and finished with six victories.

The title, though, went elsewhere.

Scott Dilley eventually came through the tournament, beating Danny Halliday Jnr 4–3 in the final and finishing with seven wins.

Once again, the biggest average and the tournament winner give us two different stories from the same event.

Pete Hughes wins at Bengeworth

There were two more ton-plus performances at The Bengeworth in Evesham.

Joe Quiney and Danny Lauby both reached 100.20, while Jason Reeve produced 96.97 and 93.94.

But it was Pete Hughes who took the title.

Hughes beat Reeve 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories, matching Reeve's total for the night.

His own best average was 89.57, but this was another example of the player with the biggest number not necessarily being the one who eventually wins the tournament.

Quiney and Lauby both finished with five victories.

Robbie Martin takes Taunton title

At Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, Robbie Martin put together an excellent tournament.

Brooklyn Anthony produced the highest average of the event at 93.94, but Martin wasn't far behind.

He hit 91.09, followed it with 90.18 and 86.71, and finished the night with seven victories.

Martin then beat Anthony 3–0 in the final to complete a strong all-round performance.

Ryan Greenslade also collected five wins, while Dave Fisher and Warren Bowditch both reached four.

Liam Trotman wins at Portishead

Another familiar Q4QS venue produced another familiar winner.

Liam Trotman took the Friday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts, beating Steve Boundy 3–0 in the final.

Trotman finished with eight wins and also produced the tournament's highest average of 85.89.

Josh Rose wasn't far behind at 85.08, while Trotman also recorded 81.76 during his run.

This was the event with a prize for the player progressing furthest while averaging under 55, adding another dimension alongside the main tournament.

Paul Hill wins in Yeovil

At Bullets Sports Bar in Yeovil, Paul Hill came through to take the Friday Vault.

Hill beat Dave Ware 3–0 in the final and produced the highest average of the tournament himself, reaching 81.24.

Andrew Purchase and Hill both finished with five wins, with Ware and Steven Tavener on four.

Not the biggest numbers of an exceptionally busy Friday, but another regular South West venue and another winner added to the Q4QS records.

Two winners at Bridgwater Darts Academy

There were two competitions at Bridgwater Darts Academy.

The DiDo Finals Night went to Warren Rixon, who beat Lucas Smith 3–1 in the final.

Rixon won all four of his recorded matches and produced the four highest listed averages of the event, headed by 61.82.

There was also a 12-player tournament, where John Hill beat Sharron Hemburrow 3–0 in the final.

Hill again finished with four wins and topped the averages at 50.54.

Plenty of 100-plus darts elsewhere

The 111.33 from Davenport led Friday's numbers, but there was plenty more three-figure scoring buried among the 65 tournaments.

James Lawson hit 103.66 at Flight Night in Burnley and also produced two separate 100.20 averages.

Kevin Leadenham reached 103.66 at Melton Mowbray and went on to win the tournament, while Steve Clews matched that 103.66 at The Pioneer Bar and also converted his scoring into a title.

Craig Vickers hit 102.21 at Clacton, while Steve Green, Tom Grooby, Adam Mould, Matt Clark, Luke Newport, Connor Levett, Craig Sayer and Phill Jones were among those reaching 100.20.

That's a lot of ton-plus darts spread across one Friday programme.

Luke Newport combines 100.20 with the title

One of the strongest Welsh performances came at the Royal Oak in Rhyl.

Luke Newport hit 100.20, added 91.57 and 91.09 and finished with eight victories.

Most importantly, he completed the job by beating Simon A-Dog 3–1 in the final.

Kelson Hughes also produced a 95.94 during a six-win night.

William Thomas dominates at Briton Ferry

There was another particularly convincing performance at Briton Ferry Workingmen's Club.

William Thomas recorded the five highest listed averages of the tournament, headed by 96.97, with further figures of 93.94 and 92.02.

He finished with eight wins and beat Timothy Jones 3–0 in the final.

That's exactly the sort of performance that can get hidden if we only look at the handful of biggest averages across the whole day.

More Welsh winners

There was plenty more happening across Wales.

Huw Rowcliffe won at Min-Y-Ddol in Aberystwyth, where Luke Colwill produced the highest average at 91.09.

Louis Melville enjoyed a particularly consistent night at Oliver's Sports Bar in Swansea. He won the tournament with seven victories and recorded 88.41, 85.89 and two 83.50 averages.

Kevin Mills won at Splott Albion Pavilion in Cardiff, beating Edward Manley in the final. Manley produced the event's highest number at 93.94.

At Towy Sports Bar in Carmarthen, Alex Luck took the title, while Jamie Lewis topped the averages with 93.53.

There were also wins for Liam Hughes at Bigyn Darts Masters and Ryan Davies at Wattsville National Club.

Junior Volts

There were Junior Volts tournaments at Aylesford Village Club and the Simeon Arms in Ryde.

Drake Porter produced an excellent 91.09 at Aylesford and went on to win the tournament, beating Dannylee McFarlane 3–0 in the final.

Porter finished with seven victories, while George Edwards and Freddy Turner both reached 83.50.

On the Isle of Wight, Charlie Wills took the Ryde title, beating Jake Griffiths 3–0 in the final and also finishing with seven wins.

Brendan O'Reilly produced the tournament's best average at 71.57.

WADC: Casley and Hughes take Friday titles

There were two WADC Vaults in Friday's results.

At Briton Ferry Workies, Kirsten Casley won a closely contested event, beating Donna Buckley 3–2 in the final.

Casley had earlier beaten Tia Sterio by the same scoreline and finished with two victories. Buckley produced the highest average of the event at 54.42.

At the United Services Club in Harwich, Shaunna Hughes took the title.

Hughes beat Lisa James 3–2 in the final, finished with five victories and also produced the highest average of the tournament at 57.81.

James had four wins and reached 53.68 during her run.

Only two WADC events this time, but both now add another set of women's results into the Q4QS database.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Perry Davenport – 111.33
The biggest average of the day, with Steve Willis averaging 105.75 against him in the same match.

2. James Lawson – 103.66
Also produced two separate 100.20 averages during an excellent night in Burnley.

3. Kevin Leadenham – 103.66
A big average and, importantly, he went on to win the Melton Mowbray tournament.

4. Steve Clews – 103.66
Another player who combined one of the day's biggest averages with a tournament victory.

5. Luke Newport – 100.20
Not the only player to hit 100.20, but he backed it up with 91.57 and 91.09 before winning in Rhyl.

Another 65 tournaments into Q4QS

Friday's 65 tournaments provided another sizeable addition to the database.

There were some huge numbers at the top, but plenty of the more interesting stories were again found a little deeper.

Pete Hughes won a strong Bengeworth event despite Quiney and Lauby both averaging 100.20. Robbie Martin put together an excellent winning run in Taunton. Liam Trotman took Portishead, Paul Hill won in Yeovil and Warren Rixon and John Hill collected the two Bridgwater titles.

Add in another busy Welsh programme, Junior Volts and two more WADC competitions and there was plenty more than the headline 111.33 to come out of Friday.

And another 65 tournaments are now feeding into the rankings, player records, venue histories, head-to-heads and form behind Q4QS.

Winmau Championship Grand Finals 2026 Preview: 16 Players, £10,000 and a Global Championship Place on the Line

 

The road through the 2026 ADC Winmau Championship reaches its conclusion this weekend as 16 players head to the MODUS Live Lounge in Portsmouth for the Winmau Championship Grand Finals.

After 24 events split between the North and South series, the top eight from each ranking table have made it through to the Grand Finals on October 3rd-4th 2026

There is £10,000 in prize money to play for, with £3,000 going to the champion, but there is also another significant prize attached to the weekend.

The winner earns qualification for the ADC Global Championship. If the champion has already secured a Global Championship place, that qualification opportunity passes to the next eligible player who has not already qualified.

The action will be shown live on Pluto TV from the MODUS Live Lounge. (from 12.30pm BST)

For Q4QS, it also gives me the chance to put the entire 16-player field through the database and see who arrives in Portsmouth with the strongest numbers and recent form.

And this is a seriously strong field.

Ryan Hogarth arrives in outstanding form

There probably isn't a better recent-form story in the field than Ryan Hogarth.

Hogarth is currently No.30 in the Q4QS rankings with an 88.68 Q4QS average, and he comes into the Grand Finals having won his last ten recorded matches.

His most recent tournament ended with a title at the Welsh Open, Masters & Classic, where he went 9–0 and averaged 89.16 across the event.

Among those results was a 6–3 victory over Ross Montgomery with a 95.10 average.

Before that he had also reached successive semi-finals in Winmau Championship North events, averaging 87.35 and 90.27.

He could hardly be arriving in Portsmouth in better form.

Daniel Ayres brings PDC-level numbers

Daniel Ayres is only two places behind Hogarth in the Q4QS rankings at No.32, but actually has the slightly higher Q4QS average at 89.89.

His recent results have included plenty of action against PDC-level opposition.

Ayres averaged 94.92 in beating Cameron Menzies at Players Championship 28 and also recorded wins over Niels Zonneveld and Ritchie Edhouse.

Even in defeat in his latest event, the UK & Ireland Tour Card Holder and Amateur World Championship Qualifier, he averaged 94.11.

Those are serious numbers heading into this weekend.

Steve Lennon is another major threat

Steve Lennon sits at No.45 in the Q4QS rankings and actually has the highest Q4QS average of these opening three at 89.97.

He reached the semi-finals of the recent UK & Ireland qualifier, averaging 90.20 across the event before eventually losing to Carl Wilson.

His recent Challenge Tour performances include tournament averages of 91.52 and 90.93 in reaching consecutive quarter-finals.

That consistency around the 90 mark makes Lennon another player to watch very closely.

Plenty more depth behind them

This isn't simply a tournament dominated by three names.

Lewis Pride is Q4QS ranked No.70 with an 87.68 average and has produced a 97.15 match average recently.

Lewis Cook sits just outside the Q4QS Top 100 at No.102 and comes into Portsmouth with an 8–2 recent record. His last two Vault appearances produced a victory and a final.

Danny Trueman has an 84.47 Q4QS average and recently averaged 89.72 in the UK & Ireland qualifier.

Callum Francis reached a Challenge Tour final recently, going 7–1 and averaging 85.40 across the tournament. His run included victories over Steve Lennon and Daniel Ayres.

Ashley Coleman is another interesting name. His Q4QS average is 86.35 and he averaged 92.88 across his recent run to the last 32 of the UK & Ireland qualifier.

Don't overlook the players further down the Q4QS rankings

One of the things I like about this field is that even the players further down the Q4QS rankings have numbers which suggest they can cause plenty of problems.

Jack Main recently reached a Vault quarter-final averaging 86.50 and produced a 103.66 match average along the way.

Chas Barstow has won a recent Vault and also reached a final and semi-final, while his last five events include a 91.91 tournament average.

Dan Nicholls is 9–1 from his last ten recorded matches. He recently won a round-robin event with an 85.67 average before reaching another semi-final averaging 84.11.

And then there is Roger Crook.

Crook may be Q4QS ranked No.532, but his recent Vault record is remarkable. His last five recorded events include three tournament victories, another unbeaten group-stage run and a final.

Those events have included tournament averages of 81.84, 86.51, 81.07, 84.16 and 85.80.

That is exactly why rankings alone never tell the whole story.

Q4QS Six to Follow

Ryan Hogarth – Q4QS No.30, 10–0 in his last ten and arrives having just won the Welsh Open, Masters & Classic with an 89.16 tournament average.

Daniel Ayres – Q4QS No.32 with an 89.89 average and recent wins against established PDC opposition.

Steve Lennon – Q4QS No.45 with an 89.97 average and comes straight from a semi-final run averaging 90.20.

Callum Francis – Recent Challenge Tour finalist whose run included victories over both Lennon and Ayres.

Ashley Coleman – An 86.35 Q4QS average and averaged 92.88 during his latest tournament run.

Roger Crook – The form outsider from the Q4QS numbers. Three wins and a final among his last five recorded events, with some excellent tournament averages along the way.

North meets South in Portsmouth

This is what the Winmau Championship series has been building towards.

Twelve events in the North and twelve in the South have reduced the field to eight qualifiers from each region, and now those 16 players meet on the MODUS stage.

The prize fund breaks down as £3,000 for the winner, £1,500 for the runner-up, £750 for each semi-finalist, £500 for the quarter-finalists and £250 for reaching the last 16. ADC - Amateur Darts Circuit

There is also that ADC Global Championship opportunity waiting at the end of it.

Looking purely at the Q4QS database, Hogarth, Ayres and Lennon bring some exceptional numbers into the weekend. But the deeper I look through this field, the harder it becomes to find anyone who can safely be discounted.

And with players such as Francis, Coleman, Main, Barstow, Nicholls and Crook all bringing their own strong recent form, this looks a fitting conclusion to the first North and South Winmau Championship campaign.

Country Spotlight: Trinidad & Tobago – The Year They Made World Cup History

My Country Spotlight journey stays in the Caribbean this week, and this time I've reached a country whose darts story changed significantly in 2026.

Trinidad & Tobago.

If you've followed the previous articles in this series, names such as Rashad Sweeting, Jesús Salate and Norman Madhoo have appeared repeatedly.

But another country has quietly developed something particularly interesting.

Trinidad & Tobago doesn't just have one player capable of competing with the best in the region.

It has several.

And in 2026, two of them finally took the twin-island nation onto one of the PDC's biggest international stages.

A Darts History That Goes Back Decades

It would be easy to begin this story with the 2026 PDC World Cup.

That wouldn't really do Trinidad & Tobago justice.

Organised darts in the country goes back much further. Trinidad & Tobago first competed in the Caribbean Darts Championships in 1983 and began collecting regional titles during the 1980s.

In 1988, Ingrid Turpin and Debbie Blanc won the women's doubles, while Turpin and Brian Dookie took the mixed pairs.

Then came a particularly important year in 1994.

On home soil, Trinidad & Tobago became both Caribbean Cup and Caribbean Team champions, while Nannette Brooks won the women's singles.

Brooks successfully defended her Caribbean singles title in 1996 and later became one of the country's most successful international players, adding an Americas Cup women's singles title.

Trinidad & Tobago returned to the top of the Caribbean Team Championship in 2006 and successfully defended the title in 2008, when it also won the overall Caribbean Cup.

Further success followed in 2010, when Trinidad & Tobago again won the Caribbean team title.

So this is certainly not a country that suddenly discovered darts in 2026.

There is genuine history here.

What had been missing was a breakthrough onto the modern PDC World Cup stage.

This year, that finally arrived.

Balfour And Walklin Make History

The names at the centre of the story are Joshua Balfour and James Walklin.

The 2026 regional World Cup qualifier brought together teams from across Latin America and the Caribbean in Panama City.

Balfour and Walklin produced a superb run.

They eventually faced the Bahamas pairing of Rashad Sweeting and Lorenzo Deveaux in the final.

The result was emphatic.

Trinidad & Tobago won 10–1.

That victory secured the country's first appearance at the PDC World Cup of Darts.

After decades of competing successfully around the Caribbean, Trinidad & Tobago was finally heading to Frankfurt.

And They Didn't Just Make Up The Numbers

Their World Cup debut placed Trinidad & Tobago in a group alongside Latvia and Italy.

They didn't progress to the knockout stages.

But they did leave Germany with another piece of history.

Balfour and Walklin defeated Latvia 4–3, giving Trinidad & Tobago its first PDC World Cup match victory.

For a debuting nation, that's quite an achievement.

Qualification had been the breakthrough.

Winning a match once they got there made the story even better.

And when I look at the Q4QS numbers, their appearance doesn't look like a freak result.

Joshua Balfour – Capable Of Beating The Region's Best

Balfour has enjoyed an excellent 2026.

My database contains 29 matches across six events.

He has won 23 of them.

That's a 79.3% win rate, with two finals, two semi-finals and two quarter-finals.

His overall match average is 70.94 and his official Q4QS Average is 70.68.

But the figure that really caught my attention was his best average.

87.82.

And it wasn't recorded in an easy early-round victory.

It came in a 6–5 semi-final victory over Jesús Salate.

We've already seen throughout this series just how strong Salate has become.

Balfour has also beaten Rashad Sweeting 6–3 with an 84.44 average, Norman Madhoo 6–5 and Víctor Guillín 6–2.

Those aren't isolated victories against unknown opposition.

They're wins over some of the strongest players in Latin American and Caribbean darts.

James Walklin – Perhaps Even More Consistent

Then there's James Walklin.

His numbers are similarly impressive.

Walklin has played 24 matches in my 2026 data, winning 18.

That's a 75% win rate.

He has reached three semi-finals and two quarter-finals from six events, with an overall match average of 71.20 and an official Q4QS Average of 71.06.

His best is 80.52.

There's another number I like here too.

His last-ten average stands at 73.36.

That's higher than his overall figure, suggesting that his performances improved across the later part of the sample.

And, like Balfour, he has some very good names among his victories.

Walklin has beaten Norman Madhoo twice in my database, including a 6–2 victory with a 78.94 average.

He's also beaten Sudesh Fitzgerald 6–0.

Put Balfour and Walklin together and it becomes easier to understand how Trinidad & Tobago reached Frankfurt.

But here's where this Country Spotlight gets particularly interesting.

Dean Persad Shows This Is About More Than Two Players

If the story ended with Balfour and Walklin, Trinidad & Tobago would still have enjoyed a fantastic year.

It doesn't.

Dean Persad gives the country a very strong third player.

Persad has played 22 matches across six events in my database.

He's won 16.

That's a 72.7% win rate, and he's reached one final and three quarter-finals.

His official Q4QS Average is 69.90, while his best performance is 84.28.

He's also beaten Balfour himself.

Persad defeated him 6–3 while averaging 72.15, and he also has a notable victory over Guyana's Sudesh Fitzgerald.

That matters.

Because now we're no longer talking about two good players carrying their country.

We're talking about competition for places.

And Then There's Shane Sawyer

Shane Sawyer strengthens that argument even further.

His sample is smaller, so he doesn't yet qualify for an official Q4QS Average.

But the results are difficult to ignore.

Sawyer is 10–4 from 14 matches, giving him a 71.4% win rate.

He's reached a semi-final and has recorded a best average of 85.13.

He's beaten Walklin 6–5.

He's beaten Jamaica's Vasseon Roye.

And in a semi-final against Sweeting, Sawyer averaged 73.74 despite losing 6–4.

So Trinidad & Tobago currently has four players in my data capable of producing meaningful results.

Balfour. Walklin. Persad. Sawyer.

That's probably the biggest thing I've taken from researching this country.

Kimberli Rivas And The Women's Game

There's depth on the women's side too.

Kimberli Rivas has played six events in the Q4QS database, meaning she qualifies for an official Q4QS Average.

She has five victories from 11 matches, an overall average of 50.34, a Q4QS Average of 48.66 and a best of 60.33.

But her contribution to Trinidad & Tobago darts goes beyond those figures.

Rivas has also represented her country successfully in Caribbean competition, including winning the women's doubles alongside Karen Ramcharan-Scott at the 2024 Caribbean Cup.

That gives us another important part of the picture.

This isn't simply a men's PDC story.

A Proper Darts Structure

One thing that separates Trinidad & Tobago from some of the smaller countries I've covered is the evidence of an established darts scene.

There are national competitions and leagues, men's and women's teams and a history of players representing the country in Caribbean and wider international competition.

That's significant.

International success is much easier to sustain when there are players competing underneath the headline names.

And Trinidad & Tobago has already demonstrated that its regional strength isn't new.

Even in 2026, after the World Cup breakthrough, the country continued collecting Caribbean honours.

Why Trinidad & Tobago Matters

Of all the Caribbean countries I've looked at so far, Trinidad & Tobago may have one of the strongest arguments for sustainable progress.

The Bahamas has Rashad Sweeting.

Guyana has the extraordinary longevity of Norman Madhoo and Sudesh Fitzgerald.

Jamaica has history stretching back to Al Hedman.

But Trinidad & Tobago currently has something slightly different.

Depth.

Balfour has won 79.3% of his Q4QS-recorded matches.

Walklin has won 75%.

Persad has won 72.7%.

Sawyer has won 71.4%.

And those players are beating each other as well as established opposition from other countries.

That's exactly what I want to see when looking for a darts nation capable of continuing to improve.

Looking Ahead

The first barrier has now gone.

Trinidad & Tobago has qualified for the PDC World Cup.

It has won a match at the PDC World Cup.

The next challenge is doing it again.

And eventually progressing beyond the group stage.

Balfour and Walklin have already shown that they can perform together.

Persad is pushing them on the CDLC.

Sawyer provides another credible challenger.

And there is a wider men's and women's structure behind them.

Perhaps most importantly, the players now know that the pathway works.

Win the regional qualifier and the World Cup is waiting.

That can only make the competition within Trinidad & Tobago stronger.

Q4QS Darts Nation Rating

Current Strength: 8/10
Participation & Depth: 8/10
International Achievement: 8/10
Future Potential: 8.5/10

Overall Q4QS Nation Rating: 8.0/10

I'm putting Trinidad & Tobago at 8/10.

The World Cup qualification obviously matters, but I'm actually more impressed by what sits underneath it.

Balfour, Walklin and Persad all have six-event Q4QS samples and all three are winning more than 70% of their matches.

Sawyer gives them another player producing competitive numbers.

Rivas and the wider national setup demonstrate that the sport isn't confined to two men.

And there are decades of Caribbean success behind the current generation.

For a country with a population of around 1.5 million, that's a substantial darts footprint.

2026 will always be remembered as the year Trinidad & Tobago finally reached the PDC World Cup.

The more interesting question now is whether it was the beginning rather than the destination.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Asa Cansdale Hits 115.62 as 82 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 1 October 2026

Thursday was one of the biggest days I've had to work through for Q4QS for some time, with 82 tournaments added to the database.

And there was plenty buried among them.

Asa Cansdale produced the biggest average of the day with a superb 115.62, Jason Collins hit 112.73 in Fareham, while a whole group of players went beyond 107.

Closer to the usual Q4QS heartland, Jamie Kay won at St Breward, Robert Radvanszky took the title in Torquay, Robbie Long won another busy night at Hangar61 and Logun Godbeer came through at Clevedon.

There was also another sizeable programme of Welsh darts, Junior Volts action and a number of WADC events.

Asa Cansdale hits 115.62

The biggest average of Thursday came at The Len Forge Centre in Southend, where Asa Cansdale produced a tremendous 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Beau McCullum.

It wasn't simply one big performance followed by an early exit either.

Cansdale went on to win the tournament, beating Michael Van Pinnington 3–0 in the final and finishing the night with eight wins.

When someone produces the highest average of 82 tournaments and then wins the event as well, it is difficult to look much further for the performance of the day.

Jason Collins hits 112.73 in Fareham

There was another huge number at Fareham Social Club, where Jason Collins averaged 112.73 against Bailey Wilkinson.

Collins also recorded 103.66, 99.61, 94.86 and 93.94 during an extremely strong run.

Interestingly, though, he didn't take the title.

That went to Lloyd Walker, who beat Collins 3–0 in the final.

It's another good example of why I don't want these daily reports to become simply a list of the biggest averages. Collins produced some outstanding numbers, but Walker was the man who actually came away with the tournament win.

107s everywhere

There was an unusual cluster of 107.36 averages on Thursday.

Andy Smith hit it twice at Cressex Social Club in High Wycombe — and went on to win the tournament with eight victories.

Steve Dennett reached the same mark at Faringdon, Rob Batty did it at Forest Town Arena, Nath Coley at Samba Darts Academy in Tipton and Scott Hill at St Breward in Cornwall.

Anthony Paul Hitchen wasn't far behind either, producing 106.31 at Hindley.

With 82 tournaments in the database there were always going to be some big numbers, but that's a remarkable amount of 105-plus darts in one day's grassroots results.

Jamie Kay wins a strong St Breward event

There was plenty to pick out at St Breward AFC & Social Club near Bodmin.

Scott Hill produced the biggest numbers with 107.36, while Mason Dower joined the three-figure club with 100.20.

But it was Jamie Kay who won the tournament, beating Chris Gill 3–1 in the final.

Kay also recorded two separate 91.09 averages and finished with eight wins, ahead of Gill on seven and Dower on six.

That was a seriously competitive Thursday night in Cornwall.

Robert Radvanszky takes Torquay

At Cue Sports Academy in Torquay, Robert Radvanszky took the Vault title with a 3–1 final victory over Jamie Chamberlain.

Kevin Elliott produced the best average of the tournament at 83.50, but Radvanszky put together the results that mattered and finished with seven wins.

Chamberlain had five wins on his way to the final, with Richie Blaynee and Derek Bird also among those putting together solid nights.

Robbie Long wins at Hangar61

Another regular Q4QS venue produced a sizeable field, with 87 matches recorded at Hangar61.

The tournament went to Robbie Long, who beat John Hawkins 3–0 in the final and finished level with Jamie McKinnon on seven wins.

The best average belonged to Woody Jewell at 91.09, while Liam Moore, McKinnon and Martyn Freeman all reached 88.41.

With so many matches played, this was another of those events where there was plenty happening well beyond the eventual final.

Logun Godbeer wins at Clevedon

There was another local result worth picking out at Clevedon United Football Club.

Logun Godbeer took the tournament, beating Freddie Harper in the final and finishing with seven wins.

Godbeer also produced the best darts of the competition, reaching 88.41 and 81.24 during the night.

Harper finished with six wins, with Joshua Geal next on four.

Alfie Yarrow wins a strong Dorchester Vault

There were two 100-plus averages at Dorchester Trinity Club.

Robbie Martin hit 100.20, and Danny Aplin matched him with another 100.20.

Neither won the tournament.

Instead, Alfie Yarrow came through the field and beat Martin in the final, having produced 91.91 and 91.09 himself.

Again, the biggest average and the tournament winner were two different stories.

Wales produces plenty again

Thursday is becoming a particularly busy day for the Welsh Vaults.

At Brynmawr Social Club, Liam Cook hit 100.20, but Bryan Flew took the tournament after beating Cook in the final.

At Cefn Social Club in Wrexham, Chris Dobbins reached 103.66, only for Terry Nash to beat him in the final. Nash averaged 100.20 in that final and had also produced 98.02 and 96.97.

Edward Manley won at the County Conservative Club in Cardiff, while Gavin Sterio took the title at The Bird in Maesteg, producing 100.20 during his eight-win run.

Elsewhere in Wales, Sion Thomas won at Llandeilo, Callum Smith at Glynneath, Gareth Ashley at Welshpool, Scott Bannerman at Penygroes and James Marcroft at Connah's Quay, where Jodie Challinor hit another 100.20.

There is increasingly enough Welsh activity on these nights to make it a substantial part of the daily Q4QS picture rather than the occasional result.

Johnny Haines wins again

Another familiar name appeared at the top of the results at Faringdon Football Club.

Steve Dennett produced the tournament's biggest average with 107.36, but Johnny Haines took the title, beating Ash McKeever in the final.

Haines hit 100.20 and 98.51, while McKeever also reached 100.20 and 98.11.

That's a strong set of numbers from the latter stages of one event.

Junior Volts

There were three Junior Volts tournaments among Thursday's results.

At Arrows in Resolven, Jack Powell won the event with a 3–0 victory over Carter Miles. Powell also produced an 88.41, the best average of the tournament.

Jacob Ingram won at Cogan Coronation in Penarth, while James Parr took the Higher Irlam event after beating Maxwell Payne in the final.

The youth events continue to add another useful layer to the database rather than simply being an occasional addition.

WADC: another six women's events into Q4QS

There were six WADC Vault events in Thursday's results, so they certainly deserve their own mention.

Cher Chard won at Bar One in Brynmawr, while Danyela Parish-Bolton took the Higher Irlam event.

Wendy Barden won at the Phoenix event in Eastbourne, Joanne Oldershaw took the title at Sir John Warren in Ilkeston and Anita Scott won at The Old Kings Arms in Newark.

At Upper Dovercourt Social Club in Harwich, Lisa James beat Shaunna Hughes in the final, although Kayleigh Brown produced the best average there at 60.39.

The standout WADC numbers came from Joanne Oldershaw, who reached 66.03 and 63.96 on her way to the Ilkeston title.

For me, it remains important that these tournaments are included in the daily picture. Not every competition needs huge fields or enormous averages to be worthwhile. Every extra regular women's event creates another opportunity to play competitive darts and another set of results to build into the WADC picture.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Asa Cansdale – 115.62, Southend
The highest average of the entire day and he went on to win the tournament.

2. Jason Collins – 112.73, Fareham
Backed it up with 103.66 and several more big averages on his way to the final.

3. Scott Hill – 107.36, St Breward
One of the biggest performances of the day came from Cornwall, and he actually produced the number twice in the results.

4. Andy Smith – 107.36, High Wycombe
Another player to produce 107.36 twice — and this time it came as part of an eight-win tournament victory.

5. Steve Dennett – 107.36, Faringdon
Another huge average in an event that also featured 100-plus darts from Johnny Haines and Ash McKeever.

82 tournaments – and plenty more than the headline numbers

This is exactly why Yesterday's Results is becoming more interesting as the Q4QS database grows.

There were 82 tournaments to look through from Thursday. Some contained 100-plus averages, some produced familiar winners and others featured players and venues that may never appear among the five biggest numbers of the day.

All of them add something.

The results feed into rankings, player histories, venue records, head-to-heads and form — and, over time, give us a much better picture of what is actually happening across grassroots darts.

Thursday was a particularly big one.

And with a 115.62, a 112.73, a stack of 107s, strong South and South West results, another busy Welsh programme, juniors and six WADC tournaments, there was certainly plenty worth finding.
