Bristol & Surrounding Areas: Top 30 Most Improved Players (as of 21st June 2026)

 

One of the most interesting statistics available through the Q4QS database is improvement.

While rankings reward long-term performance and consistency, improvement reports help identify the players currently moving forward at the fastest rate.

For this report, we compared each player's most recent 50 recorded legs with the 50 legs immediately before them. To ensure meaningful results, players must have competed in at least six events and recorded a minimum of 100 legs.

The report covers Bristol and the surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius.

Christopher Willcocks Tops The List

Leading the latest report is Christopher Willcocks.

Willcocks has improved from 51.47 to 60.40 across his most recent 50 legs, an increase of 8.93 points and 17.35%.

Already a familiar name across the South West darts scene, his recent performances suggest he is continuing to move in the right direction.

Youth Talent Making Big Strides

Several younger players feature prominently throughout the rankings.

Joshua Rees, George Freeman, Cruz Morse, Jenson Swift, Gavyn Griffiths and Alfie Taylor all appear inside the top 15, highlighting the strength of emerging talent currently developing across the region.

Established Players Still Improving

Improvement isn't limited to newer players.

Gary Hiscock's average has increased from 73.26 to 83.10, while Todd Marfell, Brad Morgan, Robin Hardy and Edward Manley have all posted significant gains despite already competing at a strong standard.

This demonstrates that development never stops, regardless of experience level.

Q4QS Verdict

Improvement reports often reveal stories that traditional rankings miss.

South West Results Round-Up – 21 June 2026

 

Regional finals, youth darts and women's competition all featured prominently across the South West on Sunday, with titles decided in Gloucester, Bristol, Salisbury and Portishead.

Charlie Shears Wins ADC South West Regional Final

The headline event of the day came at Widden Rugby Club, where players competed in the ADC South West Vault 17.0 LEVEL UP CORE Regional Final.

Charlie Shears emerged victorious after edging past Paul Allen 4-3 in a closely fought final.

Both players enjoyed excellent tournaments, recording six wins each, while Jordan Baker and Stuart Melbourne also impressed during the event.

With regional honours on the line, it was a significant victory for Shears and another strong showcase for grassroots darts in the South West.

Tommy Sperring Triumphs At Hangar 61

The latest JDC VOLTS event at Hangar 61 in Patchway produced another encouraging display of junior talent.

Tommy Sperring defeated Charlie Grabham 3-0 in the final to secure the title, while Cody Kibble posted the highest average of the day at 76.42.

The continued growth of youth darts remains one of the most positive stories in the region, with another competitive field producing plenty of quality performances.

Kacey Ayres Wins South West Women's Regional Final

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Kacey Ayres captured the WADC South West Regional Final title.

Ayres defeated Linzi Holton 4-1 in the final and finished the day with six victories.

Women's Series Story Continues

Those results completed qualification for the Women's World Matchplay and provided another reminder of the growing strength and depth in the women's game.

Modus Super Series Week 9 Preview

 

The Modus Super Series returns for Week 9 with an intriguing mix of established professionals, rising stars and in-form qualifiers.

While Boris Krcmar heads the betting, there are several players arriving with strong recent form and genuine ambitions of making a deep run.

Boris Krcmar Starts As Favourite

The bookmakers have made Boris Krcmar the man to beat, and it's not difficult to see why.

The Croatian arrives after winning a PDC European Tour qualifier and has continued to produce strong averages against quality opposition. Recent defeats have come against players such as Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, illustrating the level he has been competing at.

Krcmar's scoring power and experience make him a worthy favourite, but he is unlikely to have things all his own way.

The Young Gun: Jack Drayton

If there is one player capable of taking the tournament by storm, it could be Jack Drayton.

Drayton recently reached a PDC Development Tour final, averaging almost 93 across the event and producing several outstanding performances along the way.

An 8W-2L record from his last ten matches suggests confidence is high, and he looks ready to make another step forward.

The Form Horse: Robbie Martin

Few players arrive in better form than Robbie Martin.

Recent victories in Salisbury and Stalbridge were followed by a run to the England Open final, giving him a remarkable 9W-1L recent record.

Martin may not attract the same attention as some of the bigger names, but momentum counts for a lot in Modus and he certainly has plenty of that.

Can Ashton Brown Continue The Fairytale?

For Q4QS followers, Ashton Brown is the obvious storyline.

The Bristol star arrives on the back of a perfect 10W-0L run in the database, including victory at Dan Cornes' Birthday Bash and recent titles at DartAsylum and Hangar 61.

This is a huge step up in opposition, but Brown has earned his opportunity and will relish the challenge.

Fallon Looks To Bounce Back

Fresh from another Women's Series weekend and qualification for the Women's World Matchplay, Fallon Sherrock joins the field looking to make her mark.

Sherrock reached the semi-finals of Event 15 and remains one of the most recognisable names in the game.

If she finds her best form early in the week, nobody will want to draw her.

Players Flying Under The Radar

Jack Tweddell continues to quietly build an impressive record and has shown he can compete with established PDC players.

Joe Murnan remains dangerous on his day and has posted some excellent averages on the Challenge Tour.

Scott Mitchell's experience can never be discounted, while Conor Heneghan and Sebastian Caris both have enough ability to spring a surprise.

Q4QS Six To Follow

🎯 Boris Krcmar

🎯 Jack Drayton

🎯 Robbie Martin

🎯 Ashton Brown

🎯 Fallon Sherrock

🎯 Jack Tweddell

Q4QS Prediction

Winner: Boris Krcmar

Women's Series Weekend Review: Greaves Dominates, Cairns Breaks Through

 

The final Women's Series weekend before the Women's World Matchplay delivered plenty of drama, with four events taking place and several players strengthening their claims ahead of Blackpool.

Women's Series Event 13

The weekend began with another reminder of Beau Greaves' dominance.

Greaves stormed to the title, defeating Vicky Pruim 5-0 in the final. Pruim's run to the final continued what has been an excellent season for the Dutch star, but Greaves proved too strong on the day.

For Greaves, it was another title added to an already remarkable campaign and further evidence that she remains the player everyone is trying to catch.

Women's Series Event 14

Event 14 produced a different finalist but the same winner.

This time Greaves defeated Karolina Ratajska 5-1 in the final to secure her second title of the weekend.

Ratajska deserves plenty of credit for reaching the final and continued to show signs that she can compete with the very best players on the Women's Series circuit.

However, once again Greaves was simply too strong when it mattered most.

Women's Series Event 15

Lisa Ashton reminded everyone exactly why she remains one of the biggest names in women's darts.

After reaching the final, Ashton produced one of the performances of the weekend to defeat Beau Greaves 5-1 and deny her a clean sweep of titles.

It was a huge statement from the four-time Lakeside champion and showed she remains a genuine contender for any major title.

For Greaves, it was her first final defeat of the weekend, but another deep run added valuable prize money to her tally.

Women's Series Event 16

The final event of the weekend produced the biggest story.

Eleanor Cairns captured her first Women's Series title after defeating Angela Kirkwood 5-4 in a thrilling final.

Both players enjoyed outstanding runs to reach the final, and the match could hardly have been closer.

Cairns' victory was one of the breakthrough moments of the season, while Kirkwood's run to the final showed she is becoming an increasingly dangerous competitor on the Women's Series circuit.

Vicky Pruim also impressed once again, reaching the semi-finals to cap off another excellent weekend.
