Yesterday’s Darts Results South and South West – Thursday 13 August 2026

 

Thursday produced another huge night of grassroots darts, with 49 tournaments added to the Q4QS database, stretching from regular Vault competitions to limited-average events, junior darts and women’s competition.

There were plenty of familiar names among the winners, but also some excellent individual performances – including a 111.33 average from Jamie Kelling and several players breaking the 100 mark.

Freeman takes the honours at Hangar 61

After previewing the Thursday Night Round Robin at Hangar 61 yesterday, Martyn Freeman came through a competitive field to take the title.

Freeman defeated Corey Oates 3–0 in the final, completing an eight-win night. Liam Moore again showed why he is becoming a player to watch at the venue, recording a 93.94, while Joe Preedy also hit 93.94. Freeman's best recorded performance included an 84.59 average against Moore.

It was a good example of what I mentioned in the preview: these regular round-robin competitions can be extremely difficult to call because there are so many players capable of producing a run on the night.

Harper wins in Yeovil

At Yeovil Labour Club, Mike Harper was the winner, defeating Kevin Dalwood 3–0 in the final.

Harper won eight matches during the tournament and also produced the highest recorded average at the event, a 93.94. Dalwood reached the final with six victories, while Ben Collins also recorded six wins.

Another title for Pete Hughes

Pete Hughes continued his recent run by winning the Vault event at The Cue Corner in Worcester.

Hughes defeated Antony Butler 3–0 in the final, with both players recording seven victories during the tournament. The biggest averages at the venue came from Elliot Smith and Jamie Chaplin, who both reached 96.97, while Hughes recorded a 91.09.

Lawrey wins in Plymouth

Down in Plymouth, Scott Lawrey took the Vault title at Legends Lounge, beating Andy Steed 3–0 in the final.

Lawrey recorded seven victories and produced a best recorded average of 91.09, while Steed reached the final after another strong showing of his own, including an 86.71.

Robbie Martin wins at Shooters

There was another strong field at Shooters Bar in Leominster, where Robbie Martin defeated Matt Yarrow 3–2 to take the title.

Martin finished with eight wins, but one of the performances of the entire night came from Alfie Yarrow, who fired in a 103.66 average. Yarrow also produced two separate 91.09 performances during the event.

Ricky King produces 107.36

Ricky King wasn't just a winner at The Kings Arms in Wallisdown – he also produced one of Thursday's biggest numbers.

King defeated Tom Crocker 3–0 in the final and recorded eight wins, but the standout statistic was his 107.36 average against William Young.

That was the second-highest individual average recorded across Thursday's tournaments.

Kelling tops the averages

The biggest recorded average of the day belonged to Jamie Kelling, who hit an excellent 111.33 at The Wolversdene Club in Andover.

The tournament itself went to Paul Hogan, who beat Ben Simpson 3–2 in the final. Hogan also produced a pair of 100.20 averages during his run to the title.

Elsewhere, Archie Self hit 104.86 at Hotshots Sports Bar in Bletchley, while Ryan Walsh, Richie Edwards, Kurt Parry, Daniel Varney and Alfie Yarrow were among those recording 103.66 averages.

Junior darts

There was plenty happening in the junior game too.

At the JDC VOLTS Series 7 at Arrows, Resolven, Callum Smith defeated Jenson Ellaway 3–2 in the final, while Jack Powell produced the event's highest recorded average at 91.09.

At Cogan Coronation in Penarth, Dylan Person won eight matches on his way to the title, beating Archie Lane 3–1 in the final and recording the tournament's highest average of 74.70.

Mary Enos wins WADC Vault

There was also a victory for Mary Enos in the WADC Vault 2.0 at The Social Bull in Blackwood.

Enos defeated Elisha Perry 3–0 in the final and recorded five victories across the event.

Another busy Thursday

With 49 tournaments added, Thursday again demonstrated the scale of darts taking place below the professional game.

From Martyn Freeman winning at Hangar 61 and Mike Harper taking the honours in Yeovil to huge averages from Jamie Kelling, Ricky King and Alfie Yarrow, there was plenty happening across another packed evening.

And that is exactly what I'm trying to capture with Q4QS – not simply who won, but the players producing performances worth noticing throughout grassroots darts.
