Friday brought another sizeable batch of grassroots darts into Q4QS, with 47 tournaments added to the database.
There were some enormous averages elsewhere — including two 115.62s — but closer to my main South and South West coverage, there were titles for Paul Jones at Bengeworth, Ryan Greenslade in Taunton and Warren Rixon in Bridgwater.
Paul Jones takes the title at Bengeworth
The Bengeworth continues to provide plenty of useful Q4QS data, and this time it was Paul Jones who came through to take the Friday Vault title.
Jones finished the tournament with six wins, eventually beating Jason Reeve 3–2 in the final.
The biggest average of the night belonged to Danny Lauby, who produced a 93.94, while Reeve reached 84.51 and Jones' best recorded figure was 81.24.
It is another good example of why these reports aren't simply a list of the highest averages. Jones may not have topped that particular table, but he was the player left standing at the end.
Ryan Greenslade wins at Pegasus 68
At Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, Ryan Greenslade came through a close final against Ellie Harwood to take the title 3–2.
Greenslade finished with six wins, while Paul Gardiner and Harwood both recorded five.
Gardiner produced the best average of the event at 75.54, with Harwood reaching 69.46 and Greenslade recording 68.52 among his best figures.
It's another South West venue where the growing amount of data should become increasingly interesting as the season develops.
Warren Rixon wins at Bridgwater Darts Academy
There was another local title at Bridgwater Darts Academy, where Warren Rixon won BDA DiDo Week 7.
Rixon accumulated seven victories, one more than Reuben Avis, and beat Calvin Livesey 2–0 in the final.
Avis produced the event's highest average with 79.11, while Rixon's best was 68.32.
With the BDA events now feeding into Q4QS as well, this is another useful strand of the South West grassroots picture.
Andy Steed among the best at Galaxy Sports Bar
There was no title for Andy Steed this time, but he was again among the stronger performers at Galaxy Sports Bar.
Tony Clark won the event, beating Carl McFarlane 3–0, with both players recording eight wins.
Clark produced a 91.09, McFarlane a 90.92, while Steed reached 88.41 and 87.69 and recorded six victories.
Kirsten Casley takes WADC Vault title
The women's game also features in Friday's roundup, with Kirsten Casley winning the WADC Vault 3.0 at Briton Ferry Workies.
Casley defeated Rhian O'Sullivan 3–1 in the final. O'Sullivan produced the highest recorded average of the event at 81.54, while Casley reached 76.82.
The WADC events are now an important part of the results I am bringing into Q4QS, adding another layer to the growing picture of the women's grassroots game.
Two huge 115.62 averages
Further afield, two performances shared top billing across Friday's Q4QS additions.
Roger Crook hit 115.62 at GWRSA Club in Didcot, followed by a 97.14, 85.89, 83.50 and 82.44. Even more impressively, Crook converted that scoring into the title, finishing with eight wins and beating Michael Cuddon 3–1 in the final.
At Walderslade Club in Chatham, Ross Lowe also produced a 115.62. Lowe added a 96.97 and 93.94 and eventually beat Tony Fleming 3–1 in the final.
Steve Haggerty produces a huge winning run
Another particularly impressive performance came from Steve Haggerty at The Castle & Falcon.
Haggerty didn't just record a 107.36. His listed top five performances were 107.36, 95.94, 93.94, 93.94 and 91.09.
He finished with seven wins and completed the night by beating Cain Allen 3–0 in the final.
That is a seriously consistent set of numbers rather than one isolated big average.
Friday's standout averages
Across the 47 tournaments, the leading individual performances included Roger Crook 115.62, Ross Lowe 115.62, Steve Haggerty 107.36, Andrew Hibbert 104.86, Tony Chapman 103.66, Mike Breckell 103.66, Keenan Thomas 100.20 and Andy Smith 100.20.
For the South West-focused side of Q4QS, though, the main stories belong to the tournament winners: Paul Jones at Bengeworth, Ryan Greenslade at Pegasus 68 and Warren Rixon at Bridgwater Darts Academy, alongside another WADC event entering the database.
Another 47 tournaments are now in the database, adding more results to the player records, venue histories, head-to-heads, rankings and form data behind Q4QS.
