Monday night's Vault 17 at Stratford Social Club features one of the strongest fields seen at the venue for several weeks, with multiple recent champions, in-form players and several familiar names from the Salisbury and Shaftesbury circuits.
The headline act is Lee Evans, who arrives on a remarkable 10W-0L run and has won multiple recent events, including titles at Stratford Social Club and Challow British Legion. With a Q4QS rank of 431 and a season average over 85, he'll start as the player everyone wants to avoid.
Geoff James continues to produce outstanding consistency. The Yeovil Labour Club champion has multiple recent titles, carries an 8W-2L form line and has built a reputation for grinding out results in difficult matches.
Danny Humphries is another major contender. A recent Cyprus International Darts Open winner and Shaftesbury champion, he's won two of his last five tournaments and arrives with a superb 9W-1L recent record.
Former winners Gary Eastwood and Liam Glister both bring strong recent form, while youngsters Mason Beaven and Daryl Beaven continue to threaten deeper runs as their experience grows.
