Yesterday's Darts Results: Quiney Hits 111 Average as Boundy, Lauby and Steed Win – 23 September 2026

Yesterday's Results – Wednesday 23 September 2026

Another 70 tournaments have gone into the Q4QS database from Wednesday, and this was a particularly good night for the South and South West.

There were titles for Steve Boundy, Alec McCready, Danny Lauby, Andy Steed, Jamie Kay and Jack Walker among the featured results, but perhaps the number that jumps off the page most is 111.33.

That belonged to Joe Quiney at Bengeworth.

Quiney hits 111.33 – Lauby takes the title

Bengeworth in Evesham produced one of the performances of the night.

Joe Quiney averaged 111.33 in a 2–0 win over Shaun Vernall. Vernall himself had already produced a 96.97, so there was some serious quality on show.

Quiney's tournament eventually ended against Danny Lauby, who beat him 3–1 with an 89.44 average before going on to defeat Shaun Vernall 3–2 in the final.

Lauby finished with eight wins, while Quiney and Vernall both recorded six.

So the title went to Lauby, but the standout number belonged to Quiney.

Boundy wins a strong night at the Sartan

The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth continues to produce interesting results.

This time Steve Boundy took the title, beating Ryan Palmer 3–1 in the final.

Boundy also broke the 100 barrier with a 100.20 average, followed by a 99.55 later in the competition.

Ryan Palmer wasn't far behind, recording 97.57, while Zach Quinn hit 94.91 and Mervyn Adams 93.94.

Palmer actually collected the most wins during the night with seven, ahead of Quinn and Boundy on six apiece.

That's a pretty strong set of numbers for one local Wednesday night tournament.

Steed wins in Barnstaple

Andy Steed followed Tuesday's 96.14 in Tiverton with another good performance, this time turning it into a tournament victory.

Steed won the Vault 19 event at Barnstaple Town FC, beating Neil Ridd 3–0 in the final.

He averaged 92.02 in the final and also recorded a 91.09 earlier in the tournament.

Steed finished with eight wins, with Ricky Preedy next on six.

Two different Devon venues in two nights and Steed has now produced 96.14, 92.02 and 91.09 performances across them.

McCready breaks 100 in Leominster

Alec McCready was the winner at Shooters Bar in Leominster, beating Chris Hurds 3–1 in the final.

McCready produced an excellent 100.20 average during the tournament and followed it with 93.71 in the final and 91.66 against Zak Turner.

That's three 90-plus performances from the eventual champion.

McCready finished the evening with seven wins, while Chris Hurds and Ryan Griffiths recorded five each.

Jamie Kay takes Bodmin title

Jamie Kay won at Bodmin Band & Social Club after beating Logan Symons Jnr 3–2 in the final.

Kay averaged 91.93 in the final, having already recorded a 90.18 earlier in the competition.

James Chudleigh also reached 90.00, while Symons Jnr produced an 83.50.

Kay finished with seven wins, one ahead of Symons Jnr.

Walker wins at Stonehouse despite huge Lewis average

There was an interesting final at Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse.

Josh Lewis averaged 98.40, but it wasn't enough to beat Jack Walker.

Walker averaged 90.41 in a 3–1 victory over Lewis and eventually went on to beat Will Jackson 3–1 in the final.

Walker produced four of the venue's five highest listed averages himself – 90.41, 85.08, 83.50 and 81.24 – and finished with six wins.

Plenty happening elsewhere in the South West

There were several other results worth mentioning.

Steven Rees won at Break N Dish in Street, where Dan Williams twice averaged 96.97. Darren Herbert won at The Choughs in Chard, beating Leighton Cox, while Andrew Cook produced a 95.94 on his way to winning at The Pitch Sports Bar in St Austell.

The junior game was represented in Exeter too, where Joseph Lauridsen won the Junior Volts event at The Kings Pub and produced the tournament's highest average of 81.24.

Five South West performances that caught my eye

  1. Joe Quiney – 111.33
    Bengeworth Club, Evesham
  2. Alec McCready – 100.20
    Shooters Bar, Leominster
  3. Steve Boundy – 100.20
    Sartan Club, Bishopsworth
  4. Josh Lewis – 98.40
    Magpies Social Club, Stonehouse
  5. Ryan Palmer – 97.57
    Sartan Club, Bishopsworth

And once again, it shows why I like looking beyond simply who won the tournaments.

Quiney and Lewis didn't win their respective events, but produced two of the most eye-catching performances in the region.

The national numbers were even bigger

Across the complete set of results, Jack Johnson and Dean Rogers both recorded 115.62 averages.

Aaron Reed, Joe Quiney and Ricky King all hit 111.33, while there were several more averages above 107.

Ricky King's performance at Christchurch was particularly notable because it wasn't a one-off match: his listed averages included 111.33, 107.36, 98.02 and 93.94, and he went on to win the tournament with eight victories.

Another 70 tournaments added to Q4QS

That's another 70 tournaments feeding into the Q4QS database.

Individually, they give us Wednesday night's winners and standout performances.

Collectively, they're building something much more useful: player records, venue histories, averages, form, rankings and head-to-head data.

And when someone like Andy Steed produces big numbers on consecutive nights at different venues, or a venue such as the Sartan repeatedly produces strong fields, that growing history starts to become particularly interesting.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Haines Hits 115.62 as Roberts, Perkins and McCready Take Wednesday Titles (2nd Septemer 2026)

Wednesday produced another packed night of grassroots darts, with 33 tournaments from 2 September added to the Q4QS database.

There was plenty happening across the South and South West, with James Roberts winning at Purton, Steve Perkins taking the Devizes Under-70, Alec McCready winning again at Leominster and Johnny Haines producing the biggest average of the entire day with a sensational 115.62.

Further afield, Bryan Flew was outstanding at Dowlais, Terry Nash came through the Vault 19 warm-up and several more players broke the 100-average barrier.

Haines lights up GWRSA with 115.62

The individual performance of the day came from Johnny Haines in the Inbetween Vault Break 3 at GWRSA Club.

Haines didn't simply win the event — he produced an extraordinary 115.62 average during his run, comfortably the highest number recorded across Wednesday's Q4QS results.

He also added averages of 92.02, 90.18 and 85.89, eventually finishing the tournament with eight victories and defeating Igor Kuroczycki in the final.

That's one of the biggest single-match averages to appear in these daily roundups for some time.

Roberts combines 100.20 with Purton title

There was another ton-plus performance from James Roberts in the Purton Red House Under-70 Round Robin.

Roberts produced a 100.20 average, followed by further performances of 88.41 and 85.89, and finished with eight wins.

Most importantly, he also completed the tournament victory, beating Wayne Franklin 4–0 in the final.

For an average-restricted event, breaking through the 100 mark is particularly eye-catching.

Perkins takes Devizes Under-70

At the Devizes Town Round Robin U70 Average, Steve Perkins emerged with the title.

Perkins and Mike Barton both accumulated eight victories before meeting in the final, with Perkins coming through 4–3.

He also produced the highest recorded average of the tournament at 85.25, just ahead of Andy Evans at 85.00.

Another competitive restricted-average event, and another example of the depth these tournaments are producing.

McCready wins again at Leominster

Alec McCready continued his recent winning form at Leominster & District Darts League.

McCready took the Money In Money Out title after recording seven victories, defeating Chris Hurds 3–0 in the final.

The biggest average of the event actually belonged to Simon Griffiths, who hit 100.20, while James Bradford recorded 92.02 and Hurds reached 88.41.

After McCready's excellent performance in Sunday's results, it is another title to add to what is becoming a very productive spell.

Flew fires 111.33 at Dowlais

If Haines hadn't produced his 115.62, Bryan Flew's 111.33 would have comfortably taken top billing.

Flew was superb in Dowlais RFC Vault Break 3, producing the 111.33, followed by 95.94, 90.18 and two separate 88.41 averages.

He also won the tournament, beating Jack Davies 3–0 in the final and finishing with eight victories.

A title plus that collection of averages makes Flew's run one of Wednesday's strongest all-round performances.

Nash takes Vault 19 warm-up

There was another notable success for Terry Nash at Bagley Sports & Social Club.

Nash came through the Vault 19 Warm Up Money In Money Out, edging Paul Rowley 4–3 in the final.

He also recorded a 100.20 average, alongside 97.12 and 93.94, while Rowley produced an excellent 98.45.

With Vault 19 approaching, that is some very useful form for Nash.

Sartan Club produces another busy Bristol night

Closer to home, the Sartan Club Double Trouble Round Robin produced 75 recorded matches.

Matty Rogers eventually took the title after eight victories, while Alfie Palmer won seven and Warren Ryan, Ryan Smith and Ricky Palmer all collected six.

Rogers and Ricky Palmer shared the best recorded average at 81.24, with Warren Ryan and Luke Harding both reaching 77.08.

Kempster wins Wednesday Under-55

There was also another restricted-average competition in the region, with Jack Kempster taking the Wednesday Night Under-55 Average title.

Kempster recorded seven victories and produced the event's best average of 75.15.

Cameron Oram finished with six wins, while Jack Collins and Alfie Ryan both reached five.

More ton-plus performances

Wednesday was unusually rich in big averages.

Alongside Haines' 115.62 and Flew's 111.33, Adam Mould hit 103.66 at Bradmoor Farm, while William Thomas also produced 103.66 at Vetz Sports and Social Club.

Simon Griffiths, Rico Anderson, James Roberts, Nigel Lamb and Terry Nash all reached 100.20.

Mould's 103.66 came during an event ultimately won by Ross Hales, while William Thomas' big numbers weren't enough to stop Mike Huntley taking the title at Vetz.

Plenty more Wednesday winners

There was plenty more action among the 33 competitions.

Daniel Astbury won the Oddfellows Round Robin with nine victories and an 88.81 best, while Jake Shipley took the Bostin Inbetween Vault and Corey Milward won the Shooters Warm Up.

There were also victories for Ryan-Rai Rushton in the Junior Darts Round Robin, Archie Bourne in the Raging Bullseye Championship Series, Connor Levett at Trojans Whippet and Lucas Llewellyn in the Arrows U55 event.

A huge night for the averages

Thirty-three tournaments is another substantial addition to Q4QS, but Wednesday will probably be remembered most for the scoring.

A 115.62 from Haines, 111.33 from Flew, two 103.66s and five separate players reaching 100.20 made this one of the strongest statistical days in the recent database.

But once again, the daily results also showed why tournament wins matter as much as isolated averages: Roberts, Perkins, McCready, Haines, Flew and Nash all managed to combine strong performances with actually getting the job done.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: McCready Tops 103 as 39 Events Hit the Q4QS Database (30th August 2026)

Sunday delivered one of the busiest grassroots days I have covered for a while, with 39 tournaments from 30 August added to the Q4QS database.

There was action across the South West and much further afield, including local money-in-money-out competitions, Bank Holiday events, WADC regional finals and another busy programme of JDC VOLTS tournaments.

Among the South West names, Alec McCready produced the performance of the day with a 103.66 average, while Liam Moore won at Portishead, George Miller took JDC VOLTS honours in Exeter and Becca Kay claimed the WADC Vault 2.0 South West Regional Final.

McCready combines big averages with the title

There was no shortage of quality from Alec McCready at the Leominster & District Darts League Money In Money Out.

McCready didn't just win the competition – he produced some exceptional numbers along the way.

His best was a 103.66 average, while he also recorded 102.48, 96.97 and 92.75 during the tournament.

He eventually defeated Zak Turner 3–2 in the final, completing a day on which he recorded nine victories. Turner had an impressive tournament himself, winning seven matches and producing an 89.04 in the final.

It was an excellent combination of consistency, scoring and ultimately the tournament victory from McCready.

Moore takes the Portishead Sunday title

At Portishead Workmens Darts, it was Liam Moore who came through the Sunday Lunch MIMO Round Robin.

Moore was the standout player statistically as well as taking the title, producing the tournament's four highest recorded averages.

His best was 82.29, followed by 81.24, 75.15 and 74.70, with the latter coming as he defeated Andy Darbon 4–1 in the final.

Moore finished with eight wins, while Darbon recorded seven and Josh Rose produced the next-highest average of the competition at 77.08.

Becca Kay wins WADC South West Regional Final

One of Sunday's most significant regional titles went to Becca Kay, who won the WADC Vault 2.0 South West Regional Final at MK Lounge Bar in Bodmin.

Kay came through the competition with seven victories before beating Courtney Hancock 4–2 in the final.

Hancock had five wins during the event and also produced its highest recorded average at 64.05, while Tyrian Jesse reached 60.12.

For Kay, though, it was all about getting through the field and taking the regional title.

George Miller takes JDC VOLTS honours in Exeter

Sunday also featured a substantial programme of JDC VOLTS action around the country, including an event at The Kings Pub in Exeter.

There, George Miller emerged victorious.

Miller recorded five wins and defeated Quin Dymond 3–0 in the final, having produced the event's best recorded average of 67.45 earlier in the competition.

There were JDC winners elsewhere too, including Zach Langley in Milton Keynes, Ryan-Rai Rushton in Rugeley, Damian Gibbon in Halesowen, Joshua Pravato in Minehead, Jenson Macey in Waterlooville, Charlie Wills on the Isle of Wight and Rhodri Phillips in Carmarthen.

Nicholls breaks the ton at Bostin

Dan Nicholls produced another of Sunday's standout performances at Bostin Darts 180 Bar.

Nicholls won the Sunday Bank Holiday Round Robin, defeating Tom Garfield 3–0 in the final, and earlier produced a superb 100.20 average.

He finished with seven victories, while Garfield and Jake Shipley both collected six. Jamie Rollinson also impressed with a 91.09 average.

Corey Milward hits 100.20

There was another ton-plus performance in the Mile End Inn Vault Break Week 2.

Corey Milward hit 100.20, as well as further averages of 93.94 and 88.41 during a strong individual run.

The title, however, went to Liam Davies, who defeated Louis Melville 3–2 in the final. Davies and Melville both accumulated nine victories, while Milward finished with eight.

Plenty more Bank Holiday winners

The volume of Sunday's programme meant there were plenty more performances worthy of mention.

Ian Hilditch won the Amps 2.0 Under-60 Finals Day, defeating Ethan Jones 5–0, while Rhys Gould recorded an 88.41 average.

At Heath Hayes, Jack Aldridge won the Bank Holiday Knockout with a 5–1 final victory over Dan Hands. Hands produced a 96.97 during the tournament, while Aldridge reached 90.18. Earlier, Hands/Aldridge had combined to win the Bank Holiday Doubles Round Robin.

Elsewhere, David Williams won the CUFC Open despite Steve Boundy producing the tournament's highest average of 93.94, while Jake B-Smith took the South Shropshire Bank Holiday Bash.

And the winners kept coming. Shaun Vernall took the Nags Head Pre-Vault Open, Thomas Lynch won the opening week of Oliver's Sports Bar Series 3, Jake Robinson won the Bostin Under-65 Round Robin and Jamie Chaplin came through the Wicketts Sunday Night Round Robin.

Another big day added to Q4QS

Sunday's 39 tournaments make this one of the larger daily additions to the database and, more importantly, provide another substantial batch of results for the rankings, recent-form figures and developing player profiles.

McCready's combination of 103.66 and 102.48 averages plus the tournament victory provides the headline performance, but there was quality throughout the day – from Moore's consistency at Portishead and Nicholls and Milward breaking the ton, to Kay's South West regional title and another generation of juniors competing across the JDC VOLTS circuit.

And with 39 more competitions recorded from a single day, the picture of grassroots darts across the region continues to get deeper.

Yesterday’s Darts Results – Pete Hughes Fires in 104.86 as 37 Events Hit the Q4QS Database (26th August 2026

 


Another busy Wednesday of grassroots darts saw 37 tournaments added to the Q4QS database for 26 August, with action stretching across the South West and beyond.

There was plenty to pick out, but one of the clearest performances of the night came from Pete Hughes at Evesham Darts Competitions. Hughes took the Round Robin title with a 3–0 final victory over Shaun Vernall, producing a superb 104.86 average along the way.

Hughes delivers at Evesham

Pete Hughes continues to be a familiar name around the regional circuit, and this was another strong night.

His 104.86 was one of the best recorded averages across Wednesday's results, while Mitchell Leeming also impressed at Evesham with a 95.94, and Darrel Williams recorded an 88.41.

Hughes completed the job by defeating Vernall 3–0 in the final, adding another title to his recent results.

McCready takes Leominster honours

Alec McCready came through the Money In Money Out competition at Leominster & District Darts League.

McCready defeated Oscar Evans-Clay 3–1 in the final and also produced a 90.18 average during the tournament.

It was another useful result for McCready in an increasingly competitive part of the regional grassroots scene.

Richard Smith edges a seven-leg final

There was a much tighter finish at the Purton Red House Round Robin, where Richard Smith defeated James Roberts 4–3.

Ben Spencer was among the notable performers there, recording an 88.41 average.

Sanderson takes another JDC VOLTS title

The junior circuit again featured heavily in Wednesday's programme.

Charlie Sanderson won JDC VOLTS Series 7 at The Kings, defeating Charlie Fone 3–1 in the final.

With JDC and VOLTS competitions now appearing regularly in the Q4QS results database, they are also beginning to provide a much clearer picture of the young players producing results week after week.

Huntley wins 4–0

At Vetz Sports and Social Club, Mike Huntley produced one of the more emphatic final results of the night.

Huntley defeated Lloyd Sterio 4–0 to take the title and also registered an 88.41 average during the competition.

Pairs success in Devizes

There was also pairs action at the Devizes Town Pairs Special, where Sheppard/Perkins took the honours.

They defeated Dicker/Ferguson 3–0 in the final, with the winning pair recording an 80.52 average during the event.

Big numbers elsewhere

While the Q4QS daily roundup puts particular emphasis on the South West, there were some huge numbers elsewhere among Wednesday's 37 recorded competitions.

Andy Smith produced the highest recorded average of the day with 115.62 at the Bradmoor Farm Wednesday Vault Break 2. Adam Mould hit 108.15, while Chas Barstow recorded 107.36 and 104.27 during MIMO 2608.

Sam Jackson and Mark "Bully" Cannon were also among those breaking the 100 mark.

It was another night showing the depth of darts being played away from the major televised circuits — from established regional names to juniors and local players putting together eye-catching performances.

With 37 more tournaments now logged, all of the results continue to feed into the growing Q4QS database, rankings and player statistics.
