Yesterday’s Darts Resultst 13th August 2026 South and South Wes: Nankervis Hits 100 on Way to Bodmin Win as Steed, Walker, Martin and Quinn Take Titles

 

Wednesday 12 August produced another huge night of grassroots darts, with 54 tournaments added to the Q4QS database.

The South West supplied plenty of the night's stories. Jack Nankervis combined a tournament victory with a 100+ average in Bodmin, Andy Steed won Week 6 of the Pawlett Pavilion Grand Prix, Jack Walker impressed at Stonehouse, Robbie Martin continued his winning form at Stalbridge and Zach Quinn came through a competitive night at the Sartan Club in Bristol.

And while they didn't all end up with the trophy, there were some seriously impressive individual performances too.

Nankervis Produces the Complete Performance in Bodmin

One of the performances of the night came from Jack Nankervis at Bodmin Band & Social Club.

Nankervis took the Vault 18 title with a 3–1 final victory over Jamie Kay, completing a night in which he recorded eight wins.

Perhaps more impressively, he produced a 100.04 average against Kev Dunstan and also registered 96.97 earlier in the competition.

Dunstan actually produced the highest average of the tournament with 101.93, making Nankervis' eventual victory over him even more noteworthy.

Andy Steed Takes Pawlett Grand Prix Week 6

At Burnham & Highbridge Darts, Andy Steed came through a busy Pawlett Pavilion Grand Prix to take the Week 6 title.

Steed finished with nine wins, the most recorded by any player at the event, and beat Paul Griffiths in the final.

He also produced some strong numbers along the way, including an 88.79 average, while Kieran Spurdle topped the night's averages there with 93.94.

Walker Dominates at Stonehouse

There was an excellent night for Jack Walker at Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse.

Walker defeated Lee Bradley 3–0 in the final, but it was the manner of his run which particularly caught the eye.

His recorded averages included 92.02, 83.50, 77.74 and 77.08, and he finished with seven victories.

It was a strong combination of consistency and results from Walker, with Bradley himself enjoying a good night with six wins.

Robbie Martin Wins Again at Stalbridge

Robbie Martin continued to underline his recent form by winning at Stalbridge RBL.

Martin defeated Matt Yarrow 3–2 in the final and accumulated eight wins across the tournament.

However, the standout individual average at Stalbridge belonged to Alfie Yarrow, who fired in a superb 103.66. Yarrow also produced two separate 91.09 averages during the event.

Martin's best listed performance was an 88.75 in the final.

Zach Quinn Comes Through at the Sartan Club

There was another competitive Vault 18 night at the Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, where Zach Quinn emerged victorious.

Quinn beat Ellis Radford 3–2 in the final and finished with seven wins.

Radford had earlier beaten Quinn and recorded an 88.41 average, while Ryan Palmer hit 87.27. But when the title was on the line, Quinn reversed the earlier result, averaging 83.63 in the final to take the trophy.

McCready Wins a High-Quality Leominster Event

Alec McCready was the winner at Shooters Bar in Leominster, defeating Chris Hurds 3–2 in the final.

Both finalists also broke the 100 mark during the tournament.

Hurds produced 100.20 against Zach Boardman, while McCready matched that exact figure against Clayton Johnston.

McCready eventually finished with eight victories to Hurds' seven, making this one of Wednesday's stronger-looking events on the numbers available.

Alfie Yarrow Heads the South West Standouts

Away from the tournament winners, Alfie Yarrow's 103.66 at Stalbridge was one of the best performances recorded in the region.

Kev Dunstan's 101.93 at Bodmin was another major highlight, while Carl McFarlane broke three figures with a 100.20 at Galaxy Sports Bar in Torquay. McFarlane's big number came on a night eventually won by Harry Madge.

There was also that 100.20 apiece from Chris Hurds and Alec McCready at Leominster.

It meant Wednesday wasn't simply a busy night in terms of tournament numbers – there was plenty of quality being produced as well.

Under-55 Action

The Wednesday Night Under-55 Average competition was won by Jack Kempster, who defeated Karl Aldom in the final.

Kempster accumulated eight wins across the night, while Aldom recorded five. Alfie Miller produced the competition's highest listed average at 73.32.

These restricted-average competitions remain particularly interesting to follow because they give another group of players regular competitive tournament darts – and, as the database continues to grow, we're increasingly able to follow their form alongside players competing in open events.

Three Players Hit 111.33

Looking beyond the South West, the highest figure of the entire day's data was remarkably shared by three players.

Allan Way, Kai Clark and Lee Evans all recorded 111.33 averages, while Evans backed his up with another huge 105.74.

Bryan Flew produced 104.86 and 103.66, with Ryan Walsh, Daniel Varney and Alfie Yarrow also recording 103.66.

As always, these are individual match averages rather than tournament averages, but they provide a fascinating snapshot of some of the best darts being played around the grassroots scene.

Another 54 Tournaments Added

Wednesday's 54 tournaments add another substantial chunk of results to Q4QS.

The individual winners matter, but the bigger picture becomes increasingly interesting as the database grows.

Repeated tournament wins, sustained runs of form, improving players and strong performances at different venues all start to become visible.

And Wednesday provided a little bit of everything: Nankervis winning with big numbers, Steed collecting nine wins, Walker dominating at Stonehouse, Martin continuing his form and Quinn coming through another competitive Bristol field.

Plenty more to follow.

Yesterday's Darts Results South and South West– 31 July 2026

 

Thirty-nine tournaments were added to the Q4QS database on Friday, making it another busy evening across the grassroots darts scene. As always, the South West produced plenty of eye-catching performances, with several familiar names lifting Vault titles, while there were also standout displays from around the country featuring some exceptional three-dart averages.

The South West was once again at the heart of the action.

Pete Hughes claimed the Vault 18.0 title at The Bengeworth Club, Evesham, defeating Graham Hall 3-1 in the final. While Hughes lifted the trophy, it was Joe Quiney who produced one of the performances of the night, firing in a superb 111.33 average, with Vince Tipple also breaking the 107 barrier during an excellent evening of darts.

Cornwall also celebrated a winner as Jamie Kay enjoyed an outstanding run to victory at St Breward AFC & Social Club. Kay defeated Dennis Bryant 3-1 in the final and impressed throughout the night, recording four of the venue's five highest averages while winning ten matches across the competition.

Gloucestershire provided another high-quality event where Shaun Vernall edged Joe Bagguley 3-2 in a closely fought final at Saintbridge Sports Club. Paul Meyer produced the headline average of 100.20 during the evening, while Bagguley also recorded two performances above 93, underlining the strength of the field.

In Somerset, Andy Steed lifted the title at Bullets Sports Bar, Yeovil, overcoming Ben Collins 3-1 in the final. Daren Field and George Hughes both posted impressive 96.97 averages, highlighting the quality throughout the competition rather than just the eventual winner.

Taunton's Pegasus 68 Club saw Steven Rees defeat Jack Bellingham 3-0 in the final. Bellingham produced the night's highest averages at the venue, but Rees was clinical when it mattered most to secure another Vault title.

The women's action at Bengeworth saw Jane Price defeat Rachel Curtis 3-2 to take the WADC Vault title, rounding off another successful evening for one of the South West's busiest venues.

Away from the South West there were several exceptional performances.

The standout average of the day belonged to Shane Turner, who produced a stunning 120.24 average at East Challow before Lee Evans eventually claimed the title. Elsewhere, Roger Crook, Mick Rodgers, Jake Eichen and Jack Harvey all featured among the day's highest averages, while Paul Rowley and Luke Harding both exceeded the 104 mark in their respective events.

Another 39 tournaments added to the database demonstrates the incredible depth of grassroots darts currently being played across the UK. Every evening brings new winners, new standout performances and more movement within the Q4QS rankings, with Friday's action providing another excellent snapshot of the strength of local darts.

Yesterday's Grassroots Darts Round-Up – 23 July 2026

 Thursday is always one of the busiest nights of the week on the grassroots circuit, and yesterday was no exception. I added 42 tournaments to the Q4QS database, with hundreds of players competing across England and Wales in Vault 18 events, local leagues, round robins and junior competitions.

The evening produced some outstanding performances, with several players breaking the 100-average barrier and plenty of familiar names continuing their excellent recent form.

Robbie Long Continues His Incredible Run

One of the standout stories came at Hangar61, where Robbie Long defeated Cori Wiltshire 3-2 in a closely fought final.

Robbie's recent form has been exceptional and another tournament victory continues an impressive winning streak. Although Ashton Brown recorded the highest average of the night at the venue with 105.68, Robbie produced two 96+ averages on his way to lifting the trophy, showing both scoring power and consistency.

Andy Steed Claims Plymouth Honours

At Vault 18.0 @ Legends Lounge, Plymouth, Andy Steed enjoyed another excellent evening, defeating Finlay Cleave 3-0 in the final.

Steed also produced the highest average of the tournament at 91.09, underlining why he continues to be one of the strongest performers in the South West.

Robbie Martin Stars In Yeovil

The performance of the night in the South West arguably belonged to Robbie Martin, who won the Vault 18.0 event at Yeovil Labour Club.

Martin defeated Mike Harper in the final and produced a superb 111.33 average, one of the highest recorded anywhere in the country during Thursday's action.

Henry Cooper Hits A Huge Average

The highest average recorded across all competitions came from Henry Cooper, whose incredible 115.62 average helped him win the Vault 18.0 event at The Kings Arms, Wallisdown.

It's a performance that will certainly catch plenty of attention and demonstrates the quality regularly being produced on the grassroots circuit.

• Jack Seymour at Locks Heath.

• Ashton Brown – 105.68

• James Richardson – 104.42
• Sion Thomas – 103.66
• Joey Cole – 103.66

Looking Ahead

With another busy weekend of darts just around the corner, there will be plenty more opportunities for players to climb the Q4QS rankings.

As always, congratulations to everyone who picked up titles, reached finals or produced personal best performances,

Yesterday's Results Round-Up – Monday 20 July 2026

 

Monday saw another busy evening on the grassroots darts circuit, with 39 tournaments added to the Q4QS database. As always, this roundup focuses primarily on the South West, where several familiar names continued their excellent recent form and another handful of standout performances caught the eye.

Andy Steed Keeps the Winning Run Going

One player who simply refuses to slow down is Andy Steed.

Andy claimed another Vault 18.0 title at 8 Ball Bar & Sports, Paignton, adding yet another trophy to what has become a remarkable spell of form. He also produced a superb 91.09 average during the evening, once again showing why he remains one of the hottest players on the South West circuit.

With titles continuing to arrive week after week, Andy is enjoying one of the strongest runs of the summer.

Mitch McCarthy Wins Strong North Star Field

The North Star Club, Calne once again attracted a competitive field, and it was Mitch McCarthy who came away with the title.

While Mitch lifted the trophy, the event also produced some exceptional darts. Gary Hiscock fired a magnificent 104.86 average, while Josh McCarthy added performances of 100.20, 99.21 and 94.02, underlining the quality throughout the night.

It was another reminder that Calne continues to produce some of the strongest Monday night darts in the region.

Ben Collins Triumphs in Salisbury

At Stratford Social Club, Ben Collins enjoyed an excellent evening to take the latest Monday Vault title.

Billy Kelly pushed him all the way during the competition, while Zachary Petty recorded the highest average of the night at 88.29. It was another closely contested event that showcased the depth of talent in Salisbury.

Craig Britten Tops the Under-65 Event

The Clandown Darts Promotions Under-65 Average Round Robin produced another entertaining evening.

Craig Britten lifted the title after a consistent day's work and also recorded the highest average of the tournament at 81.24, rounding off an excellent performance from start to finish.

George Humphreys Continues His Excellent Form

Another player to impress was George Humphreys, who claimed victory in the JDC VOLTS Series 7 at Stratford Social Club, Salisbury.

George once again demonstrated why he is regarded as one of the brightest junior talents, adding another title to his growing collection after another confident display.

Codi Wagstaff Wins in Weston-super-Mare

The 49 Club Under-55 Round Robin produced another competitive local event.

Codi Wagstaff emerged victorious after a strong evening, while Bart Mansfield recorded the highest average of the competition with 69.91. It was another well-supported event with plenty of competitive matches throughout.

Performance of the Day

Although Andy Steed continued his superb winning run, the individual performance of the evening arguably belonged to Gary Hiscock, whose outstanding 104.86 average at North Star Club was one of the highest recorded anywhere in the Q4QS database on Monday.

The standard continues to rise across the South West, and if Monday night's action is anything to go by, there will be plenty more storylines to follow over the coming week.

Congratulations to all of Monday's winners, and good luck to everyone back on the oche over the next few days.

Yesterday's Results Round-Up – Sunday 19 July 2026

 

Sunday saw another huge day of grassroots darts, with 49 tournaments added to the Q4QS database. As always, there was plenty of quality across the country, but this roundup focuses mainly on the South West, where several familiar names continued their excellent seasons.

Andy Hammond Backs Up Friday's Success

One of the biggest stories of the day came at Vault 18.0 @ Matson Rugby Club, Gloucester.

Just two days after lifting the Saintbridge Sports Club title, Andy Hammond made it back-to-back Vault victories by defeating Mitch McCarthy in another high-quality final.

Josh McCarthy produced two 90+ averages during the afternoon before falling in the latter stages, highlighting just how strong the Gloucester field was once again. Andy's latest success further underlines the superb form he has shown over recent weeks.

Andy Steed Keeps the Momentum Going

Another player continuing a remarkable run is Andy Steed.

He claimed the Vault 18.0 @ The Queens Arms title after overcoming Dave Fisher in the final, adding yet another trophy to what is becoming an outstanding summer.

With title after title arriving over recent weeks, Andy remains one of the most consistent performers anywhere in the South West.

Archie Self Hits Three Ton Averages

Over at The Phoenix Club, Waterlooville, Archie Self produced one of the individual performances of the day.

Archie defeated former PDC Tour Card holder Steve West in the final, but it was the manner of the victory that caught the eye. His run included averages of 100.20, 97.87 and 97.38, demonstrating the sort of scoring power capable of winning any tournament.

Plymouth Success for Scott Lawrey

At Vault 18.0 @ Legends Lounge, Plymouth, Scott Lawrey enjoyed an excellent afternoon.

He defeated Nick Miller in the final after recording four successive 80+ averages during the event, continuing his impressive recent form on the Devon circuit.

Mark Wellington Wins in Cinderford

Another Gloucestershire title went the way of Mark Wellington, who lifted the trophy at The Nags Head Inn, Cinderford.

While Graham Jenkins recorded the highest average of the event, Mark consistently found a way through the draw to collect another Vault title.

Strong Performances Across the Region

Elsewhere, Ricky King claimed victory at Swanage RBL, while Joseph Lauridsen won the latest JDC VOLTS event in Exeter. Charlie Mossman also impressed by taking the Minehead JDC VOLTS title after another excellent day's darts.

Performance of the Day

There were plenty of outstanding displays on Sunday, but Archie Self's scoring at Waterlooville deserves special recognition. Three averages approaching the ton, followed by victory over Steve West in the final, made it one of the standout performances of the weekend.

Meanwhile, Andy Hammond and Andy Steed continued their exceptional recent form with yet more Vault titles, reinforcing their status as two of the hottest players on the South West circuit.

Congratulations to everyone who lifted a trophy on Sunday, and good luck to those back on the oche this week.

Yesterday's Results Round-Up – Friday 17 July 2026

 

Friday nights rarely disappoint on the grassroots circuit, and this week was no exception. Several familiar names were back in the winner's circle, while a handful of outstanding performances stole the headlines across the South West.

Joe Bagguley Ends Shaun Vernall's Charge

The biggest story of the evening came at Vault 18.0 @ Saintbridge Sports Club, Gloucester.

Ahead of the tournament, Shaun Vernall looked the man to beat after another excellent run of form. He certainly lived up to the billing early on, producing a magnificent 107.36 average before reaching the latter stages.

But it was Joe Bagguley who had the final say.

After firing successive 103.66, 100.20 and 93.94 averages, Joe defeated Andy Hammond in the final to lift the title, capping one of the finest performances of the evening. It was a statement victory against one of the strongest Friday night fields of recent weeks.

Andy Steed Continues His Excellent Summer

Over in Taunton, Andy Steed added another Vault title to an already impressive season.

He defeated Steven Rees in the final and once again showed why he remains one of the most consistent performers in the region, producing a best average of 91.65 during another successful evening.

With another trophy added to the cabinet, Andy's excellent run of form continues.

Jamie Kay Dominates in Bodmin

At St Breward AFC & Social Club, Jamie Kay enjoyed one of the performances of the night.

His route to the title included four averages above 93, finishing with a commanding victory over Joshua Meneer in the final. That level of consistency made him one of Friday's standout champions.

Robbie Roy Wins in Yeovil

The Friday Vault at Bullets Sports Bar, Yeovil produced another competitive evening.

Robbie Roy lifted the title after defeating Daren Field in the final, while Jim Chappell's 93.94 average and Adam Kingsnorth's 95.00 showed just how competitive the standard was throughout the night.

Liam Blakeley Comes Through in Dorchester

The Dorchester Vault may have been one of the smaller fields of the evening, but it still produced quality darts.

Liam Blakeley defeated Matt Yarrow in the final, although Matt recorded the highest average of the event with 93.94, underlining just how closely contested the tournament proved to be.

Logun Godbeer Adds Another Title

The Worle Summer Open saw another impressive performance from one of the area's brightest young talents.

Logun Godbeer defeated Adrian Wood in the final after another excellent evening. Adrian produced the highest average of the tournament at 92.02, but Logun once again found a way to get over the finishing line and collect another title.

Performance of the Day

There were several outstanding displays across Friday's action, but Joe Bagguley's performance at Saintbridge stands out.

Not only did he produce three ton-plus averages, but he also negotiated one of the toughest fields of the evening to claim the title. Meanwhile, Shaun Vernall's superb 107.36 average served as another reminder of the incredible standard currently being produced on the South West circuit.

Congratulations to all of Friday night's winners, and good luck to everyone competing over the rest of the weekend.

Yesterday's Results Round-Up – Thursday 16 July 2026

 

Thursday night was another busy one for the grassroots game, with 46 tournaments added to the Q4QS database. Across the South West there were plenty of familiar names collecting titles, while several players produced outstanding performances on another action-packed evening.

Josh McCarthy Continues His Winning Form

One of the standout stories came at The Carlton Club, Stroud, where Josh McCarthy added yet another Vault 18 title to his growing collection.

Josh defeated Paul Meyer in a closely fought final and once again showed why he remains one of the form players in the region. Averaging over 91 in the final, he continued the consistency that has made him one of the toughest opponents on the South West circuit.

Andy Steed Back on Top

At the rearranged Vault 18 at Stalbridge RBL, Andy Steed claimed another title after defeating Callum Harrison in the final.

Andy produced a superb 92.02 average during the evening and once again demonstrated the quality that has kept him among the leading performers in the Q4QS rankings throughout 2026.

Henry Cooper Triumphs in Yeovil

The Yeovil Labour Club hosted another competitive Vault 18, with Henry Cooper lifting the trophy after overcoming Steve Donohue.

Henry impressed throughout the evening, producing multiple 90+ averages and finishing strongly to secure another excellent title.

Robbie Long Returns to Winning Ways

The weekly Hangar 61 Thursday Night Round Robin once again delivered a highly competitive field.

Robbie Long defeated Martyn Freeman in the final after both players enjoyed excellent evenings. Martyn recorded the night's highest average at 93.94, while Robbie responded with an 88.06 average in the final to seal the title.

Miles O'Toole and Mark Jennings also enjoyed strong runs to the latter stages.

Jamie Shovelton Wins at DartAsylum

Another quality field assembled for the Thursday Night Round Robin at DartAsylum HQ.

Jamie Shovelton emerged victorious after beating Ashton Brown in the final. Although Ashton narrowly missed out on the title, he produced some of the best darts of the evening, recording three averages above 91 during another impressive run.

Morgan Fowler Keeps Momentum Going

Morgan Fowler continued his recent excellent form by winning the Purton Red House Under 70 Round Robin.

His victory over Dillon Moran in the final was built on another consistent night's scoring, while Dave Legg posted the event's highest average with an impressive 91.09.

Performance of the Day

There were several outstanding performances across Thursday's tournaments, but Andy Steed, Josh McCarthy and Henry Cooper all continued their excellent recent form with another title.

Martyn Freeman's 93.94 average at Hangar 61 and Ashton Brown's scoring display at DartAsylum also deserve special mention despite both falling just short in their respective finals.

Congratulations to all of Thursday night's winners, and good luck to everyone back on the oche over the weekend.

Who Can Stop Them? South West's Hottest Winning Streaks

Winning one or two matches is always satisfying, but putting together ten consecutive victories is something altogether different.

As part of the Q4QS rankings, I thought I'd take a look at the players within a 50-mile radius of Bath who currently boast a perfect 10 wins and 0 defeats in their last ten matches. To qualify, players must have competed in at least six events, ensuring the list rewards sustained form rather than one exceptional evening.

At the top of the list is Lee Evans, whose recent form has been nothing short of outstanding. Ten straight victories have helped him maintain an excellent standard, and he heads into his next event as one of the region's form players.

Just behind him is Robbie Martin, another player who has been quietly putting together a superb run. Consistency has been the key, and ten wins on the bounce is never easy regardless of the opposition.

The list also includes several familiar names from the South West darts scene. Kieran Smith, Dean Brown, Liam Cook, Andy Steed, David Farmer, Danny Humphries and C-Jay Pipe have all reached double figures without tasting defeat in their last ten matches.

Some of these players have achieved their runs over dozens, or even hundreds, of matches played this season, making the achievement even more impressive.

Current 10 Match Winning Streaks (Minimum 6 Events)

Rank	Player
1	Lee Evans
2	Robbie Martin
3	Kieran Smith
4	Dean Brown
5	Liam Cook
6	Andy Steed
7	David Farmer
8	Danny Humphries
9	C-Jay Pipe

One defeat is all it takes for a player to disappear from this list, while one more victory extends their streak even further. That makes it one of the most dynamic rankings on Q4QS, with changes possible every single tournament night.

The big question is...

Who will be the first to extend their streak? And perhaps more importantly... who will be the player to end it?

Yesterday's Results Round-Up – 13 July 2026

 

Monday night saw another busy evening across the grassroots darts scene, with more than 30 tournaments added to the Q4QS database. As always, I'm concentrating mainly on the South West, where there were plenty of familiar names collecting titles and producing impressive performances.

Josh McCarthy Continues His Fine Form

The standout performance came at Vault 18.0 @ North Star Club, Calne, where Josh McCarthy continued his excellent run of form.

Josh defeated Mitch McCarthy in the final to collect another Vault title, producing the day's highest average at the venue with a superb 91.34 average during his semi-final victory over Cori Wiltshire.

Mitch McCarthy continued his own excellent spell by reaching another final, while Cori Wiltshire impressed with a 91.09 average of his own and Michael Davies also fired in an excellent 87.57 average.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to look beyond Josh whenever he enters a local Vault event.

Andy Steed Back in the Winner's Circle

Over in Paignton, Andy Steed claimed the title after overcoming Charlie Wiles in the final.

Andy produced one of the performances of the day with a 93.94 average and once again demonstrated why he remains one of the strongest players in the South West. Charlie Wiles also enjoyed an excellent evening to reach the final, while Richie Blaynee and Leigh Bowman both posted averages above 85.

Kian Gover Triumphs in Barnstaple

The Barnstaple Vault produced another competitive field with Kian Gover lifting the trophy after defeating Zac Sanders in the final.

David Yeaman recorded the highest average of the night with an excellent 91.09, while Zac Sanders won eight matches during the evening before narrowly missing out on the title.

Martin Haines Wins in Salisbury

The Stratford Social Club in Salisbury produced another quality Monday night tournament.

Martin Haines edged past Stephen Lawrence in a close final, while Ashley Melvin was arguably the standout scorer on the night with several averages over 80, including a best of 90.51.

David Farmer Takes Minehead Honours

Minehead's Vault also produced some excellent darts as David Farmer lifted the title with victory over Jack Walker.

Taylor Foster posted the highest average of the evening at 96.97 before Farmer eventually took the tournament with several excellent displays of his own.

Junior Darts Continues to Flourish

It was another encouraging night for the JDC.

• Logun Godbeer won at Highbridge after beating Tai Anderson in the final.
• Zachary Petty claimed victory in Salisbury.
• Kian Hopkins came out on top in Milton Keynes.

The standard being produced by the next generation continues to impress, with Logun Godbeer and Zachary Petty both recording excellent 85.89 averages.

Monday Round Robin

At Clandown, Darren Cox enjoyed an excellent evening to defeat Garreth Peat in the final. Darren produced an 85.89 average during his successful run and finished the night with seven victories.

Performance of the Day

Although there were several outstanding performances across the country, Josh McCarthy once again strengthened his position as one of the form players in the South West with another Vault title, while Andy Steed's return to winning ways in Paignton was another notable result.

Congratulations to all of Monday's winners, and good luck to everyone back on the oche over the coming days.

Introducing the 2026 South West Vault Finals Order of Merit

Over the course of 2026 I'm going to be keeping track of a brand-new statistic – the South West Vault Finals Order of Merit.

The idea is simple. Instead of rewarding players for entering lots of tournaments, this table rewards those who consistently perform when it matters most: the knockout stages of the biggest Vault events across the South West.

Every Vault event held during 2026 will contribute towards the table, with players earning points based on how far they progress.

Points System

🏆 Winner – 5 points

🥈 Runner-up – 4 points

🥉 Semi-final – 3 points

Quarter-final – 2 points

Last 16 – 1 point

The aim is to recognise consistency in high-quality competitions. A player who regularly reaches quarter-finals and semi-finals could finish above someone who wins one event but doesn't feature again.

After the opening three Vault events (Vaults 15, 16 and 17), the standings are already taking shape.

Rank	Player	Points
1	Jamie Kay	8
=2	Andy Steed	7
=2	Josh McCarthy	7
4	Neil Meneer	6
=5	Danny Humphries	5
=5	Henry Cooper	5
=5	Ashton Brown	5

One of the early stories is Jamie Kay, who tops the table without winning a Vault. Two semi-final appearances and a quarter-final have rewarded consistency, while Josh McCarthy, Henry Cooper and Ashton Brown have all picked up maximum points by winning a Vault event.

As more Vault competitions take place during the year, I'll continue updating the table to see who really is the standout performer across the South West's premier local events.

It should make for an interesting race throughout the season. 

Monday 6 July Results Round-Up – Andy Steed, Johnny Haines and Rich Griffee Shine

 

Monday night's action produced another packed evening of grassroots darts across the South West, with ADC Vault 18 events once again attracting strong fields and some outstanding performances.

From Paignton, Barnstaple, Calne, Salisbury, Minehead and Didcot to the latest action in Evesham, players continued to produce impressive displays as the summer darts calendar gathers momentum.

Andy Steed Continues His Outstanding Form

Andy Steed's excellent run continued at Vault 18 in Paignton, where he defeated Luke Grantham 3-0 in the final.

Steed recorded a tournament-high 93.94 average on two occasions and never looked far from top gear throughout the evening. His consistency continues to make him one of the form players in the South West.

Johnny Haines Lifts The Didcot Title

Another player enjoying an excellent spell is Johnny Haines, who claimed the Didcot Vault 18 title.

Haines defeated Roger Crook 3-1 in the final after producing several excellent performances, including averages of 96.97 and 93.94. Another impressive evening adds to an already strong season.

Rich Griffee Wins In Calne

One of the strongest fields of the night assembled at the North Star Club, Calne.

Rich Griffee edged Samuel King 3-2 in an entertaining final, while Gary Hiscock produced two of the night's best individual averages with 93.94 and 91.09 before falling in the semi-finals. The quality on show demonstrated once again why the Calne Vault continues to attract some of the region's strongest players.

Kian Gover Takes Barnstaple Honours

In North Devon, Kian Gover lifted the Barnstaple Vault title with a 3-1 victory over Sam Chance.

Neil Ridd posted the highest average of the evening, but Gover's consistency throughout the knockout stages proved decisive as he secured another excellent tournament victory.

Danny Humphries Triumphs In Salisbury

At Stratford Social Club, Danny Humphries came through another competitive field to defeat Shoey Ayres 3-2 in the final.

Humphries topped the averages with a best of 90.18 and continued his recent good form with another impressive Vault title.

Minehead Produces Big Scoring

One of the biggest averages of the South West evening came at The Banckers Draught, Minehead, where David Farmer fired in a superb 107.36 average.

Although he didn't win the tournament, his scoring was one of the standout individual performances of the night, while Jack Walker claimed the title after defeating Taylor Foster in the final.

Evesham Delivers More Quality

The Bengeworth Vault again produced an excellent standard of darts.

Rhys Jackson defeated Pete Hughes in the final, but it was American professional Danny Lauby who grabbed the headlines statistically with a huge 107.36 average during the evening.

South West Winners

🏆 Andy Steed – Paignton

🏆 Johnny Haines – Didcot

🏆 Rich Griffee – Calne

🏆 Kian Gover – Barnstaple

🏆 Danny Humphries – Salisbury

🏆 Jack Walker – Minehead

🏆 Rhys Jackson – Evesham
