Yesterday's Darts Results: Beau Greaves Completes Four-Title Sweep, Dan Nicholls Wins Twice and 92 Tournaments Added – 11 October 2026

Sunday brought another 92 tournaments into the Q4QS database, covering PDC Women's Series titles, ADC Vaults, open tournaments, WADC events and a particularly busy JDC Junior Volts programme.

There were plenty of stories beyond the six winners on the results graphic. Beau Greaves completed a four-title Women's Series weekend, Dan Nicholls won at two venues, and Logan Symons Jnr hit 100.20 in Plymouth. Further South West highlights came from Joe Bagguley in Gloucester and Liam George Elliott at Bretforton.

Beau Greaves completes a remarkable four-title weekend

After winning Events 21 and 22 on Saturday, Beau Greaves took both remaining PDC Women's Series titles on Sunday.

In Event 23, she beat Jade Gofford 5–3 in the final with a 101.59 average. Earlier she hit 103.66 against Steph Clarke, 102.56 against Fallon Sherrock, 100.20 against Jody Hancock and 96.97 against Rebecca Allen.

That's a remarkable set of figures from a single competition.

In Event 24, Greaves defeated Aurora Fochesato 5–2 in the final, adding averages of 96.35 against Kirsty Hutchinson, 94.91 against Rebecca Allen and 92.49 against Lauren Bloomfield.

Four tournaments over the weekend, four victories. It's a level of consistency that deserves recognition across the sport.

Dan Nicholls delivers at Double Tops – and wins again at Bostin Darts

In yesterday's Q4QS preview of Double Tops Micro Bar in Halesowen, I asked whether anybody could stop Dan Nicholls.

The answer from Sunday's results was emphatic: Nicholls won the Vault, defeating Ryan Cave 3–0 in the final and recording eight wins.

His best average was 107.36 against Spencer Cree, the dark horse from the preview. He also hit 85.89 against Rhys Boz, 84.87 against Ryan Cave and 83.50 against Ben Meredith.

Joshua McDonagh reached 83.50, while James Dowling, McDonagh, Callum Hall and Cave each recorded five wins.

And that wasn't Nicholls' only title in Sunday's export.

At Bostin Darts 180 Bar, Blackheath, he defeated Pete Hughes in the final and finished with seven wins.

Nicholls recorded 91.09 and two 88.41 averages. Hughes, himself a winner at Wych Elm on Saturday, reached another final and hit 93.94 against Steve Sewell.

Two more tournament victories on the same date make Nicholls' ongoing run one of the most compelling stories in the Q4QS records.

Plymouth: Logan Symons Jnr hits 100.20

At Legends Lounge in Plymouth, Logan Symons Jnr won the Vault, defeating Dave Webb 3–0 in the final.

His 100.20 against Andy Steed was the standout average, and he added 88.26 against James Farrell.

Symons recorded six wins, with Webb, Steed and Paul Palmer all collecting five. Steed also produced 88.41 and 83.93.

This was a good-quality South West event, with a strong performance from the winner and several challengers contributing useful numbers.

Gloucester: Joe Bagguley takes Tuffley title

Joe Bagguley won at Tuffley Community Association, beating Will Jackson 3–0 in the final.

He collected six victories and hit the tournament's highest average, 86.71 against Lee Bradley.

Alex Cantillion recorded 79.11 and 76.42, while Jackson finished with four wins.

Evesham: Liam George Elliott wins Bretforton one-off

At Bretforton Sports Club, Liam George Elliott defeated Jason Reeve 3–0 in the final to take the Sunday one-off Vault title.

Reeve recorded eight wins, compared with Elliott's six, showing that the eventual winner and most prolific match-winner aren't always the same player.

Dave Honey led the averages with 84.35, while Robert Comben and Paul Jones both reached 83.50.

Reeve recorded 80.05, and Shaun Vernall reached 79.11.

Earlswood: Connor Hopkins produces a superb open-tournament run

One of the best performances of the day came at the Earlswood Monthly Open.

Connor Hopkins won ten matches, beating Joshua Russell 3–1 in the final with a 104.78 average.

He also hit 100.20 and 93.94 earlier in the event.

Russell's final average was 101.77, and he finished with nine wins. With 106 matches recorded, this was a substantial event and an excellent title-winning run.

High-quality Vault winners across England

At The Phoenix Club, Waterlooville, Steve West won seven matches, beat Leo Howard 3–2 in the final and hit 107.36, 93.94, 89.92 and 86.71.

At Frimley Green Working Men's Club, Johnny Haines won eight matches and defeated Jack Harvey 3–0, recording 103.66, 95.41 and 88.41 along the way.

At Clubhouse in Sheffield, Al Jacques produced 104.86 in the final, defeating Ciaran Forde 3–0. Forde had recorded 100.20 and 91.09 earlier in the event.

At Flight Night, Burnley, James Lawson recorded 103.66, 91.09 and 85.89, winning eight matches before defeating Dean Sheridan in the final.

At Highways Sports & Social Club, Colchester, Asa Cansdale beat Dan Brennan 3–1 in the final, recording eight wins and averages of 97.95 and 96.97.

At Clacton Sports Bar, Kevin Edwards beat Graham Munt 3–1, with a best average of 95.48.

At Swanage RBL, Ricky King defeated Jordan Cluskey 3–1, collecting eight victories and recording 96.97, 85.89 and 85.08.

At The Bevy, Brighton, Connor Levett won eight matches and beat Haydn Baker in the final, producing 96.97, 92.02, 89.64 and 85.08.

At Sunday Money In Money Out, Tyler Garrett won eight matches, recorded 100.20 and three separate 91.09 averages, and defeated Nico Adams 3–2 in the final.

At the Littlehampton Premier Darts Series, Darren Edwards won ten matches and beat Craig Stoner 3–0, recording 92.02 and 88.41. Stoner reached 96.97.

At the NDC First Anniversary, David Skinner collected ten victories and beat Evan Bajjada 4–1 in the final, with a best average of 93.94.

Welsh Vaults: Stephen Cake, Kelson Hughes and more

Wales produced another substantial collection of results.

At Blaenavon Constitutional Club, Stephen Cake defeated Kevin Mills in the final, collecting eight victories. Cake recorded 100.20 against Jose Van Angeles, alongside 91.09 and 86.71.

At Llandudno Conservative Club, Kelson Hughes won eight matches and defeated Mike Castro 3–2, hitting 83.50 and 80.63.

At The Angel, Welshpool, Ewan Jones defeated Kacey Jones in the final, recording eight wins and a best average of 96.97. Kacey hit 93.94 and 91.09, while Mark Layton also recorded 96.97.

Other Welsh Vault winners included Andrew Smith at Champs Bar in Swansea, Jack Brown at Mile End Inn in Swansea, Steffan Hughes at Clwb Llyn Bach in Porthmadog and Michael Sales at Saith Seren in Wrexham.

WADC: six women's Vault competitions recorded

I was particularly pleased to see six explicitly labelled WADC events in Sunday's export. It's important that these tournaments receive coverage alongside the wider Vault programme.

At Alford Sports & Social Club, Warrington, Gracie Willmitt beat Sandra Rule 3–0 in the final, collecting seven victories. Her best average was 58.94, with further figures of 57.81, 54.99 and 54.04.

At Copa in Caernarfon, Sue Davies defeated Paula Jones to take the title, producing an excellent 85.89 and further averages of 71.57 and 71.05.

At Eastleigh WMC, Rebecca Edwards defeated Daisy Humphreys and finished with six wins, reaching 60.93.

At Highways Sports & Social Club, Colchester, Kayleigh Brown beat Sophie Shepherd, recording 63.61 and 63.51.

At The Phoenix Club, Waterlooville, Aimee Jeffery beat Rosie Robinson, while at Y Bodunig Inn, Dyserth, Sharon Jones defeated Daisy Mellors.

The numbers will vary from event to event, but the value of regular organised competition is much bigger than the averages alone.

Six separate WADC tournaments represent six opportunities for women to compete, gain experience and become part of a local darts scene.

I'd like to see more organisers giving this format a try, including alongside established Vault nights.

Junior Volts: Arjun Sharma breaks 100 and Joseph Lauridsen wins in Exeter

Sunday's JDC Junior Volts programme was extensive, and some of the scoring was exceptional.

At Shepperton Sports Club, Arjun Sharma hit a brilliant 103.66 against Harry Mortimer, recorded seven victories and defeated Prem Ahluwalia in the final. His other leading averages included 81.24 and 77.74.

At Mossley Tavern, Rugeley, Lucas Kelly hit 100.20 against Jay Cottier. The title went to Ollie Gallimore, who defeated Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris in the final, with both finalists recording seven wins.

At The Kings Pub, Exeter, Joseph Lauridsen defeated Ellie Harwood 3–1 in the final, recording eight wins and a best average of 81.24. Harwood produced 77.08 and 71.57 during the competition.

At Soccer Zone, Halesowen, Charlie Lowin beat Theo Machin 3–1 to win the event, while Tyler Shuck recorded 84.29 and 81.24.

At Hotshots, Milton Keynes, Mason Lyon won eight matches and defeated Zach Joyce 3–1 in the final, reaching 76.42 and 75.15.

Further Junior Volts winners included Eden Groom at Bishop's Stortford, Tom Shipton at Bushey, Rikki Sayer in Norwich, Logan Smith at the event moved to Gamlingay Social Club, Teddy Penston at Leigh-on-Sea, Reece Smythe at Stowmarket, Jack Powell at Bargoed, Leo Murrant at Waterlooville, Tyler Harris at Gillingham and Rhodri Phillips at Carmarthen.

There were also notable individual averages from Max Banachowicz (86.71) at Waterlooville and Steffan Thomas (84.40) at Carmarthen.

These results underline why junior darts deserves its own place in the daily coverage.

Five standout performances

  1. Beau Greaves – Four PDC Women's Series titles over the weekend, including Sunday's 103.66, 102.56 and 101.59 averages.
  2. Dan Nicholls – Two Vault titles in Sunday's results, including a 107.36 at Double Tops.
  3. Connor Hopkins – Ten victories at Earlswood, with 104.78 in the final and another 100.20 earlier.
  4. Steve West – A 107.36 average and the Waterlooville title, backed by several other strong matches.
  5. Arjun Sharma – 103.66 in Junior Volts at Shepperton, alongside seven victories and the title.

Logan Symons Jnr, Johnny Haines, Alan Slater and the continued growth of the WADC programme also deserve recognition.

Another 92 tournaments added to Q4QS

The headline averages are impressive, but the real story is the breadth of darts being played.

From Beau Greaves at the top of the professional women's game to regular Vaults, local opens, WADC competitions and young players making progress in Junior Volts, there was something happening at every level.

Each event added to Q4QS builds the player histories, rankings and venue records that help tell those stories over time.

Q4QS Weekly SpotlightQ4QS Weekly Spotlight

 


Three Players Who Caught My Eye This Week

Every week, hundreds of matches are played across the Q4QS coverage area, producing countless stories that deserve to be told. While tournament winners often grab the headlines, they're not always the only players making an impression. Sometimes it's a player who strings together deep runs across multiple events, someone who produces exceptional averages against strong opposition, or someone who simply finds another level when it matters most.

That's what Q4QS Weekly Spotlight is all about.

Each weekend I'll be selecting three players whose performances genuinely caught my eye over the previous seven days. Some weeks they'll be established names continuing their excellent form, while other weeks they'll be rising stars announcing themselves with a breakthrough performance. The common theme is that every selection has earned their place through what they've achieved during the week.

This week's spotlight falls on three players who impressed in very different ways. Ashton Brown enjoyed a remarkable Saturday that included a major tournament victory and a memorable nine-dart leg, Spencer Edwards demonstrated why consistency remains one of the most valuable qualities in darts, while Dan Nicholls capped a sensational week by collecting two titles in a single day.


Ashton Brown

Player Profile

Ashton Brown has established himself as one of the South West's leading performers, combining success on the regional circuit with impressive results against elite opposition. His Q4QS statistics paint the picture of a player who consistently performs at a high level, winning 313 of his 376 recorded matches for an outstanding 83.2% win rate. His overall match average sits just below 80, while a Q4QS average of 80.78 underlines the consistency that has made him one of the area's most respected competitors.

Brown has already collected 25 tournament titles during the period covered by the database, alongside a further three runner-up finishes and numerous deep runs. His recent form has been particularly eye-catching, arriving into this week on a 10-match winning streak, while averaging over 92 across his last ten recorded matches.

What perhaps stands out most is the calibre of opposition he has defeated. Victories over players such as Derek Coulson, Nathan Potter, Adam Gawlas and Henry Coates demonstrate that Brown is equally capable of producing on the PDC Development and Challenge Tours as he is on the local circuit.


This Week

If there was one player who demanded a place in this week's spotlight, it was Ashton Brown.

His headline achievement came at the Sartan Club £300 Summer Open, where he produced a superb unbeaten run to lift the title. Brown defeated Gary Greenslade, Connor Davies, Zach Quinn and twice overcame John Brown on his way to the trophy, producing a string of outstanding performances throughout the day.

The numbers alone tell an impressive story. Brown fired in averages of 107.36, 100.77, 95.94 and 95.43, before completing the job with an 86.82 average in the final. Few players anywhere in the Q4QS network enjoyed a more consistently high-scoring day.

As if lifting one of the week's biggest titles wasn't enough, Brown also added another memorable moment by producing a nine-dart leg during the week—an achievement that every darts player dreams of and one that underlined just how high his level has been.

Taken together, it was a week that showcased everything Ashton Brown is capable of: scoring power, consistency, tournament-winning mentality and moments of genuine brilliance.


Spencer Edwards

Player Profile

Few players are as active on the Welsh circuit as Spencer Edwards, and few are rewarded for that commitment as regularly. Across 684 recorded matches, Edwards has compiled 532 victories, giving him a superb 77.8% win rate while collecting 23 tournament titles, 21 runner-up finishes and 33 semi-final appearances.

His best average of 103.66 proves he possesses the ability to produce exceptional darts, but perhaps his greatest strength is consistency. Week after week Edwards puts himself into contention, regularly appearing in the latter stages of events through a combination of steady scoring and experience.

His recent form suggests he is enjoying one of his strongest spells of the season, having won nine of his last ten matches while steadily increasing his scoring levels over recent weeks.


This Week

While others may have grabbed the biggest headlines, Spencer Edwards produced the sort of week that every player strives for—one built on consistency.

Rather than relying on one standout evening, Edwards kept appearing deep into tournaments throughout the week. He reached the latter stages of the Clwb Emrys Circuit at The Baden Porth, defeating Craig Davies and Owen Alford before eventually falling just short of another final.

He then went one better on Saturday at Emrys Darts, producing another impressive run that included victories over Riley Sadd, George Humphreys, Harrison Graves and Owen Chant before defeating Josh Williams 3–0 in the final with a 77.74 average.

Across the week Edwards once again demonstrated why he remains such a dangerous opponent. He didn't just win one event—he repeatedly placed himself in contention, finishing the week with another title and reinforcing his reputation as one of the Welsh circuit's most reliable performers.

For players chasing long-term success, consistency is every bit as valuable as spectacular averages, and Spencer Edwards delivered exactly that throughout the week.

Dan Nicholls

Player Profile

Dan Nicholls has established himself as one of the most formidable players on the Black Country circuit, and his statistics underline exactly why. Across 383 recorded matches, Nicholls has won an incredible 357, giving him a remarkable 93.2% win rate. Add in 38 tournament victories from just 55 events and it's clear he has developed a habit of turning strong performances into silverware.

His scoring power is equally impressive. An overall average of 83.32, a best recorded average of 120.24, and recent averages of 90.70 across his last five matches and 85.77 across his last ten show a player operating at an exceptionally high level.

Nicholls has also proved himself against quality opposition. Wins over Lewis Cook, Neil Wild, Harrison Leigh and Ashley Coleman demonstrate he is more than capable of competing with some of the strongest players in the Q4QS database, while his current 10-match winning streak reflects the confidence he is carrying into every tournament.


This Week

Dan Nicholls produced one of the most dominant individual days of the week, collecting two tournament titles at Bostin Darts and showing exactly why he remains one of the area's most feared competitors.

He began by winning the 301 DIDO Round Robin, defeating Shaun Hercules 3–0 in the final after another commanding display. Along the way he recorded the day's five highest averages, peaking at 79.68 in the final while also finishing with eight match victories.

If that wasn't enough, Nicholls immediately followed it by claiming the Bostin Darts Champion of Champions title. His route to the trophy included victories over Kyle "Baggies" Edwards, Jack O'Donnell, Phill Jones, Grant Jackson and Shaun Betts before defeating Grant Jackson again in the final. During that run he produced averages of 107.36, 100.20, 92.02 and 88.41, underlining the quality of his scoring throughout the day.

Winning one tournament is always an achievement. Winning two titles in the same day, while producing ton-plus averages and extending an already impressive winning streak, made Dan Nicholls one of the easiest selections for this week's Q4QS Weekly Spotlight.

Yesterday's Darts Results South and South West – 1 August 2026

 


Another busy Saturday on the grassroots darts circuit saw 30 tournaments added to the Q4QS database, with quality action spread across the Midlands, Wales and Southern England. From major weekend opens to Vault events and local competitions, there was plenty to catch the eye.

The headline performance came from Ashton Brown, who lifted the Sartan Club £300 Summer Open after defeating John Brown 5–3 in the final. Brown was outstanding throughout the day, producing a superb 107.36 average and several of the tournament's best displays.

Over in Shrewsbury, Paul Rowley enjoyed an excellent day at Vault 18.0 – Inn On The Green, defeating Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final. Rowley also fired a 107.36 average, underlining the quality of his victory.

At the Bostin Darts Champion of Champions, Dan Nicholls continued his impressive form by edging Grant Jackson 3–2 in the final. Nicholls produced another 107.36 average during the event and was once again among the standout performers of the day.

Wales also produced an excellent standard, with Edward Manley overcoming Timothy Jones 3–2 in the final at Vault 18.0 – The 9 Darter, Port Talbot. Jones fired the highest genuine competitive average of the day at 111.33, while Manley answered with a superb 103.66 average on his way to the title.

At Hangar 61's Saturday Night Round Robin, Matt Baynham defeated Cameron Oram 3–1 in the final after an excellent evening's work. Baynham recorded the event's highest average of 79.11 and shared the most wins on the night with seven, making him a worthy addition to the day's standout performers.

Elsewhere, Richard Smith claimed victory at the Deers Leap Open, while Jay Woodhouse lifted the Wych Elm Vault title with a convincing 3–0 final victory. Stewart Wilde also came through a high-quality Cue Corner Grandslam, defeating Shaun Vernall in a closely contested final.

With August now underway, the race for places in the Q4QS rankings continues to gather momentum, and another busy programme of events promises plenty more movement over the coming weeks.
