Friday night delivered another packed programme of ADC Vault action across the South West, with several familiar names continuing their excellent recent form. From Dorchester and Gloucester to Evesham, Taunton and Bristol, there were plenty of impressive performances as players battled for valuable Vault ranking points.
Henry Cooper Produces Performance of the Night
Henry Cooper stole the headlines with another outstanding display at the Dorchester Trinity Club.
Cooper lifted the Vault 18 title after defeating Alfie Yarrow 3-0 in the final, but it was his scoring throughout the evening that really caught the eye. He produced a superb 103.66 average, followed by further performances of 98.22, 96.46 and 93.94, underlining just how dominant he was on his way to the title.
Few players in the South West are producing more consistent darts at the moment.
Shaun Vernall Wins Another Gloucester Title
It has been another excellent week for Shaun Vernall.
Fresh from winning at Stonehouse earlier in the week, Vernall added another title by defeating Joe Bagguley 3-2 in a high-quality final at Saintbridge Sports Club.
The final brought together two of the region's most in-form players, and Vernall once again showed why he has become one of the names to beat on the local circuit. He also recorded a superb 100.20 average during the evening.
Joe Bagguley deserves plenty of credit after another excellent run to the final.
Darrel Williams Triumphs In Evesham
Another strong field assembled at The Bengeworth Club.

Williams produced one of the best performances of the night with a 101.17 average, while Pete Hughes continued his consistent form with another final appearance. Graham Hall also impressed by reaching the latter stages.
