Yesterday's Darts Results South and South West 8th August 2026: Bevan Hits 115.62, Quiney Takes Memorial Title and Hayter Wins at Bradmoor Farm

 

Saturday delivered one of the strongest days of grassroots darts we've seen in the Q4QS results for some time, with 29 tournaments added to the database and some exceptional numbers produced across the country.

There were three separate 111.33 averages, another above 107, plenty of ton-plus darts – and one performance which went even further.

Llew Bevan produces a huge 115.62

The standout number of the entire day belonged to Llew Bevan at the Terry Griffiths Matchroom in Llanelli.

Bevan produced a remarkable 115.62 average in a 2–0 victory over Finlay Andrews, but this wasn't simply one spectacular match.

He also recorded averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 91.09 during an excellent tournament before beating Justin Hughes 3–0 in the final.

Bevan finished with eight wins, while Hughes collected six and Morgan Thomas, Oscar Bourne and Scott Blair each won five.

A 115.62 will inevitably grab the headlines, but the consistency around it made Bevan's overall tournament particularly impressive.

Quiney takes the Doc Neale Memorial

Closer to the usual Q4QS heartland, Joe Quiney enjoyed an excellent day at The 2nd Annual Doc Neale Memorial at Wotton Hall Social Club.

Quiney defeated Harry Williams 6–3 in the final, completing a six-win tournament.

There was plenty of quality behind the victory as well. Quiney recorded a 90.45 against Josh Lewis, an 89.61 against Chris Hartrey and another 87.56 against Kieran Smith.

Hartrey actually produced the tournament's highest individual average with 93.94, while Williams reached the final after a run which included an 87.91 against Shaun Vernall.

It was a strong field and an impressive title for Quiney.

Gemma Hayter wins WADC Event 5

There was plenty of interest at Bradmoor Farm as the latest WADC Winmau Championship South action got underway.

Gemma Hayter emerged victorious from Event 5, edging Vicky Pruim 5–4 in the final.

Hayter also produced the highest average of the event, an excellent 95.43, while Fallon Sherrock wasn't far behind with 93.77.

Pruim's route to the final included an impressive 5–1 victory over Sherrock, but it was Hayter who ultimately claimed the title after six wins during the competition.

Huge numbers from Haines and Rowley

Llew Bevan wasn't alone in producing some extraordinary numbers on Saturday.

Johnny Haines recorded a 111.33 average at Burghfield Community Sports Association – and went on to win the tournament.

Haines beat Steven Jenkinson 3–0 in the final, averaging 95.94, and also produced three separate 93.94 performances during an outstanding seven-win campaign.

Remarkably, Paul Rowley also averaged exactly 111.33 at Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury.

Rowley went on to defeat Matt Elsey 3–2 in the final and finished with eight victories. Elsey himself enjoyed an excellent competition, winning seven matches and producing a 93.76.

Arun Grewal comes through a marathon event

One of the busiest competitions in Saturday's data was the Saturday Night Money In Money Out KO, with 169 matches recorded.

Arun Grewal eventually emerged victorious, defeating Jack Divall 4–3 in the final and collecting nine wins across the tournament.

Grewal also produced a 91.09 average during his run.

Daryl Hunt recorded the tournament's highest average at 100.20, while Bobby Vickors reached 93.94. Dave Fisher accumulated eight victories, with Mason Dower, Teddy Penston and finalist Divall all winning seven.

Coleman takes ADC Championship South Event 10

There was a huge amount of action at Bradmoor Farm in the men's ADC Winmau Championship South Event 10, with 207 matches recorded.

Ashley Coleman came through the field to beat Harry Lane 5–1 in the final, completing an eight-win tournament.

One of Saturday's other monster averages came from Chas Barstow, who hit 111.33, while Jack Drayton produced 103.66. Darren Brown reached 98.25, Adam Beck 98.09 and Jamie Kay 97.24.

Coleman ultimately took the title, but the depth of scoring showed just how competitive the tournament was.

A Saturday packed with big performances

Saturday's results underline why tracking the grassroots game in detail can uncover performances that might otherwise pass almost unnoticed.

The day's top five recorded averages alone were extraordinary:

Llew Bevan – 115.62
Chas Barstow – 111.33
Johnny Haines – 111.33
Paul Rowley – 111.33
Dan Baker – 107.36

And even that doesn't include the 103.66 from Jack Drayton or three further 100.20 performances recorded during the day.

For Q4QS, though, there was plenty beyond the numbers: Quiney's Doc Neale Memorial victory, Hayter taking WADC Event 5, Coleman winning a huge ADC field and Grewal battling through nine victories.

29 more tournaments are now in the Q4QS database – and Saturday provided some outstanding additions.

Women's World Matchplay Preview: Can Anyone Stop Beau Greaves?

The Women's World Matchplay returns this weekend, bringing together eight of the finest players in the women's game for one of the most prestigious titles on the calendar.

While the field may be small, the quality certainly isn't.

World-class champions, former winners, established stars and in-form challengers all arrive with genuine hopes of lifting the trophy, but once again one player enters as the woman everyone else must beat.

Beau Greaves Leads the Way

It is impossible to look beyond Beau Greaves as the tournament favourite.

Her recent form has been exceptional.

Across the last ten matches in the Q4QS database she boasts a perfect 10-0 record, while she arrives after winning two consecutive PDC Women's Series titles before finishing runner-up in another event. She also produced event averages approaching 88 and 89 during that run, highlighting the level she is capable of producing.

Interestingly, her most recent appearance came against the men on the Players Championship circuit, where she lost to Owen Bates despite averaging over 90.

That defeat is unlikely to dent her confidence.

If anything, it demonstrates her willingness to test herself against the very best opposition.

Lisa Ashton Has Already Shown It Can Be Done

If anyone has proved Beau Greaves can be beaten recently, it's Lisa Ashton.

The four-time Lakeside Champion claimed victory at PDC Women's Series Event 15, defeating Greaves 5-1 in the final and averaging over 81 throughout the tournament. It was one of the standout performances of the season and serves as a reminder that Ashton remains one of the toughest competitors in women's darts.

She followed that up with another deep run by reaching the semi-finals of the UKDA National Finals, showing her consistency remains intact.

Fallon Sherrock Chasing Another Major Run

No preview would be complete without Fallon Sherrock.

Although she hasn't added another major title recently, Sherrock continues to reach the latter stages of big events.

A semi-final in Women's Series Event 15 and a quarter-final in Event 16 underline that she is never far away from another big weekend.

Few players possess more experience on television than "The Queen of the Palace", and that experience could prove invaluable.

Plenty of Form Players Arrive

One of the fascinating aspects of this year's event is just how many competitors arrive after lifting trophies.

Gemma Hayter heads to the Winter Gardens fresh from victory in the WDF World Masters, continuing what has been an excellent season.

Vicky Pruim arrives as the reigning UKDA National Finals champion and has built strong momentum over recent weeks.

Veteran star Deta Hedman also comes into the tournament after another title-winning campaign, proving once again that experience remains a huge asset.

Kirsi Viinikainen and Rhian O'Sullivan complete a field packed with recent winners, ensuring there will be no easy opening matches.

Five Players to Watch

Beau Greaves

Still the benchmark in women's darts. Two recent Women's Series titles, unbeaten in her last ten matches and producing some of the highest averages in the game.

Lisa Ashton

The player who recently defeated Greaves in a Women's Series final. If she reproduces that standard, another major title is well within reach.

Fallon Sherrock

One of the biggest names in women's darts. Television experience and proven ability to deliver on the big stage make her a dangerous opponent for anyone.

Gemma Hayter

The reigning WDF World Masters champion continues to build momentum and has quietly become one of the most consistent performers in the women's game.

Vicky Pruim

Fresh from lifting the UKDA National Finals title, Pruim arrives full of confidence and could be one of the dark horses this weekend.

Can Anyone Stop Greaves?

Every major tournament needs a storyline, and this one is obvious.

Can anyone prevent Beau Greaves from adding another major televised title to her growing collection?

Lisa Ashton has already shown it is possible.

Fallon Sherrock remains one of the most dangerous players on a televised stage.

Gemma Hayter, Vicky Pruim and Deta Hedman all arrive with recent silverware of their own.

With so many players bringing title-winning form into Blackpool, the Women's World Matchplay promises to be one of the most competitive editions yet. 

Women's Series Weekend Review: Greaves Dominates, Cairns Breaks Through

 

The final Women's Series weekend before the Women's World Matchplay delivered plenty of drama, with four events taking place and several players strengthening their claims ahead of Blackpool.

Women's Series Event 13

The weekend began with another reminder of Beau Greaves' dominance.

Greaves stormed to the title, defeating Vicky Pruim 5-0 in the final. Pruim's run to the final continued what has been an excellent season for the Dutch star, but Greaves proved too strong on the day.

For Greaves, it was another title added to an already remarkable campaign and further evidence that she remains the player everyone is trying to catch.

Women's Series Event 14

Event 14 produced a different finalist but the same winner.

This time Greaves defeated Karolina Ratajska 5-1 in the final to secure her second title of the weekend.

Ratajska deserves plenty of credit for reaching the final and continued to show signs that she can compete with the very best players on the Women's Series circuit.

However, once again Greaves was simply too strong when it mattered most.

Women's Series Event 15

Lisa Ashton reminded everyone exactly why she remains one of the biggest names in women's darts.

After reaching the final, Ashton produced one of the performances of the weekend to defeat Beau Greaves 5-1 and deny her a clean sweep of titles.

It was a huge statement from the four-time Lakeside champion and showed she remains a genuine contender for any major title.

For Greaves, it was her first final defeat of the weekend, but another deep run added valuable prize money to her tally.

Women's Series Event 16

The final event of the weekend produced the biggest story.

Eleanor Cairns captured her first Women's Series title after defeating Angela Kirkwood 5-4 in a thrilling final.

Both players enjoyed outstanding runs to reach the final, and the match could hardly have been closer.

Cairns' victory was one of the breakthrough moments of the season, while Kirkwood's run to the final showed she is becoming an increasingly dangerous competitor on the Women's Series circuit.

Vicky Pruim also impressed once again, reaching the semi-finals to cap off another excellent weekend.

Who Can Follow Beau Greaves to the Very Top?

 For years, darts fans have wondered when a woman would genuinely challenge the men on the PDC stage. We’ve seen flashes of brilliance from Fallon Sherrock and her history-making Ally Pally wins, Lisa Ashton’s brave runs on the Pro Tour, and Mikuru Suzuki’s impressive averages on the Women’s Series. Each showed glimpses that it could happen, but so far, none have made that final step into the upper tiers of the professional game.

Enter Beau Greaves.
Still only in her early twenties, she’s already a dominant force on the Women’s Series and has proven she can mix it with the men. Her smooth throw, natural rhythm, and icy composure under pressure have made her one of the most gifted players, male or female, to emerge in recent years. With more regular PDC appearances likely in 2025, there’s a real sense that Beau could push the boundaries further than anyone before her.

But who else might follow?

One name to watch is Gemma Hayter. She’s been steadily improving, putting in strong performances across regional events and the Women’s Series. While not quite at Greaves’ level yet, she’s not too far off and it will be fascinating to see how she performs at Q School in January. She has the temperament, the will, and the game to cause some upsets. Ireland's Rebecca Allen is one for the future and will be interesting if she tries her hand on the Women's Series soon. She is arguably the best under 18 year old female player in the world. 

In the men’s game, the next generation is already queuing up. Players like Luke Littler, Josh Rock, Gian van Veen, and Wessel Nijman, have shown that age is no barrier to competing at elite level. Their rapid rise demonstrates what can happen when young players get the exposure, support, and competitive opportunities they need.

That’s perhaps where the women’s game still has work to do.
The Women’s Series streaming boards have added some much-needed visibility — but it’s still limited. Imagine if there were regular tournament highlights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes content showcasing the personalities and rivalries developing on the circuit. More visibility means more role models — and that’s what will ultimately encourage more young women to pick up the darts and believe they can make it.

Beau Greaves has shown the path.
Now the question is: who’s next to follow her?
