Yesterday’s Darts Results: Greaves Stars as Sunday Produces 40 Tournaments 23rd August 2026

 

Sunday was one of the busiest days I have added to the Q4QS database recently, with 40 tournaments recorded from 23 August.

From the PDC Women’s Series to JDC VOLTS events around the country, restricted-average competitions and busy local opens, there was a huge amount of darts taking place.

Beau Greaves provided the biggest-name success of the day, while Ben Rowley produced some exceptional numbers, Steve Boundy collected another title and there were plenty of South West and junior stories to follow.

Greaves takes Women’s Series 19

Beau Greaves continued her success on the PDC Women’s Series by winning Event 19, beating Lisa Ashton 5-3 in the final.

Greaves won seven matches during the tournament and produced a 96.97 average in a 4-0 victory, followed later by 96.30 in her 5-1 win over Aileen de Graaf.

Ashton enjoyed an excellent run herself, winning six matches and recording 90.54, while Fallon Sherrock reached 93.94 and de Graaf 93.22.

Rowley hits huge numbers

One of Sunday's most eye-catching grassroots performances came from Ben Rowley at the Gap Week MIMO at Phoenix Darts Club.

Rowley won the competition with a 3-0 victory over Charlie Hymers in the final – and his numbers during the tournament were outstanding.

He produced recorded averages of 109.98, 104.86 and 100.20, with the 104.86 coming in the final itself.

Whatever the level or format, three separate ton-plus performances in the same event certainly stand out.

Boundy adds another title

Steve Boundy has featured regularly in these roundups recently and he was back among the winners on Sunday.

Boundy won the CUFC Open, defeating Andy Darbon 3-0 in the final after a tournament in which 75 matches were recorded.

His best performance was a 93.94 average, while he accumulated eight victories during the event. Darbon reached the final after seven wins.

Scott Mc wins at Wiltshire Darts House

There was another competitive Sunday Open at Wiltshire Darts House, with Scott Mc eventually taking the title.

Scott defeated Danny Humphries 5-3 in the final after recording nine victories across the competition.

Humphries may have finished runner-up but produced one of the day's strongest conventional averages with 103.66, while Scott reached 93.94 and Johnny Haines 91.09.

Richardson comes through high-quality Earls Barton event

The Silver Band pre-Vault round robin also produced some impressive numbers.

James Richardson beat Josh Richardson 3-2 in the final after both players reached a 100.20 average during the competition.

James added a 98.02 performance and collected ten victories, while Josh won nine matches and also recorded 99.40 and 92.02.

That looks like one of the strongest local events of Sunday's schedule.

South West JDC successes

There was a huge programme of JDC VOLTS action and several events across the South West.

At The Kings Pub in Exeter, Joseph Lauridsen defeated Quin Dymond 3-1 in the final. Both players finished with six victories, while George Miller produced the event's highest recorded average of 83.50.

At The Banckers Draught in Minehead, Charlie Mossman enjoyed an excellent day, beating Luhandré Laage in the final. Mossman won nine matches and recorded an 88.41 along the way.

There were JDC winners elsewhere too, including Arjun Sharma, Zach Langley, Jay Cottier, Ryan-Rai Rushton, Riley Pinhorne, Charlie Wills, James Prettyjohn, Rhys Evans and Riley Herbert across another extremely busy day for the junior circuit.

King takes the Portishead Under-55

The restricted-average competitions continue to provide some of the most competitive grassroots tournaments.

At Portishead Workmens Darts, Ryan King won the Under-55 Sunday Lunch, defeating Archie O'Driscoll 3-2 in the final.

King, O'Driscoll and Kristian Postlethwaite each recorded six victories during the tournament, with Joshua Geal producing its highest recorded average of 62.02.

More Sunday winners

There were plenty more performances worth noting.

Cody Kibble won the DARTMANN Under-70 tournament at Matson Rugby Club, beating Paul Meyer in the final.

Liam Hughes took the Champs Vault Break Week 1 competition despite Lee Evans producing an excellent 102.48 average during the event.

Kirk Bain collected ten victories on his way to the Isle of Wight Grand Prix 2 title, while Liam Hawthorne won the Under-65 round robin at Bostin Darts 180 Bar and Jack Wright took the Vault Break competition at Rushden Windmill Club.

Another reminder of the depth of grassroots darts

Forty tournaments in a single day tells its own story.

Alongside a major PDC Women's Series event were JDC competitions, regional ADC events, local opens, average-restricted tournaments and money-in-money-out competitions.

That's exactly what I want these daily Q4QS roundups to capture: not simply the biggest names, but the depth of competitive darts taking place every day.

And on a Sunday featuring Greaves, Ashton and Richardson alongside dozens of local winners and emerging juniors, there was plenty worth recording.

MODUS Super Series Week 4 Preview: Experience, Form and Familiar Faces Collide

 

The MODUS Super Series returns for Week 4, and the latest field brings together some of the most recognisable names on the non-Tour Card circuit alongside players arriving with excellent recent form.

One of the great strengths of the Super Series is the variety of routes players take to reach Portsmouth. Former major champions, ex-PDC professionals, Challenge Tour regulars and players progressing through the grassroots game can suddenly find themselves competing on the same stage.

Week 4 looks a particularly good example.

Steve Beaton and John Henderson need little introduction, while Ted Evetts, Matthew Dennant, Paul Hogan and James Richardson all have substantial experience behind them. There are also potentially dangerous players further through the field, including Adam Hunt, Colin Osborne and Danny van Trijp.

And while reputation inevitably attracts attention, the Q4QS database suggests that some of the players arriving in the best form aren't necessarily the biggest names.

Can Beaton Roll Back the Years?

There will inevitably be plenty of attention on Steve Beaton.

The former Lakeside World Champion's career spans generations, and his appearance in the MODUS Super Series gives Week 4 another fascinating storyline.

The recent Q4QS data shows that Beaton can still produce the level required to trouble strong opposition.

His best Challenge Tour run in the database came at Event 3, where he reached the quarter-finals with an 86.33 event average, while his notable performances include an 89.81 in victory over Daniel Klose.

His more recent results have been mixed – he's 6-4 across his last ten recorded matches – but the quality remains.

And the Super Series environment can be very different from a huge Challenge Tour floor. With repeated matches, a settled board and opportunities to build momentum across the week, it will be fascinating to see what Beaton produces.

Henderson Has Been Going Deep on the Challenge Tour

John Henderson arrives with considerably stronger recent results.

The Scot is 8-2 across his last ten recorded matches, and there is an impressive consistency to his recent Challenge Tour record.

He reached the last 32 of Event 16 before producing consecutive quarter-final appearances at Events 17 and 18. His Event 17 run came with an 87.24 tournament average, including performances of 94.42 and 93.94.

That is particularly relevant here.

Henderson isn't simply a famous name from the past entering the Super Series. The recent evidence says he's still winning matches against strong opposition.

If he brings that Challenge Tour level to Portsmouth, he should be extremely competitive.

Dennant Arrives in Outstanding Form

One of the strongest statistical profiles in the entire Week 4 field belongs to Matthew Dennant.

Dennant is 9-1 across his last ten recorded matches, but even that doesn't fully describe his recent run.

His last five events in the Q4QS database include four tournament victories.

He won twice at The Beacon Way in Walsall, added another title at Tipton Sports Academy and then won at The Beacon Way again before reaching the last 64 of the UKDA National Finals.

His Tipton victory was particularly impressive: an unbeaten 8-0 tournament with an 89.62 event average.

The database also has a best recorded performance of 120.24 for Dennant.

This is exactly the sort of player the Super Series can reward. Dennant may not carry the mainstream recognition of Beaton or Henderson, but anyone following the wider darts circuit will know how dangerous he can be.

On current form, he has to be considered one of the major contenders.

Hogan Just Keeps Winning

Then there is Paul Hogan.

If recent winning form is the criterion, it is difficult to make a stronger case for anyone.

Hogan is 10-0 across his last ten matches in the database.

More significantly, his last five recorded tournaments contain four victories and a semi-final.

He has won at The Academy in Basingstoke twice, The Wolversdene Club in Andover and Burghfield Community Sports Association, with his Andover success coming via an 87.02 event average.

Hogan's longevity sometimes disguises just how competitive he remains.

He isn't appearing in Week 4 simply because of what he has achieved previously. He's arriving while winning tournament after tournament.

That makes him one of my strongest picks for the week.

Evetts Looking to Convert Scoring Into a Run

Ted Evetts brings another combination of experience and recent success.

The former PDC Tour Card holder and World Youth Champion has been active on the Challenge Tour, but one of his standout recent performances came in Vault 18.

Evetts went 8-0 at The Crow Pie in Rugby, winning the tournament with an excellent 92.50 average.

That run included a 100.20 performance against Harvey Lucas-Carter and a 95.42 against Jacob Crinigan.

His subsequent Challenge Tour results haven't produced the same sustained run, although his tournament averages of 90.20 at Event 16 and 91.08 at Event 20 demonstrate that his scoring remains strong.

If Evetts converts that scoring into results, he could quickly become one of the week's leading players.

Richardson Quietly Building an Excellent Record

My final selection is James Richardson, whose recent numbers are difficult to overlook.

Richardson is 9-1 across his last ten recorded matches and has been accumulating titles.

His recent sequence includes victories at Earls Barton Silver Band Club and two different Vault events at Windmill Club in Rushden, including an unbeaten 7-0 performance with an 82.92 tournament average.

There's a 94.48 individual performance among the recent data as well.

Like Hogan, Richardson has vast experience, but his selection isn't based on reputation.

He's here because he's currently winning.

🎯 Q4QS Six to Follow

1. Steve Beaton
The former world champion still possesses the scoring level to trouble anyone, with a 98.88 best recorded average in the Q4QS data.

2. John Henderson
Back-to-back Challenge Tour quarter-finals and an 8-2 recent record make Henderson one of the strongest form players among the established names.

3. Matthew Dennant
Four wins from his last five recorded events, 9-1 in his last ten and a huge scoring ceiling make Dennant a serious contender.

4. Paul Hogan
A perfect 10-0 across his last ten and four tournament wins from his last five appearances – Hogan arrives in exceptional form.

5. Ted Evetts
An unbeaten Vault victory with a 92.50 tournament average shows just how dangerous Evetts can be when everything clicks.

6. James Richardson
Nine wins from his last ten recorded matches and multiple recent titles make Richardson another player whose current form demands attention.

Beyond the Six

There are plenty of reasons not to restrict the conversation to those six.

Adam Hunt has a Q4QS overall average of 85.88 and has demonstrated a very high ceiling, including a 103.73 performance against Matthew Dennant at Q School.

Former Players Championship winner Colin Osborne adds another hugely experienced name. His recent results have been inconsistent, but he reached the last 64 of Challenge Tour 20 and produced an 84.69 during that event.

Dutchman Jurgen Nuijten is 7-3 across his last ten recorded matches, while Danny van Trijp is another player with experience of competing at a high level.

That's what makes this field so interesting. There are players with huge amounts of stage experience, others currently dominating grassroots tournaments and several capable of producing averages well into the 90s and beyond.

A Week Where Reputation Might Not Be Enough

It's tempting to look at Week 4 and immediately focus on Beaton and Henderson.

They are the two names most casual darts followers are likely to recognise.

But the data tells a more interesting story.

Hogan is 10-0.

Dennant is 9-1 and has won four of his last five recorded tournaments.

Richardson is 9-1.

Henderson is 8-2 and has recently made consecutive Challenge Tour quarter-finals.

Evetts has produced a 92.50 tournament-winning average.

That creates exactly the sort of field I enjoy watching in the MODUS Super Series.

We know what some of these players have achieved.

Week 4 is about discovering what they can do now.

And with experience, current form and some serious scoring power colliding in Portsmouth, there should be plenty to follow throughout the week.
