Yesterday's Darts Results: Carl Batchelor Hits 118.66, Johnny Haines Records 117.08 and Ashton Brown Wins in Bristol – 21 October 2026

Wednesday brought another 93 tournaments into the Q4QS Database, and once again there were some outstanding performances across the country.

Carl Batchelor produced the highest average of the day with 118.66, while Johnny Haines wasn't far behind with 117.08.

Closer to home, Ashton Brown won at the Sartan Club in Bristol, Danny Lauby took the title at Bengeworth Club in Evesham, and Jamie Kay won in Bodmin.

There were also victories for Kieran Smith in Stonehouse, Darren Herbert in Chard and Danny Humphries in Salisbury.

There were nine WADC competitions and another busy evening of junior darts, including a particularly impressive performance from Joshua Russell.

Carl Batchelor produces a remarkable 118.66 in the final

At the Pioneer Bar in Stoke, Carl Batchelor produced what was, for me, one of the most impressive performances of Wednesday's results.

Batchelor defeated Matt Carr 3–0 in the final, averaging an extraordinary 118.66 in the deciding match.

Carr himself averaged 97.50, which makes Batchelor's performance even more impressive.

Batchelor finished with eight victories and also recorded 90.18 against Riley Emery.

There's always something particularly impressive about producing your best darts in a final. It's one thing to throw a huge average during a group match, but quite another to do it when the title is on the line.

And 118.66 is an exceptional average at any level.

Johnny Haines produces four three-figure averages in Didcot

If Batchelor produced the best individual performance, Johnny Haines probably deserves the award for the most consistently impressive scoring of the evening.

At GWRSA Club in Didcot, Haines won eight matches and defeated Jayden Jones 3–1 in the final.

His leading averages were remarkable:

• 117.08 against Roger Crook
• 111.33 against James Sanders
• 107.36 against Simon Ward
• 100.76 in the final against Jayden Jones

That's four averages above 100 in one tournament.

Roger Crook also contributed an excellent 102.87 in his match against Haines.

For me, this is exactly the sort of performance that deserves recognition. One exceptional average can happen in a short match, but producing four three-figure averages across an evening suggests something considerably more substantial.

Haines had also produced some excellent darts on Tuesday, so he's certainly a player worth watching for current form.

Ashton Brown wins at the Sartan Club in Bristol

At the Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, Ashton Brown defeated Adrian Wood 3–0 in the final.

Brown's standout performance was a 104.86 average in the final, the highest recorded at the venue.

He also produced averages of 96.97 against Kyle Matthews and 95.94 against Ellis Radford.

Brown completed eight victories, while Wood finished with six.

It's another good result from one of Bristol's regular grassroots competitions. The Sartan Club continues to provide a strong local competitive environment, and performances like Brown's show the quality that can emerge from these weekly tournaments.

Danny Lauby wins at Bengeworth Club

It was another competitive evening at Bengeworth Club in Evesham, where Danny Lauby defeated Pete Hughes 3–2 in the final.

Lauby finished with seven victories, while Hughes collected six.

Interestingly, the highest average of the evening came from Vince Tipple, who recorded 103.66 against Alfie Gamage.

Jason Reeve also impressed with 93.94 against Lewis Clements, while Lauby recorded 92.02 against Reeve.

Hughes produced 91.09 in his own match against Reeve.

It's been an interesting few days at Bengeworth. Tipple has been producing some excellent performances, Hughes won at Bretforton on Tuesday, and now Lauby has taken the Wednesday title.

That's exactly the sort of sequence of results that makes following players' form across different tournaments worthwhile.

Jamie Kay takes the Bodmin title

At Bodmin Band & Social Club in Cornwall, Jamie Kay defeated James Chudleigh 3–2 in the final.

Kay completed eight victories and produced a particularly consistent series of averages.

His leading performances included 91.09, 88.84, 88.41 and 86.32.

James Wallace also impressed with 91.04, while Leo Strick and Chudleigh each collected six victories.

Kay's performance is a good example of how consistency can be just as important as producing one exceptional average.

Four performances above 86 and eight victories represent an excellent evening's darts.

Kieran Smith wins in Stonehouse

At Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse, Kieran Smith defeated Alex Cantillion 3–1 in the final.

Smith won seven matches and produced the competition's highest average of 90.18 against Andy Hammond.

He also recorded 79.11 and 78.89.

Cameron Oram and Josh Lewis each collected six victories, while Cantillion finished with five.

Another competitive evening at a regular Gloucestershire venue.

Darren Herbert wins in Chard

At the Choughs Hotel in Chard, Darren Herbert defeated Paul Gardiner 3–1 in the final.

Herbert completed eight victories, with Gardiner finishing on seven.

Herbert's highest average was 87.53 in the final, and he also produced 81.98 against Warren Bowditch.

Gardiner recorded 81.24 against Jordan Baker, while Kieran Spurdle contributed 84.41.

It was a particularly good final performance from Herbert, who saved his highest average for the match that mattered most.

Danny Humphries wins in Salisbury

At Stratford Social Club, Danny Humphries defeated Liam Glister 3–2 in the final.

Humphries won six matches, recording averages of 86.71, 85.08 and 84.44 among his leading performances.

Glister produced the highest average of the competition, 88.41 against Joe Blundell.

Ben Small and Glister each collected five victories.

This was another good example of a player combining consistent scoring with enough match wins to take the title.

Junior darts: Joshua Russell hits 107.36

Wednesday's junior results included some particularly impressive performances.

At the Junior Volts event at Pilcs Sports & Social Club in Pontypool, Joshua Russell recorded a remarkable 107.36 average against Ethan Smith.

Russell also produced 89.73, 88.41 and 84.76 during the competition.

The tournament was won by Archie Bourne, who defeated Evan Haines 3–0 in the final and completed seven victories.

Russell's 107.36 was one of the ten highest individual averages across Wednesday's entire report, not simply among the junior events.

That's a performance well worth highlighting.

Elsewhere, Harvey Stringer won at the Bull Room in Stowmarket, defeating Remy Stapleton 3–2. Stringer finished with nine victories and recorded averages of 88.41, 83.50 and 79.11.

Hayden Dunlavey won at Bostin Darts 180 Bar in Blackheath, defeating George Hobbs 3–1, while Liam Taylor recorded the highest average there at 91.09.

At the Kings Pub in Exeter, Oliver Hutchings defeated Lewis Woods 3–1, completing six victories.

And at the National Junior Darts Association Elite event, Harry Childs produced a 98.02 average and finished with eight victories.

It's encouraging to see so many junior competitions taking place regularly, particularly when youngsters are producing averages that compare favourably with those recorded in senior events.

WADC: Nine competitions across Wednesday

There were nine WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Wednesday's results.

The highest recorded WADC average came from Anna Pearce at MK Cocktail Lounge & Sports Bar in Bodmin.

Pearce produced 73.92 against Tracey Hancock, along with 66.80 against Claire Canham.

However, it was Courtney Hancock who took the title, defeating Pearce 3–2 in the final.

At BRWCA in Hampshire, Milly Milligan defeated Pennie Lewis 3–2, although Lewis recorded the competition's highest average of 73.32.

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Kelsey Haigh defeated Natalie Baxter 3–2, while Elsie-Mai Tarrant produced the event's best average of 62.63.

Wednesday's WADC winners were:

Winner	Venue	Final
Grace Holman	Arrows, Resolven	Beat Kayliegh Webster 3–2
Milly Milligan	BRWCA, Hampshire	Beat Pennie Lewis 3–2
Geraldine Fielding	Beechwood Club, Blackburn	Beat Celia Allen 3–2
Nicky Denham	Bradmoor Farm, Aylesbury	Beat Cerys Skyrme-Davies 3–1
Jackie Nicholl	Challow British Legion	Beat Hannah Eynstone 3–0
Courtney Hancock	MK Lounge, Bodmin	Beat Anna Pearce 3–2
Kelsey Haigh	Stratford Social Club, Salisbury	Beat Natalie Baxter 3–2
Juliet Findley	Men of March	Beat Millie Jolley 3–1
Sonia Lewis	Monty Club, Newtown	Beat Louise Davies 3–2

It's good to see nine WADC events contributing to the daily results, particularly with competitions in Cornwall, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Wales among them.

These results deserve to be included alongside the open events, and the regular competition is helping build a much clearer picture of women's grassroots darts performances.

Other Wednesday winners worth mentioning

There were plenty of other performances worth highlighting beyond the featured tournaments.

At the Sandpiper in Christchurch, Ricky King defeated Jayden Walker 3–2 in the final. King recorded averages of 103.66, 102.89 and 100.20, while Walker produced an excellent 113.21 in the final.

At Caerau Athletic in Maesteg, Mike Huntley won eight matches and defeated Chris James 3–0 in the final. Huntley recorded 107.36, while Gavin Sterio produced three separate averages of 100.20.

Kaya Baysal was particularly impressive in the Pendle Super Series, winning nine matches and recording averages of 107.36, 93.94, 88.41 and 85.46 before defeating Michael Pearson in the final.

At Shooters Bar in Leominster, Alec McCready defeated Kane Price 3–1, while Chris Hurds recorded the venue's highest average of 103.66.

And at the Monty Club in Newtown, Martin Thomas defeated Wayne Meredith 3–2, recording averages of 97.14, 95.94 and 93.94.

Another consistent performance from a player who has been producing some very good darts recently.

Wednesday's highest recorded averages

Player	Average	Tournament / venue
Carl Batchelor	118.66	Pioneer Bar, Stoke
Johnny Haines	117.08	GWRSA Club, Didcot
Jayden Walker	113.21	Sandpiper, Christchurch
George Cressey	111.33	6 and 1 Club, Tonbridge
Addison Hefferon	111.33	Sports Bar & Lounge, Milton Keynes
Jake B-Smith	111.33	Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury
Joshua Russell	107.36	Junior Volts, Pontypool
Kaya Baysal	107.36	Pendle Super Series
Mike Huntley	107.36	Caerau Athletic, Maesteg
Brett Claydon	107.36	Men of March

These are individual match averages, not tournament-wide averages. Johnny Haines also recorded another 111.33 during his evening in Didcot.

What stands out is the number of different venues represented. These weren't exceptional averages concentrated in one tournament; they were being produced across the country.

My five standout performances

1. Johnny Haines – Four averages above 100, including 117.08, and eight victories in Didcot.
2. Carl Batchelor – A remarkable 118.66 average in the final at Stoke.
3. Ashton Brown – Eight victories at the Sartan Club, including a 104.86 average in the final and further averages of 96.97 and 95.94.
4. Kaya Baysal – Nine victories in the Pendle Super Series, including a 107.36 average.
5. Joshua Russell – A 107.36 average in the Junior Volts competition at Pontypool.

Special mentions go to Ricky King, Jayden Walker, Martin Thomas, Danny Lauby and Jamie Kay.

Another 93 tournaments added to Q4QS

Wednesday was another reminder of just how much competitive darts is taking place every week.

There were excellent performances in the South West, Wales and across the rest of the country. The WADC programme continued with nine competitions, while the junior events produced some averages that would stand out in almost any tournament.

For me, the most interesting performance was probably Johnny Haines. Carl Batchelor's 118.66 was the highest average, but four three-figure averages from Haines in one evening is something quite special.

It's also why I'm increasingly interested in looking beyond individual results and following players' form over their last 20 matches, compared with the 20 before that.

A big average is always worth celebrating, but repeated strong performances tell us much more.

Full results, rankings and player statistics are available at Quest For Q School.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Jamie Kay Wins Again, Scott Hill Hits 107.36 and Joshua Russell Shines as 78 Tournaments Are Added

Thursday brought another 78 tournaments into the Q4QS database, with plenty of excellent darts across the country.

There was a particularly interesting story developing in Cornwall, where Jamie Kay collected another title, having already won in Bodmin on Wednesday. This time, he came through a close final against Scott Hill at St Breward AFC & Social Club.

Hill may have lost the final, but his 107.36 average was one of the standout performances of the evening.

Elsewhere, Robbie Long won at Hangar61 in Patchway, Finlay Cleave took the Torquay title, Tommy Sperring won at DartAsylum HQ, George Whyte impressed in Bromley and Joshua Russell produced an outstanding performance in Cardiff.

And it wasn't just the winners who caught my attention. There were several three-figure averages, strong performances from runners-up and four WADC competitions to add to the growing women's darts results.

Jamie Kay continues his winning run in Cornwall

There are some players whose names seem to keep appearing in these results, and Jamie Kay is certainly one of them this week.

After winning at Bodmin Band & Social Club on Wednesday, Kay returned to action at St Breward AFC & Social Club, where he defeated Scott Hill 3–2 in the final.

Kay finished with seven victories and produced a superb 100.20 average against Mason Dower.

However, Scott Hill deserves just as much recognition. His 107.36 against Joshua Meneer was the highest average at the venue, and he followed it with 97.77 against Kieran Gill.

Andrew Cook recorded 96.97 against Laura Kay, while Chris Gill produced 93.94 against Jacob Nurse.

That's five averages above 93 in one competition, with four different players involved.

For me, this was one of the strongest tournaments of Thursday evening, particularly given the quality throughout the field.

And Kay's second title in two days is another developing story worth watching.

Robbie Long takes the Hangar61 title

At Hangar61 in Patchway, Robbie Long defeated Shoey Ayres 3–0 in the final of the Thursday night round robin.

Long collected six victories and recorded a best average of 91.09 against Thomas Goodrich, along with 83.50 against Jamie Harvey.

Interestingly, two other players matched that 91.09 average: Shoey Ayres against Stefan Williams and Martin Harries, also against Williams.

Ayres actually finished with the most victories on the evening, winning eight matches, while Liam Moore and Corey Oates collected six each.

That makes Long's title particularly interesting. He wasn't the player with the most wins across the competition, but he delivered when it mattered.

Finlay Cleave wins a close Torquay final

At Cue Sports Academy in Torquay, Finlay Cleave defeated Jamie Chamberlain 3–2 in the final.

Cleave won six matches and recorded two 75.15 averages, against Jesse Cavanagh and Esteban Richards.

Charlie Sanderson produced the highest average of the event, 81.24 against George Butcher, while Ricky Lait and Chamberlain each recorded five victories.

It was a competitive evening without the enormous averages seen elsewhere, but that's part of what makes grassroots darts interesting.

Not every tournament needs a 100-plus average to produce a worthwhile story.

Tommy Sperring wins at DartAsylum HQ

Tommy Sperring collected seven victories at DartAsylum HQ, defeating Glenn Pearce 3–0 in the final.

Pearce finished with six wins and produced the best average of the competition, 82.26 against Louis Hamblin.

Hamblin recorded 79.60 in the same match, while Jack Wright and Pearce both registered 75.15 averages elsewhere in the event.

Sperring's seven wins made him the most successful player on the night, and he finished the job with a convincing final victory.

George Whyte impresses in Bromley

At Bromley Common Social and Athletic Club, George Whyte defeated Riley James 3–0 in the final.

Whyte recorded eight victories and produced an outstanding 107.36 average against Kiran Patel, followed by 91.09 against Joshua Hogan and 89.82 against James Shulver.

But the highest average of the competition belonged to Tyler Gabriel, who recorded 111.33 against Jay Smith.

Riley James also produced 96.97 against Dan Day and finished with seven victories.

It was another competition where the winner combined a strong run of results with some excellent scoring.

Joshua Russell produces a superb Cardiff performance

At Cardiff County Conservative Club, Joshua Russell defeated Mike Huntley 3–1 in the final.

Russell finished with eight victories and saved his best average for the final itself, producing 104.67 against Huntley.

He also recorded 93.94 against James Lawrence.

Huntley was impressive throughout, with averages of 95.94, 95.93 and 91.19 among his results, finishing with seven victories.

What makes Russell's performance particularly impressive is that the 104.67 came in the match that decided the tournament.

That's a very good way to finish an evening.

More excellent darts around the country

There were several other performances that deserve a mention.

At Brynmawr Social Club, Bryan Flew recorded 107.36 against Dylan Ruck-Havard, although the tournament title went to Marc Hughes, who defeated Aaran Richards 3–1.

At Darfield Conservative Club in Barnsley, both Jack Hill and Tom Outwin hit 107.36 averages, while Carl Wilkinson recorded 100.20 and 96.97. The title went to Josh Ryan, who defeated Steve Wood 3–1.

At Rusthall Club in Tunbridge Wells, Carl Wilson defeated Jack Johnson 3–1 in the final. Johnson produced 107.36 earlier in the evening, but Wilson's averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 96.70 were particularly impressive.

At Pinches Cue Club in Norwich, Darren Brown produced 104.86, 103.66 and 96.97, but James Hubbard took the title after defeating Jack Main 3–2.

At The Wolversdene Club in Andover, Jack Steer defeated David Moule 3–2, despite Moule recording 100.20 earlier in the event.

And at Rushden Windmill Club, James Richardson produced a 100.20 average in his 3–0 final victory over Josh Richardson, completing an eight-win evening.

There's a familiar pattern here. The highest average doesn't always belong to the eventual winner, and that's one of the reasons I like looking at the entire tournament rather than just picking out the biggest numbers.

WADC: Four competitions and four winners

There were four WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments recorded on Thursday, and some particularly good performances among them.

Joanne Oldershaw – Sir John Warren, Ilkeston

Joanne Oldershaw defeated Michelle Adkin 3–1 in the final, recording four victories.

Oldershaw produced the highest average across Thursday's WADC events, 79.03 against Lisa Davie, and also recorded 71.57 and 69.37.

That's an impressive series of averages, and she was my standout WADC performer of the evening.

Kasey Smith – Higher Irlam Social Club

Kasey Smith defeated Danyela Parish-Bolton 3–1 in the final.

Smith produced 59.85 in the deciding match, with both finalists collecting three victories.

Zoe Lane – Bar One, Brynmawr

Zoe Lane defeated Tracey Hickey 2–1 in the final.

Hickey recorded the most victories with four and produced the event's best average of 51.83, but Lane took the title.

Shaunna Hughes – Upper Dovercourt Social Club, Harwich

Shaunna Hughes defeated Kimberley Self 3–1 in the final, winning five matches.

Hughes also recorded the competition's best average, 54.70 against Honie Summerfield.

Four tournaments might not be the busiest WADC evening we've recorded, but there was plenty to recognise, especially Oldershaw's performances in Ilkeston.

Junior Volts: Harrison Doherty impresses in Manchester

There were two JDC Junior Volts events in Thursday's results.

At Higher Irlam Social Club in Manchester, Harrison Doherty defeated James Parr 3–2 in the final.

Doherty won six matches and produced an outstanding 93.94 average against Georgie Gallacher. He also recorded 81.24, 76.33 and 71.57.

That's a strong collection of averages for a junior competition.

At Cogan Coronation in Penarth, Theo Everton defeated Jacob Ingram 3–1 in the final.

Everton recorded six victories, while Ingram finished with five. Dylan Person produced the best average of the competition, 71.57, followed by 65.35.

Doherty's performance in Manchester was particularly impressive, and another reminder of the quality coming through the junior game.

Thursday's standout averages

These are the leading individual match averages recorded in the results.

Player	Average	Venue
Tyler Gabriel	111.33	Bromley Common
Scott Hill	107.36	St Breward
George Whyte	107.36	Bromley Common
Bryan Flew	107.36	Brynmawr
Jack Hill	107.36	Darfield
Tom Outwin	107.36	Darfield
Jack Johnson	107.36	Rusthall
Darren Brown	104.86	Pinches Cue Club
Joshua Russell	104.67	Cardiff County Conservative Club
Andreas Hajimina	103.66	The Glebe, Stevenage

Darren Brown also recorded 103.66 at Norwich, and there were several other averages above 100.

My five standout performances

1. Jamie Kay – A second tournament title in two days, this time at St Breward, with a 100.20 average.
2. Scott Hill – A 107.36 average, a further 97.77 and a place in the St Breward final.
3. Joshua Russell – Eight victories in Cardiff and a 104.67 average in the final.
4. George Whyte – Eight wins, the Bromley title and a 107.36 average.
5. Harrison Doherty – Six wins and an outstanding 93.94 average in the Manchester Junior Volts event.

Special mentions go to Robbie Long, Darren Brown, Carl Wilson, Joanne Oldershaw and Tyler Gabriel.

Another 78 tournaments added to Q4QS

Thursday's results provided another good mixture of grassroots darts.

We've had established players producing excellent averages, local tournament regulars adding more titles, developing junior talent and another four WADC events.

But the most interesting story for me is Jamie Kay.

Two titles in two days, against different opponents, with another three-figure average thrown in.

It's exactly the sort of form that becomes more meaningful as the Q4QS database grows.

I'll continue following these performances, because the bigger picture is often much more interesting than one isolated result.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Josh Sinkovits Hits 120.24, Ashton Brown 115.62 & Jamie Kay Wins – 8 October 2026

Thursday brought another 82 tournaments into the Q4QS database, with some outstanding averages, plenty of familiar winners and another busy evening across the Vault circuit.

The headline number came from Ipswich, where Josh Sinkovits hit a remarkable 120.24. Clive Langford and Ashton Brown both reached 115.62, while Ricky King produced 112.73 in Dorchester.

Closer to home, Jamie Kay won at St Breward, Jimmy Bristow came through a competitive evening at Hangar61, Robbie Roy won in Yeovil and Elliot Smith took the title in Worcester.

There was also WADC action and another busy evening of junior darts.

Sinkovits hits 120.24 in Ipswich

The highest recorded average of the day belonged to Josh Sinkovits at The Gardeners Arms in Ipswich.

Sinkovits averaged 120.24 in a 2–0 victory over Curtis Hammond, who himself recorded 97.88 in the same match.

However, it was Ash Ling who eventually won the tournament, beating Lewis Millions 3–2 in the final.

Ling finished with eight victories and recorded averages of 93.94 and 93.58.

Another example of how the biggest individual average and the tournament-winning performance can tell two different stories.

Ashton Brown hits 115.62 as Bristow wins at Hangar61

There was some exceptional scoring at Hangar61 in Patchway.

Ashton Brown averaged 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Cameron Oram and added another excellent 96.97 against Cori Wiltshire.

Jimmy Bristow also reached 96.97, while Luke Durham matched that figure against Lee Andrews.

But Bristow was the player who came through the tournament, defeating Luke Harding 3–0 in the final.

Bristow finished with nine wins, a particularly impressive return from an event featuring 96 recorded matches.

Lee Andrews, Steve Boundy, Harvey Curtis and Martyn Freeman each recorded six victories.

For me, this was one of the strongest events to look at in Thursday's results. The headline average was exceptional, but the depth of competition was just as interesting.

Jamie Kay combines 107.36 with St Breward victory

At St Breward AFC & Social Club near Bodmin, Jamie Kay produced one of the best all-round performances of the evening.

Kay averaged 107.36 against Barry Wylds and followed it with an 88.41 against William Chaffe.

He then defeated Neil Meneer 3–1 in the final to take the title.

Kay finished with eight wins, Meneer seven and Andrew Cook six.

Cook also impressed with a 93.94 average, while Chris Gill and Meneer both reached 88.41.

A strong evening of darts in Cornwall, and another title for Kay.

Ricky King hits 112.73 – Martin takes Dorchester title

Dorchester Trinity Club produced another fascinating result.

Ricky King recorded a superb 112.73 average against Andrew McDermott and added 95.00 during his run.

However, Robbie Martin emerged as the tournament winner, beating King 3–2 in the final.

Martin recorded 98.36 against Jack Bellingham and averaged 92.01 in the final.

King produced the biggest average, but Martin delivered an excellent performance to take the title.

Robbie Roy's nine-win night in Yeovil

At Yeovil Labour Club, Robbie Roy put together one of Thursday's most convincing tournament performances.

Roy recorded 96.97, 95.94 and 80.52, eventually defeating Jim Chappell 3–0 in the final.

He finished with nine wins, the highest recorded total at the venue.

It's a performance worth highlighting because it wasn't just one outstanding average. Roy produced several strong displays and finished the night with the trophy.

Elliot Smith wins in Worcester

At The Cue Corner in Worcester, Elliot Smith defeated Joe Winter 3–2 to win the Vault event.

Both players recorded six victories, while Zak Edmunds finished with five.

The highest average at the venue belonged to Pete Hughes, who reached 96.97 against Stewart Wilde.

Smith's own best recorded average was 81.98, making this another competition where the highest scorer didn't take the title.

Sanderson wins in Torquay, Gwynne impresses in Wales

At Cue Sports Bar in Torquay, Charlie Sanderson defeated Ian Thompson 3–2 in the final.

Sanderson recorded 75.15 and finished with six wins, while Thompson collected five. Robert Radvanszky also featured with a 66.80 average.

Further afield, Jacob Gwynne produced an excellent performance at The Libb in Ryhill.

Gwynne hit 104.86, recorded three separate 91.09 averages and finished with eight victories, defeating James Robins 3–1 in the final.

That was one of the strongest sequences of averages in the entire export.

More performances worth recognising

There was plenty happening beyond the featured venues.

At Coppenhall WMC in Crewe, Aaron Ayres hit 103.66, 96.97 and 90.99, winning eight matches and taking the title against Mark Jodrill.

At Llandeilo Rugby Club, Sion Thomas recorded 107.36, but Keith Evans took the title after a 3–2 final victory.

At The Newtown in Poole, Henry Cooper averaged 103.66 and won the event, finishing with seven victories.

At Locks Heath WMC near Southampton, Joey Cole recorded 100.20, 91.09 and 90.18 before beating Jarred Cole in the final. Both finished with seven wins.

At Cressex Social Club in High Wycombe, Andy Smith produced a 101.39 average in his 3–1 final victory over Jai Carlton.

And at Rusthall Club, Carl Wilson won another title, beating Rob Card 3–0 with a 93.94 average in the final.

WADC: Oldershaw impresses at Ilkeston

There were three competitions labelled WADC Vault 3.0 in Thursday's export, although the Walton WMC event appears to have a different participant field and should not automatically be treated as a women's competition.

At Sir John Warren in Ilkeston, Joanne Oldershaw produced the standout WADC performance.

Oldershaw recorded averages of 71.10, 70.45, 69.91, 63.96 and 63.31, winning five matches and defeating Michelle Adkin 3–2 in the final.

That's a very consistent set of performances across the competition.

At Phoenix in Eastbourne, Cindy Dearne defeated Becky Smeath 3–2 to win the event. Both players finished with four victories, with Smeath recording the highest average of 43.57.

These smaller events remain important. Not every WADC competition is going to produce averages in the 70s or 80s, but regular opportunities to compete are an important part of growing women's darts.

Junior darts continues to provide plenty of action

The Junior Volts programme was busy again.

At Bar 1895 in Oldham, Oscar Monkton won the Junior Volts event against Noah Woodward, with Matthew Roberts recording the highest average of 81.86.

At Buxton Working Mens Club, Adam Bines beat Angus Redfern in the final, with both players recording eight victories.

At Higher Irlam Social Club, Maxwell Payne defeated Harrison Doherty 3–2. Doherty produced an excellent series of averages: 83.50, 79.11, 79.11 and 75.15.

And at The Plough Chequers in Gillingham, Charlie Smith won the event against Blaise Welch.

There was also a substantial Boundary Park Academy programme, including an impressive 95.94 from Carl Sneyd in the over-65-average competition and nine wins for Noah Woodward in the under-65-average event.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Josh Sinkovits – 120.24, Ipswich. The biggest average recorded anywhere in Thursday's results.
2. Ashton Brown – 115.62, Hangar61. An exceptional average backed up by another 96.97.
3. Jamie Kay – 107.36 and St Breward title. Eight victories and one of the strongest local performances.
4. Jacob Gwynne – 104.86 and Ryhill title. Multiple 90-plus averages and eight wins.
5. Robbie Roy – 96.97, 95.94 and Yeovil title. Nine victories and an excellent tournament-winning performance.

Another 82 tournaments added to Q4QS

Thursday's results once again showed the depth of grassroots darts.

There were huge individual averages, strong tournament winners, regular Vault events, junior competitions and further WADC activity.

For me, the most interesting stories aren't always the players producing the single highest average. Sometimes they're the players who consistently perform throughout an evening and eventually take the title.

Another 82 tournaments means more matches, averages and results feeding into the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records and form data.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Ashton Brown Hits 102.48 as 63 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 17 September 2026

Thursday was another huge night for the Q4QS database, with 63 tournaments added from across the grassroots game.

For my South and South West coverage, there was plenty to pick from: a 102.48 at Hangar61, another title for Jamie Kay in Bodmin, Robbie Roy dominating in Yeovil, Finlay Cleave winning in Torquay and Danny Lauby taking the honours in Worcester.

But I'll start close to home.

Ashton Brown takes Hangar61 title with a 102.48

The Thursday night round robin at Hangar61 produced one of the strongest local performances of the night.

Ashton Brown hit a 102.48 average, followed it with 97.40 and 93.94, and ultimately took the tournament.

Brown accumulated nine wins, with John Brown recording eight and Geoff James seven.

John Brown produced a 100.20 average of his own, but Ashton won their final 3–0 to complete an excellent night.

With Hangar61 one of the venues I follow particularly closely, nights like this continue to add some very useful depth to its Q4QS player and venue records.

Jamie Kay wins again in Bodmin

There was another title for Jamie Kay at St Breward AFC & Social Club.

Mason Dower produced the highest average of the tournament at 93.94, but Kay put together the night's winning run.

Kay hit 90.89 along the way and finished with eight wins, before beating James Chudleigh 3–1 in the final.

Chudleigh had seven victories, with Dower on five.

Kay has been appearing regularly in these daily reports recently, and Thursday added another tournament victory to the database.

Nine wins for Robbie Roy at Yeovil

If you're looking purely at dominance across an entire tournament, Robbie Roy's night at Yeovil Labour Club is difficult to overlook.

Roy recorded the five highest listed averages at the event – 88.41, 83.50, 82.19, 81.24 and 77.74 – and finished with nine wins.

He then beat Jordan Baker 3–0 in the final.

That's about as complete a tournament performance as you can ask for.

Finlay Cleave takes Torquay title

At Cue Sports Academy in Torquay, Finlay Cleave came through with seven victories.

Cleave hit 79.11, 78.12 and 75.34 among his best performances and defeated Charlie Sanderson 3–1 in the final.

Jamie Chamberlain also reached 79.11 during the tournament, while Sanderson finished with five wins.

Danny Lauby wins in Worcester

The Cue Corner in Worcester produced a tournament where the biggest averages belonged to other players, but Danny Lauby took the title.

Stewart Wilde and Freddie Wilson both reached 93.94, with Jamie Chaplin hitting 90.18.

Lauby, however, accumulated seven victories and beat Elliot Smith 3–0 in the final.

It is another reminder of why I like looking beyond a simple list of highest averages. Winning the tournament remains the thing that matters.

A strong night further across the South

There were plenty of performances beyond the core South West area worth picking out.

Lloyd Walker was outstanding at Fareham Social Club, producing averages of 107.36, 98.02 and 96.97 before completing an eight-win night and beating Joey Cole 3–0 in the final.

At Dorchester, Robbie Martin hit 100.20, while Alfie Yarrow recorded 98.02, 96.97 and 93.94. Liam Blakeley ultimately won the tournament, beating Yarrow 3–2 in the final.

And at Minehead, Taylor Foster beat Carl High 3–0 to take the title after High had produced a 96.97, with Foster reaching 95.94.

Some enormous numbers elsewhere

Although Q4QS remains weighted towards my South and South West coverage, Thursday produced several performances elsewhere that are simply too big to ignore.

The highest was Andy Smith's 120.24 at Cressex Social Club, and it wasn't a one-off – Smith also recorded 109.98 and two 100.20 averages on his way to eight wins and the title.

Wayne Bloomfield and Matt Gallett both hit 111.33, while Dean Reynolds and Lloyd Walker recorded 107.36. The overall top-average list shows just how strong Thursday's 63-tournament collection was.

63 more tournaments into Q4QS

Another 63 tournaments means thousands more pieces of information feeding into Q4QS.

Every result helps build the player records, head-to-heads, venue histories, form and rankings that sit behind the site.

For my local coverage, Ashton Brown's 102.48 and Hangar61 victory leads the way, with Jamie Kay winning in Bodmin, Robbie Roy putting together a dominant nine-win performance in Yeovil, Finlay Cleave taking Torquay and Danny Lauby winning in Worcester.

Another busy Thursday – and another substantial chunk of grassroots darts added to Q4QS.

Hughes wins Worcester Vault

Pete Hughes came through a strong field at The Cue Corner in Worcester, beating Steve Sewell 3–1 in the final.

The standout scoring performance at the venue came from Danny Lauby, who hit 97.53 and 96.97 during the night. Hughes himself produced an excellent 95.76 against Lauby before later finishing the tournament with seven wins.

Roy takes Yeovil title

At Yeovil Labour Club, Robbie Roy won the Vault 19.0 event with a 3–0 final victory over Jacob Noyce.

Brown wins another busy night at Hangar 61

There were 81 matches recorded at Hangar 61, where John Brown came through to take the Thursday night round robin title.

Owen Smith finished with six wins, while Danny Humphries, Andy Smith, O'Toole and Oates all recorded five.

Kay wins again in Cornwall

After winning in Bodmin on Wednesday, Jamie Kay made it back-to-back winning nights with another Vault title at St Breward AFC & Social Club.

Smith finished with eight wins, while Bowler and Ian Bartlett both recorded six.

Martin fires 107.36 in Dorchester

Robbie Martin matched the night's top figure with a 107.36 average at Dorchester Trinity Club.

Martin also hit 93.94 and 90.00, although the title went to James Wills, who beat Jay Anderson 3–2 in the final. Martin, Wills, Anderson and Liam Blakeley all finished with five victories.

More South West success

There were more titles across the region.

At The Newtown in Poole, Henry Cooper won with eight victories and produced a 100.20 average on the way, beating Ryan Marten 3–1 in the final.

At Minehead, David Farmer took the Vault title with a 3–0 final win over Brad Furse, recording a best average of 93.94.

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 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.

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. 

South West Darts Round-Up – Henry Cooper Stars With 103.66 Average (3rd July 2026)

 

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.

Darrel Williams claimed the title after defeating Pete Hughes 3-0 in the final.

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.

Jamie Kay Continues Winning Form In Bodmin

Jamie Kay enjoyed another successful evening in Cornwall.

He defeated Freddie Rich 3-0 in the final at St Breward AFC & Social Club, producing two excellent 93.94 averages during the competition.

Neil Meneer also enjoyed a strong tournament, recording the event's highest average of 94.87 despite falling short of the final.

Bailey White Edges Strong Taunton Field

The Pegasus 68 Club once again hosted a competitive South West Vault.

Bailey White came through a close final to defeat Steven Rees 3-2 and claim another Vault title.

Logun Godbeer and Steve Boundy also produced some excellent darts as another strong Taunton field delivered a competitive evening.

Bristol Winner

At Lockleaze Community Club, Dan Raby claimed the Vault 18 title after overcoming Jamie Harvey 3-2 in the final.

Jon Taylor recorded the highest average of the evening, while Dan Raby won six matches to lift the trophy and continue his encouraging recent form.

Other South West Highlights

Andrew Purchase lifted the title in Yeovil, while Dilon Battishill claimed victory in Exeter after defeating Dean Brown in the final.
