Yesterday's Darts Results: Kurt Parry Hits 107.36, Jayden Walker Shines and 43 Tournaments Added – 2 November 2026

Yesterday's Darts Results – 2 November 2026

Monday's grassroots darts produced another strong collection of results, with 43 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database.

Kurt Parry delivered the highest recorded match average of the day, Jayden Walker impressed in the Junior Volts competition at Salisbury, and Kieran Harris continued his good form with another tournament victory.

There were also strong performances from Stuart Dutton, James Smith and Kaya Baysal, while the WADC programme featured a blind doubles competition at the Red Rose Darts Hub.

Kurt Parry continues his excellent form

Kurt Parry has been producing some impressive numbers recently, and Monday brought another tournament victory at the Clive Arms Vault Break 2.

Parry defeated Allan Burnett 3–0 in the final, finishing with seven match victories.

What stood out was the consistency of his scoring across several matches. He recorded averages of 107.36 against Lloyd Johnson, 103.66 against Allan Burnett, 98.02 against Andy Williams and 91.13 against Edward Manley.

It's one thing to produce a single outstanding average, but putting together several strong performances in the same competition is arguably more encouraging.

Edward Manley finished with six victories, while Burnett and Grant Coombs recorded five apiece.

Parry's 107.36 was the highest individual match average across Monday's 43 recorded tournaments.

Jayden Walker impresses at Stratford Social Club

One of Monday's most encouraging performances came from the Junior Volts competition at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Jayden Walker defeated Zachary Petty 3–0 in the final, finishing with six victories.

Walker also produced an excellent 92.02 average against Leo Fowler, comfortably the highest recorded average in the competition.

His other notable performances included averages of 79.11 against Lexi Petty, 77.74 against Thomas Scamell and 75.15 against Zachary Byford.

Petty also played well, recording a 76.42 average against Byford and finishing with five victories.

The encouraging thing about Walker's performance wasn't simply the 92 average. He backed it up with several other good matches and went on to win the tournament.

That's exactly the sort of consistency young players will want to develop.

Kieran Harris wins again at Wern Fawr

Kieran Harris followed up Sunday's success with another victory, this time in the Wern Fawr Money In Money Out competition.

Harris defeated Louis Melville 3–0 in the final and finished with nine victories, the joint-highest total among the tournaments' leading winners on Monday.

His best recorded average was 103.66 against Shane Jones, and he also averaged 90.18 in the final.

Melville had a good competition himself, producing averages of 91.09 against Skyla-May Melville, 88.41 against Jo Mew and 85.89 against Jesse Nicholas.

Daniel Castle also recorded seven victories, with Ellis Williams finishing on six.

Two tournament wins across consecutive days is an impressive return for Harris, particularly when accompanied by averages above 100.

Stuart Dutton dominates at Riverside

Stuart Dutton produced one of Monday's strongest all-round tournament performances at the Riverside Club.

He won the Vault In-Betweener competition, defeating Rob Brereton 3–0 in the final and finishing with eight victories.

Dutton's five leading recorded averages were all impressive: 100.20, 91.09, 88.41, 87.71 and 81.98.

The 100.20 came against Harry Carter, while his 91.09 was recorded against Owen Nockolds.

With 67 matches recorded in the competition, Dutton's combination of high scoring and eight victories was particularly noteworthy.

James Smith takes Southwick title

At Southwick Sports Club, James Smith won the second week of the Vault Break competition, defeating Matt Macintosh 3–0 in the final.

Smith recorded seven victories and a 100.20 average against Andy Grace.

Darren Clark also reached 100.20 against William Woolnough, while Macintosh produced 96.97 against Grace.

Donny Boerman recorded 91.09, with Stuart Garner reaching 88.41.

The tournament contained 67 recorded matches, and there were several good performances beyond the eventual winner.

Kaya Baysal wins Pendle Super Series Week 6

Kaya Baysal took the Week 6 title at the David Street Club, defeating Alfie Armitage 3–1.

Baysal finished with nine victories, equalling Kieran Harris's winning total from Wern Fawr.

His highest average was 93.56 against Oscar Heys, while he also recorded 91.09 against Wayne Harrison.

Armitage averaged 91.92 in the final despite losing and produced 91.09 against Dave Graham.

Leighton Jones also reached 91.09.

With 90 matches recorded, this was one of Monday's larger competitions.

More junior darts across the country

It wasn't only Jayden Walker producing good results in the Junior Volts programme.

At McNamara's Sports Bar and Academy, Charlie Thomason defeated Ben Lundstrom 3–2 in the final. Thomason recorded six victories, with averages of 88.41, 86.43, 81.24 and 77.08 among his best performances.

At the Manhattan Club in Harrogate, Ben Pilgrim defeated Sammy Surgenor 3–1, recording a best average of 81.24.

Zac Copperwheat won at MK Sports Bar & Lounge in Milton Keynes, defeating Harry Winfield 3–2, while Jack Waker recorded the competition's highest average of 79.11.

Harrison Meggitt won at Nellies Club in Hull, defeating Mason Cook 3–0. Jacob Smith recorded the highest average of 75.15.

Jamie Johnson took the title at the Empire Clubs in Lancing, defeating Ethan Yates 3–0, with Jack Byrne recording a 71.57 average.

At Bradley House Bar in Uttoxeter, Jay Cottier defeated Ollie Gallimore 3–1, recording a best average of 66.31.

Seven Junior Volts competitions were recorded altogether. It's another reminder of how much competitive darts is now available to younger players.

WADC: Blind Doubles at Red Rose Darts Hub

There was also WADC action on Monday, with the Blind Doubles competition taking place at Red Rose Darts Hub.

The pairing of Netty and Eileen defeated Rachel and Wendy M 3–1 in the final.

Netty and Eileen finished with five victories, recording the competition's highest average of 50.10 against Celia and Sammy.

Their other leading averages included 45.55 against Andrea and Wendy S and 40.19 in the final.

Rachel and Wendy M finished with four victories.

There were 13 matches recorded in this competition. Although the averages are naturally different from some of the higher-profile singles events, it's another example of the variety of competitive darts being played.

Other results worth mentioning

There were plenty of good performances elsewhere in the country.

At Daventry Town Football Club, Mark McGeeney defeated Stuart Scarsbrook 3–2, recording seven victories and a highest average of 94.13.

Tony Chapman won the Cambs & South Lincs Darts Series qualifier at Wisbech, defeating Dec Shaw 3–0 and averaging 90.18 in the final.

At Broadway Social Club, George Humphreys defeated Owen Alford 3–2, recording nine victories. Alford produced the highest average of 86.71.

At Bostin Darts 180 Bar, Liam Kelly defeated Matthew Lloyd 3–0, with both players recording seven victories. Matt Hall and Lloyd both reached 93.94.

Richard Rowlands defeated Spud Thomas 3–1 in a competition listed as Retry later in the export, recording eight victories and a highest average of 89.37. The event name will need correcting in the Q4QS Database.

At Nantyffyllon Non Political Club in Maesteg, Bryan Williams defeated Richard Shanklyn 3–0, while Joseph Flenley recorded the highest average of 88.41.

At Rileys Liverpool, Ian Frame defeated Thomas Halliday 3–1, although Shane Evans produced the competition's highest average of 100.20, followed by 96.97.

Ollie Smith won the Roose Break Vault, defeating Blake Ward 3–2. Kenny Hartley produced a 100.20 average, with Daniel Backhouse reaching 93.94.

Steve Kirkby also impressed at Wilfrids Club, defeating Harry Cooke 3–0 in the final with a 93.94 average and finishing with eight victories.

Monday's top 10 individual match averages

These are individual match averages rather than tournament averages. Players can appear more than once if they recorded multiple leading performances.

A final thought

What stands out from Monday's results is the number of players putting together several good matches rather than relying on one exceptional performance.

Kurt Parry, Stuart Dutton, Kieran Harris and Charlie Thomason all recorded multiple strong averages, while Jayden Walker showed what can be achieved in junior competition.

The Q4QS Database is about recognising those performances, whether they happen in a major regional event or a smaller local tournament.

There will always be competitions that aren't included, but the more results I can bring together, the better the picture of grassroots darts becomes.

Beat Luke Littler: Can the World Champion Survive 20 Legs? Meet the 24 Challengers

 


Friday 30 October 2026 | Q4QS Preview

Twenty-four hopefuls, up to twenty legs of darts, one world champion and £501,000 waiting for the first person who can beat him.

Netflix's Beat Luke Littler promises to be a rather unusual evening of darts. And while Luke Littler will be the overwhelming favourite every time he steps up to the oche, I'm not at all convinced he will get through the night unbeaten.

Not because I doubt his ability. Far from it. But because of the format.

Each challenger only has to win one leg of 501. There is no opportunity for Littler to recover from a poor leg, no best-of-11 to allow his superior ability to take over, and no second chance if an opponent happens to produce the leg of their life.

And he could have to do it twenty times.

Is Littler actually likely to lose?

This is where things become interesting.

Let's imagine, purely for illustration, that Littler has a 90% chance of winning an individual leg against each challenger.

That sounds pretty comfortable. But his chance of winning twenty consecutive legs would be approximately 12%.

Put another way, there would be around an 88% chance of somebody beating him.

Of course, the challengers aren't all of equal ability, so we can't simply give every contest the same probability. And the calculations assume that the individual outcomes behave independently, which is another simplification.

For comparison:

Challenger's chance per legChance someone wins at least one of 20
5%64%
10%88%
15%96%

These are mathematical examples, not Q4QS predictions.

Richard Osman, who will be providing statistical analysis during the programme, has also suggested that Littler is more likely to lose at least once than survive the entire challenge.

My own early Q4QS analysis points towards several challengers being capable of causing an upset, although the individual probabilities still need further testing.

And there's another important factor: who throws first? In a single leg, that could make an enormous difference.

Meet the 24 challengers

The field is an interesting mixture. Some are familiar names from the competitive darts circuit, while others have far less publicly recorded tournament experience.

Using the Q4QS Database, I've been looking at their recorded performances, recent form and competition histories.

The established competitors

Mitchell Lawrie, 15 – Scotland

One of the outstanding young players in darts and a genuine challenger in a single-leg contest.

Lawrie has a Q4QS average of 90.32 across 31 recorded events, with a highest match average of 109.98.

His 2026 records include victories in JDC, Welsh Open/Masters/Classic and WDF competition. He also produced a 99.82 event average in the JDC Nations Cup.

His experience and scoring ability make him one of the most interesting names in the field.

Fallon Sherrock, 32 – England

The most recognisable challenger and, of course, the woman who made history at Alexandra Palace in 2019.

Sherrock's Q4QS average is 79.68, with a recorded best match average of 102.12.

She's continued competing on the PDC Women's Series, and her 2026 records include a Welsh tournament final, strong Women's Series performances and victories over established international opponents.

If she gets a chance at a double, she certainly won't be unfamiliar with the television cameras.

Ashley Coleman, 29 – England

Another contestant whose competitive experience shouldn't be overlooked.

Coleman has competed on the PDC Challenge Tour and in other high-level competitions.

His Q4QS average stands at 86.35, and his recent records include a 92.88 event average in a World Championship qualifier.

That kind of form makes him a potentially dangerous opponent.

Jacob Gwynne, 27 – England

Gwynne has considerable grassroots tournament experience alongside appearances in PDC qualifying and Challenge Tour competitions.

His Q4QS average is 83.35, and the database shows ten wins from his last ten recorded matches.

Several of his recent results have come from ADC Vault tournaments, where he has demonstrated an ability to win repeatedly.

Jarod Becker, 23 – Germany

Becker brings Development Tour and World Youth Championship experience.

His Q4QS average is 80.38, and his recorded performances include an 88.41 average in a 4–0 victory over Kyen van Strijdonck.

He's accustomed to competitive darts and could take advantage of any hesitation from Littler.

Jayden Walker, 14 – England

Another remarkable young talent, and one with plenty of recorded tournament experience despite his age.

Walker has played 527 matches across 89 events in the Q4QS export, with an average of 79.16 and a highest recorded match average of 121.86.

His achievements include victories in junior competitions and strong performances in grassroots adult tournaments.

The database also records a victory over fellow contestant Bhav Patel.

Jasper Scarrott, 54 – England

Scarrott has experience of the Challenge Tour, ADC competition and MODUS Super Series.

His Q4QS average is 79.27, and he has produced a recorded 91.09 match average in ADC competition.

He also has the distinction of having hit a nine-darter on his MODUS Super Series debut.

David Wawrzewski, 50 – England

A familiar participant in PDC Challenge Tour and Q-School competitions.

Wawrzewski's Q4QS average is 79.46, with several strong performances recorded during the 2026 season.

He also brings considerable competitive experience, something that could be important in a televised one-leg challenge.

Experienced challengers and developing players

Zac Griffiths, 25 – England

Griffiths has competed on the PDC Development Tour and has previously faced Littler.

His Q4QS average is 76.25, and his database record includes several ADC Vault knockout-stage appearances.

Pearse Mackle, 21 – Ireland

Mackle has played on the PDC Development Tour, with recorded victories over players including Henry Coates and Angelo Balsamo.

His database coverage is currently insufficient for an established Q4QS average, but the recorded matches show useful competitive experience.

Bhav Patel, 36 – England

Patel appeared at the 2024 PDC World Championship and has since competed in Challenge Tour and other tournaments.

His Q4QS average is 73.31. His recent results also include a defeat to fellow contestant Jayden Walker.

Katie Sheldon, 22 – Ireland

An established Irish international with PDC Women's Series and WDF experience.

She has a Q4QS average of 66.38 and recorded victories against Kirsty Hutchinson and Phonsawan Whillis.

Sheldon is no stranger to competitive tournament darts.

Lauren Bloomfield, 30 – England

Bloomfield competes on the PDC Women's Series and in other women's events.

Her Q4QS average is 66.13, and she reached the semi-finals of the WADC Red Dragon National Singles Finals in October.

Her tournament experience could prove valuable.

The less familiar names

Zac Spain, 30 – Australia

A professional jockey from Melbourne who has travelled halfway around the world for the opportunity.

Q4QS contains records under his name, including Australian competition and ADC Vault results, although these require identity confirmation before they can be attributed confidently to him.

Tony Cole, 39 – Wales

A bank business adviser whose background makes him one of the more unusual contestants.

Public reports suggest his darts experience has largely been confined to playing at home. With such limited verified competitive information, he's difficult to assess statistically.

Kasey Smith, 16 – England

A young Manchester player relatively new to darts.

There are some Q4QS results under her name, including WADC Vault and junior competition records, although the data is too limited to establish a reliable overall average.

Makinley Cooper-Johnson, 14 – Wales

The Wrexham teenager known as Mighty Mak.

He is among the youngest challengers and an example of the new generation hoping to make a name for themselves.

Q4QS doesn't currently have sufficient verified performance data to rate him.

Taylon Forrester, 18 – England

Known as The Trash Man, Forrester is a Bedford youngster whose story is rather different from the established tournament competitors.

We don't currently have enough verified Q4QS records for a meaningful statistical assessment.

Pwyll ap Llŷr Edwards, 34 – Wales

A Welsh player from Bala who has been playing darts since childhood.

Although there isn't sufficient verified Q4QS data to calculate his form, he has spoken publicly about producing some excellent individual legs.

Théodore Wallich, 23 – France

The French student known as The Moustache Kid.

Having taken up darts comparatively recently, Wallich is another contestant for whom reliable competitive statistics are limited.

Mark Pooke, 57 – England

One of the oldest challengers, but not somebody entirely unfamiliar with professional darts.

Pooke previously competed at the UK Open in 2007 and has a county darts background.

There aren't enough recent verified Q4QS results to judge his current level.

Will Kemp, 30 – England

The Harrogate recruitment consultant known as Tempo Kempo.

Kemp is a relatively recent arrival to competitive darts, and there isn't sufficient verified Q4QS data to produce a reliable performance profile.

Sonny Johal, 29 – England

A former amateur boxer and current driving instructor who has also competed in PDC Challenge Tour events.

His competitive background is worth noting, although we don't currently have a sufficiently reliable Q4QS profile.

Brett Todd, 25 – England

A British Army helicopter technician from Ipswich.

Todd is one of the less documented darts competitors in the field, and we haven't established enough verified match data to estimate his playing standard.

So, will somebody beat Luke Littler?

If Littler were facing these players over longer matches, I'd expect him to win the overwhelming majority.

But this is different.

He only needs to miss a few doubles at the wrong moment. One challenger only needs to produce an exceptional leg. And with the possibility of twenty separate opportunities, that's not something I'd dismiss.

The strength of the field varies enormously, and we don't yet know exactly which twenty players will make the final selection.

But there's enough competitive experience among the challengers to make the prospect of an upset quite realistic.

My feeling is that Littler will probably get beaten at some point during the evening.

Not because he isn't comfortably the best player involved, but because even the best player in the world cannot win every leg of darts.

And that's what makes Friday's programme so interesting.

Who would you back to take one leg off Luke Littler?


About the Q4QS statistics

Q4QS averages are calculated using the database's middle-third methodology, reducing the influence of unusually high or low tournament performances. They are not necessarily identical to conventional season-long three-dart averages.

The statistics quoted are drawn from recorded competition data and may not cover every match played. Player identities and records with incomplete coverage have been treated cautiously.

The previously published Q4QS individual one-leg probabilities remain experimental and have therefore not been presented as validated forecasts.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Kaya Baysal Hits 115.62, Jayden Walker Wins Again and 33 Tournaments Added to Q4QS – 26 October 2026

Monday may not have had Sunday's enormous number of tournaments, but there was still plenty to talk about, with 33 competitions added to the Q4QS Database.

Kaya Baysal continued his impressive form with another tournament victory and four three-figure averages. Jayden Walker was among the junior winners in Salisbury, Shane Turner produced a 103.66 average on his way to a title, and Alec Small recorded a 115.62 in Wales.

There was also a remarkable set of averages at a handicap competition in Lichfield, although those figures need to be considered in the context of the format.

And there was WADC action too, with a blind doubles competition at the Red Rose Darts Hub.

Kaya Baysal continues his excellent run

Having featured prominently in Sunday's results, Kaya Baysal was back among the headlines on Monday.

At the David Street Club, Baysal won Pendle Super Series 3 – Week 5, defeating Leighton Jones 3–0 in the final and finishing with nine victories.

What really caught my attention was the consistency of his performances.

He recorded averages of 115.62, 104.86, 102.48 and 100.20, all in the same competition.

The 115.62 came against Alfie Armitage, while the 104.86 was recorded against Tony Clarke.

Carl Bevan and Leighton Jones both finished with seven victories, but Baysal was the outstanding performer.

It's one thing to hit a big average. Producing four three-figure averages during a tournament, and then winning it, tells us rather more about the standard of someone's darts.

Jayden Walker wins another Junior Volts title

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Jayden Walker won the Monday Junior Volts competition, defeating Mason Beaven 3–1 in the final.

Walker finished with six victories and produced the highest average of the event, 86.71 against Jake Bertenshaw.

He also recorded 81.24 against Thomas Scamell and 76.48 against Zachary Petty.

Joshua Stott averaged 78.37, while Petty recorded 76.74.

Walker has appeared in our recent results more than once, and performances like this are worth keeping an eye on. Winning junior tournaments regularly is encouraging, but combining those victories with improving averages is particularly interesting.

Shane Turner breaks the 100 barrier

At the Riverside Club, Shane Turner won the Vault in-betweener competition, defeating Paul Farnes 4–2 in the final.

Turner collected seven victories and produced a 103.66 average against John McDonald.

His other leading averages included 90.13 and 85.08, while Robert Buckle recorded 83.50.

Another strong performance where the tournament winner also produced the highest average.

Alec Small hits 115.62 in Wattsville

One of Monday's strongest individual performances came at Wattsville National Club.

Alec Small recorded a 115.62 average against Luke Pope, followed by an equally impressive 104.86 against Keri Dacey.

However, the tournament title went to Rico Anderson, who defeated Small 3–1 in the final.

Anderson finished with eight victories, while Small collected seven.

It's a good example of something we see quite regularly in grassroots darts. The player producing the biggest averages doesn't necessarily win the tournament.

That doesn't diminish Small's performances, but Anderson deserves credit for coming through the matches and taking the title.

Adam Clarke wins in Lichfield – with some extraordinary averages

At the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield, Adam Clarke defeated Jake Lawley 3–2 to win the Handicap Knockout.

The recorded averages were extraordinary.

Martyn Exall topped the competition with 127.79, followed by Michael Bean on 116.20, Jodie Payne on 113.72, Adam Clarke on 113.56 and Clayton Edge on 112.68.

Those figures certainly stand out, but I would be cautious about comparing them directly with ordinary 501 tournament averages without checking exactly how the handicap format affects the statistics.

The result itself is straightforward: Clarke won the competition, with five victories recorded.

Liam Cook wins in Cwmbran

At Cwmbran Working Men's Club, Liam Cook defeated James Prettyjohn 4–1 in the final of the Money In Money Out competition.

Cook won seven matches and produced the highest average of the tournament, 93.94 against Dai Smith.

He also recorded 78.13 in the final and 77.83 against Ashley Jeremiah.

Prettyjohn and Bravon Monjero each finished with five victories.

Damian Corr takes the Halifax title

Damian Corr won the Division 1 competition at Forest Cottage Community Centre in Halifax, defeating John Clifford 3–1 in the final.

Corr finished with seven victories and produced the event's highest average, 95.94 against Tommy Hudson.

Jordon Catherall recorded 86.71, while Clifford produced 84.52.

A convincing tournament performance from Corr.

More Monday winners

There were several other results worth mentioning.

At Clandown Darts Promotions, Alfie Barney won the Monday Under-65 Round Robin, defeating Freddie Keen 3–2. Barney recorded two averages of 81.24 and finished with seven victories.

At the Wolversdene Club, David Moule defeated Jack Steer 3–0 to win the Money In Money Out Round Robin. Moule won eight matches, while Lee Evans produced the highest average of 98.02.

At Broadway Social Club, Shaun Barnes won the Clwb Emrys Circuit competition, defeating Morgan Preece 3–0 and finishing with nine victories. Preece recorded the highest average of 81.98.

At Bostin Darts 180 Bar, Shaun Hercules defeated Danny Lauby 3–0 in the final. Lauby had produced the competition's highest average of 93.94.

And at the Active Club Hub, Sam Atherton defeated Charlie Taylor 3–0 to win the Monday Vault competition. Both players finished with eight victories.

Junior darts: four Junior Volts competitions

As well as Jayden Walker's victory in Salisbury, three other Junior Volts competitions took place on Monday.

At MK Sports Bar & Lounge in Milton Keynes, Mason Lyon defeated Presley Lamb 3–2 in the final. Zac Copperwheat recorded the highest average of 85.89, with Jack Waker close behind on 83.50.

At McNamara's Sports Bar and Academy, Harley Lewis-Rowlands defeated Mason Gleave 3–0, finishing with seven victories. Rhys Brown produced the highest average of 91.09, while Lewis-Rowlands recorded 85.08 in the final.

At the Empire Clubs in Lancing, Ethan Yates defeated Jamie Johnson 3–2. Johnson produced the competition's highest average of 80.52.

There was also a victory for Harrison Doherty in Monday Night Mayhem at St Anthony's Darts, while Mason Morris won the Social Bull Under-18 Winter League competition.

It's another encouraging set of junior results, particularly with several players recording averages in the 80s and 90s.

WADC: blind doubles at Red Rose Darts Hub

Monday's WADC action came from the WADC Vault Break Blind Doubles at Red Rose Darts Hub.

The pairing listed as Celia Netty defeated Rachel t Andrea 3–2 in the final.

The highest recorded average was 51.83 from the pairing listed as Grace Wendy S.

Because these are blind doubles team labels rather than confirmed individual player identities, I wouldn't attach individual player statistics or profile links to them without further verification.

It's good to see doubles included in the WADC programme. Different formats give players another opportunity to compete, particularly when partnerships are drawn rather than established beforehand.

Monday's highest recorded averages

The handicap competition produced several exceptionally high figures, so I've separated those from the conventional competition results.

Player Average Competition
Martyn Exall127.79Lichfield Handicap Knockout
Michael Bean116.20Lichfield Handicap Knockout
Kaya Baysal115.62Pendle Super Series
Alec Small115.62Wattsville Vault
Jodie Payne113.72Lichfield Handicap Knockout
Adam Clarke113.56Lichfield Handicap Knockout
Clayton Edge112.68Lichfield Handicap Knockout
Shane Turner103.66Riverside Vault
Will Parry100.20Windle Round Robin
Lee Evans98.02Wolversdene Club

These are individual match averages, not tournament averages. Handicap-event figures are shown as recorded and should not automatically be compared on a like-for-like basis with standard competitions.

My five standout performances

  1. Kaya Baysal: Nine victories, four three-figure averages and another Pendle Super Series title.
  2. Alec Small: A 115.62 and a 104.86 at Wattsville, despite finishing runner-up.
  3. Jayden Walker: Another Junior Volts victory, with an 86.71 average in Salisbury.
  4. Shane Turner: Seven victories and a 103.66 average at the Riverside Club.
  5. Liam Cook: Seven victories and a 93.94 average in Cwmbran.

Special mentions go to Damian Corr, Harley Lewis-Rowlands, Rhys Brown and Rico Anderson.

Another 33 tournaments added to Q4QS

Monday's results provided a good mixture of open competitions, restricted-average events, junior darts, a handicap tournament and WADC doubles.

For me, Kaya Baysal was the standout story. Following up Sunday's success with another title and four averages over 100 is impressive.

But there were plenty of other achievements worth recognising, from Jayden Walker's junior victory to Rico Anderson beating a player who had produced two exceptional averages.

That's one of the reasons I enjoy looking beyond the final scores. There's usually more to a tournament than simply who lifted the trophy.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Jayden Walker Hits 115.62, Lee Evans Shines in Llanelli and Vince Tipple Wins in Evesham – 19 October 2026

Monday brought another 58 tournaments into the Q4QS Database, and there were some remarkable performances among them.

The headline has to be a 115.62 average from junior player Jayden Walker in Salisbury. We also had a 109.98 from Lee Evans in a Llanelli final, a 111.33 at the North Star Club in Calne and some excellent darts at Bengeworth Club in Evesham.

There were seven WADC Vault competitions, eight Junior Volts events and plenty of local and regional tournaments to look through.

What particularly interested me was the mixture of established players, youngsters and local regulars producing some of the day's strongest performances.

Jayden Walker produces a remarkable 115.62 in Salisbury

I'm not sure how many people would have expected the highest average of Monday's results to come from a Junior Volts competition, but that's exactly what happened at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Jayden Walker defeated Zachary Petty 3–0 in the final, completing an impressive nine victories.

But the result only tells part of the story.

Walker recorded a remarkable 115.62 average against Jacob Stott, followed by another three-figure performance of 100.20 against Joshua Stott.

He also produced averages of 88.41 against Zachary Byford and 79.11 in the final.

Nine victories, two averages above 100 and a tournament title. That's an exceptional evening at any level, never mind junior darts.

Charlie Grearson, Joshua Stott and Zachary Petty all finished with six victories, but Walker was clearly the standout performer.

I always think it's important to remember that individual averages can be affected by the length of a match. Even allowing for that, 115.62 is an extraordinary figure.

Lee Evans produces 109.98 in the Llanelli final

One of my favourite performances from Monday came at Cambrian Sports Bar in Llanelli.

Lee Evans defeated Nenin Jones 3–0 in the final, averaging 109.98.

Producing your best darts in a final is always impressive, and Evans certainly managed that.

His other leading averages were:

Evans finished with six victories, while Jones and Roger James both collected five.

Jones also produced an excellent 103.66 average against Oscar Bourne.

This was a particularly strong evening at Cambrian Sports Bar, with both finalists contributing three-figure averages.

Vince Tipple takes the title at Bengeworth Club

The Monday Vault competition at Bengeworth Club in Evesham produced another strong set of results.

Vince Tipple defeated Paul Jones 3–2 in the final, finishing with seven victories.

Tipple's best average was 90.57 against Jones, and he also recorded 85.89 against Alfie Lewis and 85.23 against Jason Reeve.

However, the highest average of the competition came from Shaun Vernall, who produced 96.97 against Luis Cowley-Bryenton.

Jones also impressed, recording 88.50 against Tipple.

Vernall finished with six victories and Jones with five, but Tipple came through a close final to secure the title.

It's another good example of why I like looking beyond the highest average. Vernall produced the best individual performance, but Tipple was the player who ultimately won the tournament.

Ashley Melvin impresses in Salisbury

Stratford Social Club also hosted its regular adult Vault competition, and there were some very good averages recorded.

Des Stevens defeated Luke Yates 3–2 in the final, with both Stevens and Ashley Melvin finishing on six victories.

Melvin recorded two separate 96.97 averages, against Kelsey Haigh and Jamie Rhodes.

Liam Glister also collected six victories, while Yates finished with five.

Although Melvin produced the strongest individual averages, Stevens did enough to take the title.

With Walker's exceptional Junior Volts performance taking place at the same venue, Stratford Social Club certainly had a memorable Monday.

Scott Mc records 111.33 in Calne

At the North Star Club in Calne, the highest recorded average was 111.33 from Scott Mc against Daniel Fitchett.

That's the second-highest individual average in Monday's report.

I should mention that the player is recorded as Scott Mc in the results, so I'm keeping that name as supplied rather than assuming a full surname.

The tournament itself was won by Gary Hiscock, who defeated Aidan Wiltshire 3–1 in the final.

Hiscock finished with six victories and recorded a best average of 88.41 against Lee Andrews.

Rich Griffee also produced 96.97, while Alfie Barney and Shoey Ayres both recorded 91.09.

A strong night at one of the regular Wiltshire venues.

Other impressive Monday performances

There were several more results worth picking out.

At Hindley Social Club, Jonathan Kavanagh defeated Anthony Paul Hitchen 4–2, recording a 105.47 average against Jason Walkley and 95.13 against Connor Mather.

At the Academy in Basingstoke, Jason Collins defeated Paul Hogan 3–0. Hogan and Callum Grealis both recorded 103.66 and 100.20 during the competition.

At the Clive Arms in Cardiff, Kurt Parry defeated Jose Van Angeles 3–1, producing a 102.48 average against Edward Manley.

At the Green Star in Smallthorne, Carl Batchelor defeated Ash Dale 3–0, winning eight matches. His leading averages were 100.20, 98.02, 91.09 and two performances of 88.41.

At Wattsville National Club, Connor Hopkins defeated Alec Small 3–1. Hopkins recorded two 100.20 averages, along with 95.94.

At Nantyffyllon Non Political Club in Maesteg, Mike Huntley defeated Bryan Williams 3–2, finishing with eight victories. Huntley produced 100.20, 96.97, 95.94 and 91.09.

At Legends Sports Bar in Wisbech, Brett Claydon defeated Scott Carter 3–1, winning eight matches and recording 97.28, 96.97 and 88.41.

At the Banckers Draught in Minehead, Dave Fisher defeated Jack Walker 3–0, completing eight victories. Dan Williams produced the highest average of the competition at 100.20.

And at the 49 Club's Under-60 Series, Billy Titchener defeated Ian Stringer 4–2, finishing with seven victories. Kirky Godbeer recorded the event's highest average of 75.15.

There was plenty of quality across the country, but what stood out was the number of players producing several strong performances in the same competition.

WADC: Anna Pearce wins in Plymouth as seven Vault events take place

There were seven WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Monday's results, and I'm pleased to see the regular women's tournaments continuing across different parts of the country.

At Legends Darts Lounge in Plymouth, Anna Pearce defeated Heather Toney 3–1, completing five victories.

Pearce recorded averages of 59.33 against Jodie Hawton and 57.30 against Toney.

Toney produced the competition's highest average of 63.09.

Elsewhere, Monday's WADC winners were:

Winner Venue Final result
Stacey Price Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury Beat Emma Tapp 3–1
Janet Hardman Derby Arms, Birkenhead Beat Leanne Topper 3–1
Kate Drake Hotshots Sports Bar, Bletchley Beat Gill Clark 3–1
Anna Pearce Legends Darts Lounge, Plymouth Beat Heather Toney 3–1
Angharad Bessent Smith Loughor WMC, Swansea Beat Gaynor Jones 3–0
Kelly Stevens Newark Railway Sports & Social Club Beat Nikki Rainbow 3–0
Amanda Harwood Pinches Cue Club, Norwich Beat Lynsey Childs 3–2

Janet Hardman recorded the highest WADC average of the day, 69.91 against Molly Brash, while Stacey Price produced 66.80 against Emma Tapp.

Angharad Bessent Smith also impressed, recording 63.51 in the Swansea final.

These competitions may not always produce the headline averages, but they are an important part of grassroots darts. Regular competitive opportunities matter, and it's encouraging to see the WADC programme continuing across so many venues.

Junior Volts: Ben Lundstrom breaks 100 as eight competitions take place

Jayden Walker's 115.62 wasn't the only excellent performance from Monday's Junior Volts programme.

There were eight Junior Volts competitions in the results, with some very encouraging averages.

Ben Lundstrom produces 100.20

At McNamara's Sports Bar and Academy, Ben Lundstrom defeated Ralph Healing 3–0 in the final, finishing with six victories.

Lundstrom produced an outstanding 100.20 average against Freddie Kaufman and followed that with 88.41 in the final.

He also recorded 78.93 against Francis Woods.

Healing finished with five victories and recorded 76.42 against William Shaw.

That's an impressive collection of performances from Lundstrom, particularly when you consider he backed up his three-figure average by winning the tournament.

Cooper Cornish wins at Highbridge

At Highbridge Social Club, Cooper Cornish defeated Tai Anderson 3–2, winning six matches.

Cornish produced the highest average of the competition, 74.00 in the final, while Anderson recorded 72.31 in the same match.

Cornish also recorded 69.14 and 68.32 during the evening.

Archie O'Driscoll finished with five victories, while Anderson collected four.

A good competitive final, with Cornish doing enough to take the title.

Alongside those results, Mason Lyon produced an 81.24 average in Milton Keynes, Noah Howe recorded 71.00 in Uttoxeter and Jamie Johnson collected eight victories in Lancing.

The junior competitions are becoming an increasingly interesting part of these daily reports. Walker's performance was exceptional, but there are plenty of other youngsters producing good darts on a regular basis.

Monday's highest recorded averages

Here are the leading individual match averages from the named tournaments in Monday's report.

These are individual match averages, not tournament-wide averages. The separate entry labelled "Retry later" has been excluded.

My five standout performances

  1. Jayden Walker – Nine victories, two averages above 100 and a remarkable 115.62 in the Junior Volts competition at Salisbury.
  2. Lee Evans – A 109.98 average in the Llanelli final, backed up by several other performances above 90.
  3. Ben Lundstrom – A 100.20 Junior Volts average, followed by an 88.41 performance in the final.
  4. Carl Batchelor – Eight victories at Smallthorne, with averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 91.09.
  5. Vince Tipple – Seven victories and the Bengeworth title, coming through a close final against Paul Jones.

Special mentions go to Jonathan Kavanagh, Mike Huntley, Connor Hopkins, Ashley Melvin and Scott Mc.

Another 58 tournaments added to Q4QS

Monday's results offered another reminder of just how much is happening across grassroots darts.

There were excellent performances from experienced players, some impressive local tournament victories and another strong showing from the Junior Volts.

For me, the biggest story was Jayden Walker's 115.62. It's not every day that a junior player produces the highest average across an entire day's results.

But there was plenty more to appreciate.

Lee Evans delivered his best darts in a final, Vince Tipple came through a competitive field in Evesham, and seven WADC competitions provided more opportunities for women to compete.

With another 58 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database, all of these results contribute to the growing picture of player performance across the country.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Ryan Davies Hits 115.62, Jayden Walker Stars in Junior Volts and Seven WADC Winners – 12 October 2026

After Sunday's enormous programme of darts, Monday might have been expected to be a little quieter. Not particularly!

Another 61 tournaments were added to the Q4QS database, with some outstanding performances across England and Wales.

Ryan Davies produced a remarkable 115.62 average in Pontypridd, Michael Wiles averaged 112.73 in a final at Southend, and junior Jayden Walker hit 107.36 on his way to winning at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

There were also seven WADC competitions, including victories for Anna Pearce in Plymouth and Eve Watson in Swansea.

And closer to home, there were interesting results from Calne, Evesham, Minehead, Paignton and Radstock.

Ryan Davies produces Monday's highest genuine average

At Duffy's in Pontypridd, Ryan Davies produced the standout average of the entire day's results.

115.62 against Owen Chant.

That is an exceptional figure at any level of competitive darts.

But Davies didn't simply produce one outstanding match and disappear.

He added averages of 96.33 against Geraint Hill, 93.94 against Geraint Winder and 91.04 against Gavin Lloyd.

He went on to win the tournament, defeating Jonathan Davies 3–1 in the final and collecting seven victories.

Jonathan Davies and Elis Snooks both recorded six wins.

It's exactly the sort of performance that deserves attention. A huge individual average is impressive, but combining it with several other strong matches and the tournament title makes it a much more complete story.

Michael Wiles hits 112.73 in the final

One of the most impressive features of Monday's results was the number of players producing their best darts when it mattered most.

At The Len Forge Centre in Southend, Michael Wiles recorded 112.73 in the final against Les Newson, winning 3–0.

Wiles finished with eight victories and also recorded 88.41 against Lennie Holmes.

Chris Galway produced 95.17 and 91.94, collecting six victories, while Graham Mills also recorded six wins.

A 112-plus average in a final is particularly noteworthy, and Wiles deserves a place among the day's leading performers.

Jayden Walker's remarkable junior performance in Salisbury

Perhaps the most exciting story of the day came from the JDC Junior Volts.

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Jayden Walker won eight matches and defeated Maverick Hurkett 3–1 in the final.

His highest average?

107.36 against Beau Murton.

He also recorded 91.09 against Sophie Newman and 79.11 against Emily Purse.

Hurkett reached 88.41 and collected five victories, while Jake Bertenshaw hit 81.24 and won four matches.

I always think performances like this deserve particular attention.

We're accustomed to seeing three-figure averages in professional darts, but a 107.36 in a junior competition is a tremendous achievement.

And Walker didn't just record the big average. He backed it up with eight wins and the title.

Definitely one to keep an eye on.

Tai Anderson wins at Highbridge

Another strong junior performance came at Highbridge Social Club.

Tai Anderson defeated Cooper Cornish 3–0 in the final, collecting six victories.

Anderson recorded 88.41 against Bode Cosker, while Cornish produced 83.50, 79.11 and 77.08 during his own run.

Both players finished with six victories.

The competition produced several good averages and another useful addition to the growing Q4QS junior database.

Ralph Healing wins a high-quality junior final

At McNamara's Sports Bar and Academy, Ralph Healing defeated Ben Lundstrom 3–1 in the final.

Lundstrom actually produced the highest average of the competition, 92.41 in that final, while Healing recorded 85.98.

Archie Hazell also hit 88.41.

Both finalists collected six victories.

It was a strong event, and another reminder that the quality of junior darts extends well beyond the biggest names.

Jason Reeve takes the Evesham title

At The Bengeworth in Evesham, Jason Reeve won the Monday Vault, defeating Dave Honey 3–2 in the final.

Reeve collected six victories and recorded averages of 85.08, 81.98 and 80.52.

The highest average of the event belonged to Andy Hammond, who hit 98.02 against Lance Gregson.

Honey finished with four wins and Colin Day collected three.

What makes Reeve's victory interesting is that he had reached the final at Bretforton Sports Club on Sunday, losing to Liam George Elliott.

Twenty-four hours later, he was back in another final and this time took the title.

That's a very good couple of days in the Evesham area.

Calne: Scott Mc wins, Josh McCarthy hits 107.36

At North Star Club in Calne, Scott Mc won the Vault, defeating Rich Griffee 3–1 in the final.

Scott collected seven victories, with Griffee finishing on six.

But the headline average belonged to Josh McCarthy.

He recorded 107.36 against Robin Hardy, along with 88.41 against Michael Davies.

Callum Davey and Rich Griffee both reached 93.94, while Scott Mc produced 91.09.

With 62 matches recorded, it was a competitive evening and another strong set of figures from one of the South's established Vault venues.

Minehead: David Farmer beats Steve Boundy

At The Banckers Draught in Minehead, David Farmer defeated Steve Boundy 3–1 in the final.

Farmer collected seven victories and recorded 86.65 in the deciding match.

Boundy, who has featured regularly in recent Q4QS coverage, hit 88.41 against Robbie Hamblin and finished with five wins.

The highest average came from Stuart Milton, who recorded 93.94 against Callum Clifton.

It's another good result for Farmer and another final appearance for Boundy.

Paignton: David Dodds wins at 8 Ball Bar & Sports

At 8 Ball Bar & Sports in Paignton, David Dodds won the Vault, defeating Luke Grantham 3–0 in the final.

Dodds collected seven victories, while Grantham and Jamie Chamberlain each recorded six.

Chamberlain led the averages with 91.09 against Brandon Corley, adding 83.50 against Jayden Brent.

Grantham reached 85.89, while Finlay Cleave produced two separate 81.24 averages.

Another busy Monday tournament in Devon.

Johnny Haines continues his excellent form

After winning at Frimley Green on Sunday, Johnny Haines returned to the winners' circle at GWRSA Club in Didcot.

And his performance was exceptional.

Haines recorded:

  • 101.20 against Roger Crook
  • 100.20 against Ryan Cooper
  • 99.53 against Steve Rideout
  • 99.20 in the final against Stu Rideout
  • 98.02 against Harry Brannan

He won eight matches and defeated Stu Rideout 3–1 in the final.

Five recorded averages between 98.02 and 101.20 tell a story of sustained quality rather than one outstanding match.

For me, this is one of Monday's most impressive complete tournament performances.

Dan Nicholls hits 103.66, but Elis Cross takes Bostin title

Dan Nicholls has been one of the major stories of recent days, winning twice on Sunday.

At Bostin Darts 180 Bar in Blackheath on Monday, he was once again among the leading performers.

Nicholls hit 103.66 against Lee Craig, 93.94 against Michael Powell and 91.09 against Daz Cooper.

However, this time the tournament title went to Elis Cross.

Cross defeated Michael Powell 3–1 in the final, collecting seven victories and recording 91.09 against Alfie Shipley.

Powell finished with six wins and also recorded 93.94.

It's a useful reminder that even outstanding scoring doesn't guarantee the title.

More outstanding Vault performances

Several other results deserve attention.

Jack Main – The Greyhound, Diss

Jack Main won seven matches, defeated Callum Page 3–0 in the final and recorded 107.36 and 104.86 during his run.

Neil Ward – Newark Railway Sports & Social Club

Neil Ward hit 107.36 against Nathan Stevens and went on to win the tournament, defeating Ethan Dunn 3–0.

Jamie Durrant – The Lockdown Bar and Kitchen, Runcorn

Jamie Durrant defeated Harley Lewis-Rowlands 3–0 in the final, recording eight victories. Harley hit 107.36 earlier in the competition.

Kevin Leadenham – The Rewind Sports Bar, Sleaford

Kevin Leadenham won eight matches and defeated Chris Fidler 3–1 in the final. Richard Spicer recorded a superb 111.33, while Bradley Butler reached 100.20.

Tyler Thorpe – Daventry Town Football Club

Tyler Thorpe collected seven victories and defeated Michael Feasey 3–1 in the final. He recorded 103.66, 90.18 and 88.74.

Adrian Lingard – Pendle Super Series

Adrian Lingard won nine matches, defeated Freddie Thompson 3–1 in the final and recorded 100.20 against Dave Graham.

Shane Turner – Riverside Club, Wycombe

Shane Turner defeated Stuart Dutton 3–0 in the final, with both players recording seven wins. Dutton hit 100.20 and 95.94.

Mark Stafford – Sidley Working Men's Club

Mark Stafford collected eight victories and defeated John Campbell 3–0 in the final, recording 100.20, 93.94, 90.75 and 88.41.

There was plenty of quality spread across the country.

Wales: Lee Evans, Kurt Parry and Dorian Thomas among the winners

The Welsh Vault circuit produced another strong Monday.

At Cambrian Sports Bar in Llanelli, Lee Evans defeated Liam Hughes 3–0 in the final, collecting eight victories and recording 93.94, 90.18, 88.41 and 86.71.

At Clive Arms in Cardiff, Kurt Parry defeated Edward Manley 3–1 in the final.

Parry recorded three separate 93.94 averages, as well as 91.83 in the final, finishing with eight wins.

At Cardigan Rugby Club, Dorian Thomas defeated Justin Smith 3–2. Both players recorded eight victories, while Jason Jones, Dorian Thomas, Steffan Thomas and Justin Smith all reached at least 91.09.

Other Welsh winners included Craig Devlin in Maesteg, Stephen Castle in Ystalyfera, Spencer Edwards at Broadway Social Club and Liam Cook at Cwmbran Working Men's Band Club.

The depth of competitive darts across Wales continues to stand out in the daily data.

WADC: Seven Monday competitions and some excellent performances

There were seven WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Monday's results, including a particularly strong performance from Kim Holden.

Derby Arms, Birkenhead

Kim Holden defeated Janet Hardman 3–0 in the final.

Holden recorded 90.18 in the final, along with 83.50, 73.92 and 68.32 during the event.

That's an outstanding sequence of averages and arguably the WADC performance of the day.

Legends Lounge, Plymouth

Anna Pearce won the Plymouth competition, defeating Hayley Brant 2–0 in the final.

Pearce collected four victories and recorded the highest average of the event, 65.35 against Ruth Thomson.

Brant finished with three wins and recorded 55.67.

Loughor WMC, Swansea

Eve Watson defeated Sioned Jones 3–0 in the final, collecting five victories.

Watson produced 70.45, 66.80, 58.94 and 55.67.

Another strong tournament performance.

Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury

Emma Tapp defeated Nessa Hall 3–0 in the final.

Tapp recorded 58.56 and 57.81, while Stacey Price led the event averages with 63.96.

Newark Railway Sports & Social Club

Kelly Stevens defeated Sienna Beck 3–0 in the final, collecting five victories.

Stevens recorded 57.81, 54.65, 52.76 and 50.10.

Pinches Cue Club, Norwich

Vikki Tasker defeated Lynsey Childs 3–1 in the final.

Both players collected four victories, while Childs recorded 54.65 and 54.33.

Red Rose Darts Hub, Preston

Andrea Holland defeated Eileen Harrison 3–1 in the final.

Holland and Celia Allen both collected six victories, while Wendy Murray recorded the event's highest average of 60.12.

Seven separate competitions on a Monday evening is encouraging.

It's particularly good to see events in Plymouth and Swansea alongside those in the Midlands, North West and East of England.

The more regular opportunities there are to compete, the stronger the foundations of women's darts become.

Junior darts deserves the headlines

The JDC Junior Volts events produced some of Monday's biggest stories.

Alongside Jayden Walker, Tai Anderson and Ralph Healing, there were other winners worth mentioning.

At Barry Town United AFC, Samuel Orpin defeated Joey-James Hill 3–0, collecting six wins. Elijah Bishop recorded the highest average of 56.72.

At The Empire Clubs in Lancing, Manny Taylor defeated Jamie Johnson 3–1 in the final. Ethan Yates recorded 77.53 and Cris Sunderland Bowe reached 75.61.

And in the Social Bull Under-18 Winter League, Riley Williams defeated George Freeman 3–0, with both players recording five wins. Freeman hit 73.65 and Williams 71.57.

It's particularly pleasing that a junior player topped the averages on the South West results graphic.

Jayden Walker's 107.36 deserves to be celebrated every bit as much as the leading adult performances.

My five standout performances

There were plenty of contenders, but these are my five leading stories from Monday.

  1. Ryan Davies – A 115.62 average and the tournament title at Duffy's in Pontypridd.
  2. Johnny Haines – Five averages above 98 and eight victories at Didcot, following Sunday's title at Frimley Green.
  3. Jayden Walker – A 107.36 junior average, eight wins and the Salisbury Junior Volts title.
  4. Michael Wiles – A 112.73 average in the final at Southend.
  5. Kim Holden – A 90.18 average in the WADC final at Birkenhead, backed by several other strong performances.

Jack Main, Josh McCarthy, Richard Spicer, Neil Ward and Tyler Thorpe also deserve recognition.

Another Monday, another substantial set of results

What I particularly like about Monday's results is the mixture.

We've got players producing averages above 110, a junior winner recording 107.36, established competitors maintaining excellent form, and seven WADC competitions contributing to the wider picture.

There are also some interesting stories beginning to develop from one day to the next.

Jason Reeve bounced back from Sunday's final defeat to win in Evesham. Johnny Haines won again after Sunday's Frimley Green success. And Dan Nicholls remained among the leading scorers, even though he didn't take another title.

These are exactly the patterns and performances I want Q4QS to help uncover.

All the results contribute to the growing player records, venue histories and rankings.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Jayden Walker Hits 100.20 as 29 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 28 September 2026

Monday brought another 29 tournaments into the Q4QS database, with a mixture of Vaults, Junior Volts, restricted-average competitions and the PDC World Championship qualifier.

For me, the grassroots performance of the day came from Salisbury, where junior Jayden Walker hit a superb 100.20 and went on to win the tournament.

Roger Crook also hit 100.20 on his way to winning in Didcot, while Josh McCarthy won a close final at North Star in Calne and Alfie Barney had an excellent night at Clandown.

Jayden Walker breaks 100 in Salisbury

The standout grassroots number of the day came at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Jayden Walker averaged 100.20 in a 3–0 victory over Leo Fowler in the Junior Volts Series 1.

Walker then went on to win the tournament, beating Jacob Stott 3–0 in the final, and finished with 12 wins across the recorded results.

We've seen plenty of promising junior performances appearing in Q4QS, but a three-figure average deserves attention at any level.

Roger Crook wins in Didcot – and hits 100.20

There was another three-figure average at the GWRSA Club in Didcot, where Roger Crook won the Vault.

Crook's best performance was an excellent 100.20 in a 2–0 victory over Simon Goswell. He also recorded an 83.50 and accumulated 14 wins across the results.

Stephen Wilkes also finished with 14 recorded wins, while Preben Krabben reached ten.

Josh McCarthy takes North Star title in Calne

There was a close finish at North Star Club in Calne, where Josh McCarthy beat Scott Mc 3–2 in the final.

McCarthy averaged 80.44 in the decider, having previously beaten Gary Hiscock 3–2 in the semi-final.

Scott Mc actually produced the higher average in the final at 87.82, having also hit 90.18 in a 3–0 semi-final victory over Mitch McCarthy.

So although McCarthy took the title, Scott produced two of the strongest numbers in the knockout stages.

Alfie Barney wins at Clandown

At Clandown Darts Promotions, Alfie Barney put together a strong night in the Monday Under-65 Round Robin.

Barney beat Jayden Osmond 3–0 in the final, hit the tournament's highest recorded average of 77.74 and finished with 16 wins.

Osmond accumulated 14 wins, Freddie Keen 12 and Eddie Hughes ten, with Hughes reaching a best of 75.20.

With 124 matches recorded, there was plenty of darts played at Clandown on Monday.

Carl Wilson secures his World Championship place

Away from the grassroots events, there was a much bigger prize at stake in the PDC UK & Ireland Tour Card Holder & Associate Member World Championship Qualifier.

Carl Wilson beat Shane McGuirk 7–4 in the final to secure the World Championship place.

The biggest average of the entire day's export actually came from Darren Beveridge, who hit 106.09 in a 6–0 victory over Daniel Ayres.

Ted Evetts reached 102.48, while Jack Aldridge recorded 101.60.

Wilson finished with 16 recorded wins across the qualifier.

Strong night across the Welsh Vaults

There were three Welsh Monday Vaults worth picking out.

At Cardigan Rugby Club, Dorian Thomas beat Justin Smith 3–2 in the final.

Both Thomas and Smith reached 93.94 during the tournament, while Danny Williams recorded 91.09. Dorian finished with 12 wins and Justin with ten.

At the Clive Arms in Cardiff, William Thomas beat Edward Manley 3–0 in the final, averaging an excellent 93.94.

Manley also had a strong night, reaching 91.09 and 88.41 and accumulating 14 wins across the results.

At Duffys in Pontypridd, Kurt Parry beat Marc Saunders 3–0, averaging 86.71 in the final. Parry finished with 16 wins and also recorded an 82.47.

Tyler Thorpe wins in Daventry

At Daventry Town Football Club, Tyler Thorpe beat Michael Feasey 3–1 in the final.

Thorpe produced the highest average of the tournament with 90.18 and also recorded 86.78.

Feasey reached 86.71 and accumulated ten wins across the available results.

Two winners in Paignton

There was another busy night at 8 Ball Bar & Sports in Paignton, with two sets of Vault results included in the export.

Andy Steed beat Alfie Hutton 3–0 in the final. George Butcher produced the best average at 82.72, Harry Madge reached 81.24 and Steed recorded a best of 80.40.

The second competition went to Chris Tuck, who beat Josh Rose 3–1 in the final.

Kirky Godbeer produced the highest listed average in that event at 72.25, while both Godbeer and Rose accumulated ten wins.

More Junior Volts winners

Salisbury wasn't the only Junior Volts venue in action.

At Barry Town United, Henry Pearson beat Elijah Bishop 3–1 in the final, with Pearson also producing the best average of 67.21.

Zach Joyce won in Milton Keynes, beating Mika Usher-Yu in the final. Usher-Yu produced the best recorded average there at 79.11.

At Lancing, Jamie Johnson beat Morgan McGinty 3–1, while Ethan Yates recorded a best of 75.15.

There was plenty of junior darts again, but Walker's 100.20 in Salisbury was clearly the number that stood out.

A few more Monday winners

There were other performances worth mentioning beyond the headline events.

At the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield, David Hitchman beat Riley Smith 3–0 in the final and recorded an 81.24 during the competition.

At Broadway Social Club, George Humphreys beat Callum Davies 3–1 to win the CEC Heavyweight Championship Evening. Shaun Barnes produced the highest recorded average there at 79.11.

At Legends Sports Bar in Wisbech, Sid Stovold beat Tony Chapman 3–2. Chapman produced the strongest numbers at the event, including 88.24, 87.11 and 85.08.

Five grassroots performances that caught my eye

  1. Jayden Walker – 100.20 — Stratford Social Club, Salisbury
  2. Roger Crook – 100.20 — GWRSA Club, Didcot
  3. Dorian Thomas – 93.94 — Cardigan Rugby Club
  4. William Thomas – 93.94 — Clive Arms, Cardiff
  5. Scott Mc – 90.18 — North Star Club, Calne

The PDC qualifier sits separately, where Darren Beveridge's 106.09 was the highest recorded average in Monday's complete export.

29 more tournaments into Q4QS

It wasn't as busy as the weekend, but another 29 tournaments still gives us plenty to add to the database.

There were strong performances from established players, plenty of Junior Volts action, competitive Monday Vaults and good nights at venues including Salisbury, Calne, Clandown, Paignton, Didcot and across Wales.

But the number I'll remember from Monday is 100.20 from Jayden Walker.

A junior breaking the three-figure barrier and then going on to win the tournament is a pretty good story to start the week.
