Saturday delivered one of the strongest days of grassroots darts we've seen in the Q4QS results for some time, with 29 tournaments added to the database and some exceptional numbers produced across the country.
There were three separate 111.33 averages, another above 107, plenty of ton-plus darts – and one performance which went even further.
Llew Bevan produces a huge 115.62
The standout number of the entire day belonged to Llew Bevan at the Terry Griffiths Matchroom in Llanelli.
Bevan produced a remarkable 115.62 average in a 2–0 victory over Finlay Andrews, but this wasn't simply one spectacular match.
He also recorded averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 91.09 during an excellent tournament before beating Justin Hughes 3–0 in the final.
Bevan finished with eight wins, while Hughes collected six and Morgan Thomas, Oscar Bourne and Scott Blair each won five.
A 115.62 will inevitably grab the headlines, but the consistency around it made Bevan's overall tournament particularly impressive.
Quiney takes the Doc Neale Memorial
Closer to the usual Q4QS heartland, Joe Quiney enjoyed an excellent day at The 2nd Annual Doc Neale Memorial at Wotton Hall Social Club.
Quiney defeated Harry Williams 6–3 in the final, completing a six-win tournament.
There was plenty of quality behind the victory as well. Quiney recorded a 90.45 against Josh Lewis, an 89.61 against Chris Hartrey and another 87.56 against Kieran Smith.
Hartrey actually produced the tournament's highest individual average with 93.94, while Williams reached the final after a run which included an 87.91 against Shaun Vernall.
It was a strong field and an impressive title for Quiney.
Gemma Hayter wins WADC Event 5
There was plenty of interest at Bradmoor Farm as the latest WADC Winmau Championship South action got underway.
Gemma Hayter emerged victorious from Event 5, edging Vicky Pruim 5–4 in the final.
Hayter also produced the highest average of the event, an excellent 95.43, while Fallon Sherrock wasn't far behind with 93.77.
Pruim's route to the final included an impressive 5–1 victory over Sherrock, but it was Hayter who ultimately claimed the title after six wins during the competition.
Huge numbers from Haines and Rowley
Llew Bevan wasn't alone in producing some extraordinary numbers on Saturday.
Johnny Haines recorded a 111.33 average at Burghfield Community Sports Association – and went on to win the tournament.
Haines beat Steven Jenkinson 3–0 in the final, averaging 95.94, and also produced three separate 93.94 performances during an outstanding seven-win campaign.
Remarkably, Paul Rowley also averaged exactly 111.33 at Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury.
Rowley went on to defeat Matt Elsey 3–2 in the final and finished with eight victories. Elsey himself enjoyed an excellent competition, winning seven matches and producing a 93.76.
Arun Grewal comes through a marathon event
One of the busiest competitions in Saturday's data was the Saturday Night Money In Money Out KO, with 169 matches recorded.
Arun Grewal eventually emerged victorious, defeating Jack Divall 4–3 in the final and collecting nine wins across the tournament.
Grewal also produced a 91.09 average during his run.
Daryl Hunt recorded the tournament's highest average at 100.20, while Bobby Vickors reached 93.94. Dave Fisher accumulated eight victories, with Mason Dower, Teddy Penston and finalist Divall all winning seven.
Coleman takes ADC Championship South Event 10
There was a huge amount of action at Bradmoor Farm in the men's ADC Winmau Championship South Event 10, with 207 matches recorded.
Ashley Coleman came through the field to beat Harry Lane 5–1 in the final, completing an eight-win tournament.
One of Saturday's other monster averages came from Chas Barstow, who hit 111.33, while Jack Drayton produced 103.66. Darren Brown reached 98.25, Adam Beck 98.09 and Jamie Kay 97.24.
Coleman ultimately took the title, but the depth of scoring showed just how competitive the tournament was.
A Saturday packed with big performances
Saturday's results underline why tracking the grassroots game in detail can uncover performances that might otherwise pass almost unnoticed.
The day's top five recorded averages alone were extraordinary:
Llew Bevan – 115.62
Chas Barstow – 111.33
Johnny Haines – 111.33
Paul Rowley – 111.33
Dan Baker – 107.36
And even that doesn't include the 103.66 from Jack Drayton or three further 100.20 performances recorded during the day.
For Q4QS, though, there was plenty beyond the numbers: Quiney's Doc Neale Memorial victory, Hayter taking WADC Event 5, Coleman winning a huge ADC field and Grewal battling through nine victories.
29 more tournaments are now in the Q4QS database – and Saturday provided some outstanding additions.
