Another busy night of grassroots darts saw 47 tournaments added to the Q4QS database, with Thursday's calendar once again dominated by Vault 18 events alongside popular local round robins across the South West and beyond. From Worcester to Yeovil, Hangar61 to Plymouth, there were plenty of standout performances and memorable stories.
South West Spotlight
John Brown claims Hangar61 title
One of the strongest local fields of the evening assembled at Hangar61, Patchway, and it was John Brown who came through to claim the Thursday Night Round Robin title with a 3-1 victory over Liam Moore in the final.
Brown won nine matches on the night and continued his excellent recent run of form, but there was another moment that will be remembered for some time.
Ashton Brown produced a spectacular nine-dart finish during his quarter-final against Nathan Treadgold. Despite achieving darts' perfect leg, Ashton was edged out by Treadgold in a memorable contest that became one of the talking points of the evening. It was a reminder that even perfection doesn't always guarantee victory in a high-quality field.
Antony Butler impresses in Worcester
At Vault 18.0 @ The Cue Corner, Worcester, Antony Butler produced one of the standout displays of the night. He defeated Steve Sewell 3-0 in the final and recorded a superb 103.66 average, while also producing another 100.20 average during the competition.
Mike Harper victorious in Yeovil
There was more South West success at Yeovil Labour Club, where Mike Harper lifted the Vault title with a 3-0 victory over Callum Harrison. Harper won eight matches during the evening and consistently produced the highest standard at the venue.
Scott Lawrey takes Plymouth honours
At Legends Lounge, Plymouth, Scott Lawrey defeated Andy Steed 3-1 in the final. Steed produced an excellent 98.02 average during the event, but Lawrey held his nerve to collect another Vault title.
Lee Evans continues winning run
Lee Evans added another title at Galaxy Sports Bar, Torquay, defeating Tristan Perry 3-0 in the final. It continues an excellent spell for Evans, who has been one of the most consistent performers on the South West circuit over recent weeks.
Tommy Sperring wins another Round Robin
At DartAsylum HQ, Tommy Sperring edged Charlie Grabham 4-3 in another entertaining final. Sperring's consistency continues to shine through, with yet another title added to his growing collection.
Standout Performances
Several players produced exceptional averages during Thursday's action:
- William Thomas – 111.33 (The Bird, Maesteg)
- Andy Smith – 108.22 (Cressex Social Club, High Wycombe)
- Shane Lawrence – 107.36 (Deers Leap Round Robin)

Closer to home, Miles O'Toole (96.97) and Nathan Treadgold (93.94) also produced excellent darts at Hangar61 despite narrowly missing out on the title.
Another Busy Night for Q4QS
With another 47 tournaments processed, the Q4QS database continues to build an ever-clearer picture of grassroots darts across the UK. Congratulations to all of Thursday's winners, and a special mention to Ashton Brown, whose nine-dart leg at Hangar61 provided one of the standout moments of the week.
