Yesterday's Darts Results: Kelson Hughes Hits 115.62, Ryan Palmer Shines in Gloucester and Johnny Haines Wins Again – 13 October 2026

Tuesday evenings are rapidly becoming one of the busiest nights of the grassroots darts week, and this one certainly didn't disappoint.

Another 91 tournaments were added to the Q4QS database, bringing together ADC Vault 19, WADC Vault 3.0, Junior Volts, academy events and independent competitions across England and Wales.

And there were some extraordinary averages.

Kelson Hughes hit 115.62 in Denbigh, Steve Haggerty produced 112.73 and 107.36 in Arnold, and Ryan Palmer averaged 109.98 in the final at Widden Rugby Club in Gloucester.

Meanwhile, Johnny Haines continued his winning streak, Ryan Greenslade took the Taunton Under-70 title, and there were eight WADC competitions, including another impressive victory for Eve Watson.

Plenty to get through!

Ryan Palmer produces a 109.98 final in Gloucester

One of the performances that really caught my attention came at Widden Rugby Club in Gloucester.

Ryan Palmer defeated Alfie Ryan 3–0 in the final, recording an exceptional 109.98 average.

He also produced two separate 107.36 averages, against Paul Allen and Daniel Jeffrey, during his run to the title.

Palmer finished with eight victories, while Alfie Ryan collected six.

It's one thing producing a three-figure average in an early round, but doing it in the final, with the tournament on the line, makes it particularly impressive.

Palmer has featured regularly in the Q4QS results, and this was another significant performance.

It was certainly worthy of the headline position on yesterday's South West graphic.

Kelson Hughes hits 115.62 in Denbigh

The highest average in Tuesday's tournament export came at Castle Arms in Denbigh.

Kelson Hughes produced a remarkable 115.62 against Lucas Martin.

He also recorded 85.89 against Peter Martin and finished with five victories.

But despite that extraordinary scoring, the tournament winner was Baz Tym, who defeated Peter Martin 3–0 in the final.

Tym collected seven victories, while Allan McGuire recorded six.

It's one of the fascinating things about darts. A player can produce the best individual performance of the night and still not win the competition.

Steve Haggerty delivers a scoring masterclass

At Arnold Victory Club, Steve Haggerty produced one of the most complete high-scoring performances of the evening.

His recorded averages included:

• 112.73 against Austin Tetley
• 107.36 against Jenson Snowdon
• 100.20 against Jack Morris

Three averages above 100 in one tournament is impressive at any level.

Haggerty went on to win the event, defeating Toby Saunders 3–0 in the final.

Saunders also produced a 103.66 average during the competition, so there was plenty of quality on show.

For me, Haggerty's combination of three-figure scoring and the title makes this one of Tuesday's standout tournament performances.

Johnny Haines makes it three winning days in a row

Some players are capable of a brilliant evening. Others manage to keep producing the goods night after night.

Johnny Haines is firmly in the second category at the moment.

After winning at Frimley Green on Sunday and Didcot on Monday, Haines was back in the winners' circle at St John's Club in Banbury on Tuesday.

He defeated Matt Kershaw 3–2 in the final, collecting eight victories.

Haines also recorded 107.36 against Steve Tombs.

Kershaw certainly contributed to a high-quality event, recording 103.66 against Scott Wills, while Luke Stallwood reached 100.20.

Three titles in three days is a remarkable run, particularly with the standard of opposition and scoring involved.

Haines is becoming one of the stories of the week.

Andy Steed wins in Tiverton

At Elmore Football Club in Tiverton, Andy Steed defeated Junior Howard 3–0 in the final.

Steed collected seven victories and recorded 95.94 in the final, as well as 85.08 against Gareth Parker.

Tom Head was another standout performer, producing 91.09 against James Head and 85.89 against James Sewell.

Howard and Head each finished with five wins.

A strong night of darts in Devon, and another good result for Steed.

Liam Trotman takes Portishead Tuesday Open

At Portishead Workmens Darts, Liam Trotman won the Tuesday Open, defeating Max Maggs 3–0 in the final.

Trotman collected eight victories and recorded the highest average of the competition, 93.94 against Riley Trotman.

He also hit 80.42 against Christopher Staples and 76.42 against Jenson Dyer.

John Maggs and Max Maggs both finished with six victories, with John recording 81.24.

One important distinction: this was an open tournament offering a prize for the furthest-progressing Under-55 player, rather than a tournament restricted entirely to Under-55 competitors.

Ryan Greenslade wins Taunton Under-70 Super Series

The Taunton U70 Round-Robin Super Series 10.0 continued at Darts @ The Lawns.

Ryan Greenslade defeated James Wellbelove 4–0 in the final, collecting an impressive nine victories.

Greenslade recorded 86.71 against Cameron Adams and 81.24 against Alan Forrest.

Wellbelove finished with seven wins, while Brooklyn Anthony and Tyler Davey each recorded six.

For a competition operating with an Under-70 average format, Greenslade's 86.71 match average was a particularly notable performance.

John Hawkins wins at Bessellscotts, Bristol

At Bessellscotts in Bristol, John Hawkins took the Tuesday Vault title with a 3–2 final victory over Ian Rafferty.

Hawkins collected seven victories, with Thomas Goodrich, Cian McCassey and Rafferty each recording four.

McCassey produced the highest match average of the competition, 71.57 against Joe Gliddon.

It wasn't the highest-scoring event of the evening, but a close five-leg final and seven wins for Hawkins made it a well-earned title.

Josh McCarthy follows Monday's 107.36 with a Swindon title

Here's another developing story worth following.

On Monday, Josh McCarthy recorded 107.36 at North Star Club in Calne.

On Tuesday, he won the Vault at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, defeating Scott Mc 3–2 in the final.

McCarthy also produced a 104.50 average against Dave Legg.

That's an impressive couple of evenings, and exactly the sort of consecutive-day form that can easily be missed when looking at tournaments individually.

McCarthy is certainly worth watching.

More South West and southern highlights

There was plenty happening across the wider region.

Chris Gill – Indian Queens, Cornwall

Chris Gill defeated Jack Nankervis 3–1 in the final, collecting seven victories. He recorded 100.20 and 96.97, while Scott Hill hit 95.94 and 93.94.

Jack Bellingham – Portland, Dorset

Jack Bellingham defeated Adam McKay 3–1 in the final, producing an 86.87 average in the deciding match.

Robbie Martin – The Newtown, Poole

Robbie Martin defeated Matt Yarrow 3–1 in the final. Tommy Brooks produced the highest average, 100.20.

Archie Self – Crucible Sports and Social Club, Newbury

Archie Self defeated Jason Heaver 3–1 in the final, with a superb 106.64 against Matthew Fifield and 98.02 against Igor Kuroczycki.

Samuel Palmer – Fareham Social Club

Samuel Palmer collected eight victories and defeated Ben Rowley 3–1 in the final. Rowley recorded 93.94 and 88.41 during his run.

Keegan Brown – Ambassador Freehouse, Isle of Wight

Keegan Brown defeated Tom Dibben 3–1 in the final, collecting eight victories and recording 95.94 against Jay Moore.

Joey Cole – Eastleigh

Joey Cole defeated Jarred Cole 3–0 in the final at Locomotive Engineers Social Club. Both players collected seven victories, while Jarred recorded the event's highest average of 93.94.

The southern Vault circuit continues to provide plenty of quality and a useful mix of established names and developing players.

C-Jay Pipe hits 111.33, but Dave Fisher wins Railway Inn title

One of the best individual averages outside the Vault events came at Darts @ The Railway Inn.

C-Jay Pipe recorded 111.33 against Ryzinger Willis, as well as 96.97 against Rich Hill.

However, Dave Fisher emerged as the tournament winner, defeating Pipe 3–2 in the final.

Fisher collected nine victories, while Pipe finished with seven.

Another example of a huge average not necessarily translating into the title.

Tyler Thorpe hits 104.86 and wins again

At the MDC Round Robin, Tyler Thorpe defeated Darren Malt 4–3 in the final, collecting seven victories.

Thorpe produced 104.86 against Olly Grist, along with 96.97, 91.09 and 90.18.

That's a very strong collection of averages across a single event.

Thorpe had also won at Daventry on Monday, so this represents another impressive consecutive-day performance.

Kirk Shepherd, Patrik Williams and more big averages

There were several other performances that deserve recognition.

Kirk Shepherd – Pendlebury Social Club, Manchester

Kirk Shepherd defeated Steve Green 3–1 in the final, collecting eight victories and recording 107.36, 101.67 and 100.20.

Patrik Williams – JJ's Pool Hall, Liverpool

Patrik Williams defeated Ellis Hancock 3–1 in the final and recorded 110.08 against Kevin Garcia, who averaged 100.94 in the same match.

David Evans – Fairway Fusion, Leyland

David Evans won six matches, defeated Andy An 3–0 in the final and recorded 100.20, 92.02, 88.41, 85.08 and 83.50.

Jack Main – Hethersett Social Club

Jack Main defeated Darren Brown 3–2 in the final. Mark Sadler recorded 107.36, while Brown hit 97.80 in the final.

Mark Hurst – The Brookside, Syston

Mark Hurst defeated Declan Cragg 3–1 in the final and recorded 99.40 against Andrew Hibbert, who had earlier hit 107.36.

Daniel Astbury – The Church Wicketts, Dawley

Daniel Astbury defeated Sam Hamilton 3–0 in the final, recording 92.44, 90.18 and 90.06.

With so many tournaments taking place simultaneously, these are the performances that help illustrate the depth of grassroots darts.

Wales: Connor Hopkins, Bobby Short and Lee Evans among the winners

Tuesday was another busy night across Wales.

At Lindsay Constitutional Club in Cefn Hengoed, Connor Hopkins defeated Keri Dacey 3–1 in the final, collecting seven victories.

Hopkins recorded 96.97 and 92.06, while Ryan Davies produced two separate 100.20 averages.

At Loughor Workingmen's Club in Swansea, Bobby Short defeated Liam Hughes 3–2 in the final.

Both players recorded seven victories, while Short produced 85.89, 81.24 and 80.52.

At Towy Sports Bar in Carmarthen, Lee Evans defeated Sion Thomas 3–2, recording 96.97 during the event.

Elsewhere, Dewi Beynon won at PILCS Club in Pontypool, Finley Bennett took the Tredegar title, and Baz Tym won at Castle Arms in Denbigh.

The Welsh circuit remains an important part of the growing Q4QS picture.

WADC: Eight competitions, with Eve Watson hitting 91.09

There were eight WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Tuesday's results.

And the standout individual performance came from Eve Watson at The 9 Darter in Port Talbot.

Watson won the competition, defeating Kirsten Casley 3–0 in the final, and recorded an outstanding 91.09 average against the same opponent.

That is a tremendous performance and deserves to be mentioned alongside the leading averages from the wider day's results.

The eight WADC winners were:

• Sue Davies – Castle Arms, Denbigh, defeating Gaynor Williams 3–2.
• Samantha Morrison – Cross Foxes, Prestatyn, defeating Sharon Jones 2–0.
• Lisa Brosnan – London GAA, Ruislip, defeating Cerys Skyrme-Davies 3–1.
• Louise Davies – Shooters Bar, Leominster, defeating Christine Sheen 3–0.
• Eve Watson – The 9 Darter, Port Talbot, defeating Kirsten Casley 3–0.
• Keisha Collins – The Empire Club, Lancing, defeating Bow Hart 3–1.
• Lynsey Childs – Trebles Darts, North Walsham, defeating Gemma Reynolds 3–1.
• Dani Kearns – Wiltshire Darts House, Swindon, defeating Chris Savvery 3–1.

Dani Kearns recorded 73.32 in Swindon, while Sue Davies reached 66.80 in Denbigh.

It's encouraging to see WADC events spread across Wales, the South West, London, the South East and East Anglia.

Eight competitions on a Tuesday evening gives plenty of players an opportunity to compete regularly.

And Watson's 91.09 is a reminder of the standard being produced.

Junior Volts: another tremendous Tuesday

Tuesday's JDC Junior Volts programme was extensive, with events across England and Wales.

Several players deserve particular attention.

Charlie Lowin – Soccer Zone, Halesowen

Charlie Lowin defeated Fraser Waterworth 3–1 in the final, collecting six victories and recording 90.18 against Liam Taylor.

Waterworth hit 88.41, while Codey Exall recorded 85.89.

Ashton John – Arrows, Resolven

Ashton John defeated Rhys Evans 3–1 in the final, collecting an impressive nine victories.

Evans recorded the event's highest average, 88.41, and finished with seven wins.

Jacob Godber – Maxi Lounge, Yate

Jacob Godber defeated Zak Read 3–0 in the final, winning six matches.

He also recorded 83.50 against Owen Porter and 72.73 against Elliott Bunting.

A particularly pleasing local result from Yate.

Luke Bennett – The Banckers Draught, Minehead

Luke Bennett defeated Charlie Ely 3–2 in the final, collecting six victories.

Ely recorded the event's highest average, 74.89, and finished with seven wins.

Jenson Macey – DiceHeads, Gosport

Jenson Macey defeated Sausage Sharp 3–1 in the final, collecting nine victories and recording 81.42 in the final.

Riley Sadd – Wyndham Arms, Ogmore Vale

Riley Sadd defeated Spencer Edwards 4–3 in the final, collecting nine victories.

Edwards produced 85.89 and finished with six wins.

Other Junior Volts winners included Daniel Ashton at Ellesmere Port, Seth White at Burnley, Rwais Barwais at Sheffield and Drew Catania on the Isle of Wight.

And outside Junior Volts, there were further youth and academy victories for Jake Whitehead, Joel Walton, Archie Cave, Hayden Dunlavey and Harley Glycos.

The junior programme is producing an extraordinary amount of competitive darts.

I think it's important that we continue to give these players proper coverage rather than simply placing their names at the bottom of a results list.

My standout performances of the day

With 91 tournaments recorded, narrowing this down isn't easy.

But these are the performances that caught my attention.

1. Steve Haggerty – 112.73, 107.36 and 100.20, plus the title at Arnold Victory Club.
2. Kelson Hughes – The day's highest recorded average, 115.62 in Denbigh.
3. Ryan Palmer – A magnificent 109.98 average in the final at Widden Rugby Club, Gloucester.
4. Johnny Haines – A third successive day's tournament victory, this time in Banbury, with a 107.36 average.
5. Patrik Williams – 110.08 against Kevin Garcia, who averaged 100.94 in the same match, followed by the Liverpool title.

Very close behind were Kirk Shepherd, Archie Self, Tyler Thorpe, C-Jay Pipe and Eve Watson.

And I'd certainly include Jacob Godber and Charlie Lowin among the junior performances worth following.

The bigger picture

What stands out to me is the sheer amount of darts being played on an ordinary Tuesday evening.

We've got ADC Vault tournaments, WADC competitions, Junior Volts, academy events, Under-55 and Under-70 competitions, and independent round robins all contributing to the same growing database.

But the really interesting stories are beginning to emerge when we look across multiple days.

Johnny Haines has now won on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Tyler Thorpe has followed Monday's Daventry victory with another win.

Josh McCarthy has backed up Monday's 107.36 with a tournament victory and another three-figure average.

And players like Ryan Palmer, Steve Haggerty and Kelson Hughes are producing averages that deserve recognition far beyond their local venues.

That's what I want Q4QS to keep doing: not just recording who won, but showing the performances, form and developing stories behind grassroots darts.

Full results, rankings and player statistics are available at questforqschool.com.

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: Ciaran Forde Hits 115.62 as 78 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 6 October 2026

Tuesday was another huge night for the Q4QS database, with 78 tournaments added from across the grassroots game.

The biggest individual average came from Ciaran Forde, who hit a superb 115.62 in Barnsley — and unlike many of the biggest averages I pick out in these reports, he also went on to win the tournament.

Jack Main hit 111.33, while Trevor Burkhill, David Evans, Jack Faragher, Daniel Astbury, Mason Jackson and Dale Thomas all reached 107.36.

There was plenty happening closer to the Q4QS heartland too. Joe Quiney won at Bretforton, Mitchell Atkins took the Widden Rugby Club title in Gloucester, Josh McCarthy won at Wiltshire Darts House, Christopher Staples won in Portishead and Brooklyn Anthony took the Taunton U70 event.

And it was a particularly busy Tuesday for women's darts, with eight WADC Vault events in the results.

Forde combines 115.62 with the Barnsley title

The headline number came at Barnsley WMC.

Ciaran Forde averaged 115.62 in a 2–0 win over Karen Mellor. It wasn't the only huge performance in the tournament either: Trevor Burkhill hit 107.36, while Mason Hale and Damian Corr both reached 100.20.

Forde then completed the night with eight victories, beating Corr 3–1 in the final.

That's exactly the sort of performance that deserves top billing — the biggest average anywhere in the day's results backed up by the tournament win.

Jack Main hits 111.33 and wins at Hethersett

Jack Main produced another of the day's most complete performances.

He hit 111.33 at Hethersett Social Club and also recorded 98.55 before going on to take the title.

Main finished with seven wins and beat Oliver Howard 3–1 in the final.

Charlie Miller's 98.66 and Josh Brown's 96.97 added further quality to a strong tournament.

Archie Self puts together a superb Newbury run

One performance a simple list of the day's biggest averages doesn't fully capture came from Archie Self at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Newbury.

Self recorded 103.66, 100.20, 100.20 and 93.94 among his leading performances.

He also won seven matches and beat Jason Heaver 3–0 in the final.

Two ton-plus averages would make a good night. Three, followed by the title, makes this one of Tuesday's best all-round tournament performances.

Johnny Haines wins in Eastleigh

Johnny Haines was another player who combined a big number with the title.

At the Locomotive Engineers Social Club in Eastleigh, Haines hit 104.86 and later averaged 94.33 in his 3–1 final victory over Mike Gillet.

Both players finished with seven wins, with Gillet himself producing 96.97 and 95.02 during a strong run.

Joe Quiney takes Bretforton

Back at Bretforton Sports Club, Joe Quiney came through another competitive Tuesday Vault.

Paul Jones produced the biggest average of the tournament with 96.97, but Quiney was the player who lasted the distance.

He beat Danny Lauby 3–1 in the final, averaging 89.70, and finished the event with eight wins.

Jones and Lauby both collected six victories, while Jason Reeve reached 88.41.

Mitchell Atkins wins in Gloucester

There was another local title at Widden Rugby Club, where Mitchell Atkins beat Alfie Palmer 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Ryan Palmer produced the highest average of the tournament with 91.09, while Atkins reached 90.59 and Joe Bagguley 88.41.

Alfie Palmer finished with six wins and Joe Bagguley five, so there was plenty of depth behind the winner too.

Josh McCarthy takes Wiltshire Darts House

Josh McCarthy had an excellent night in Swindon.

McCarthy hit 93.94 twice, collected eight victories and then beat Danny Humphries 3–0 in the final.

Humphries reached 88.41 during his six-win run, while Wayne Barrett recorded 85.89.

McCarthy's combination of consistency and eight wins makes this another performance worth pulling out from deeper in the results.

Greenslade breaks 100 in Taunton

The graphic rightly picks out Ryan Greenslade's 100.20 at Darts @ The Lawns in Taunton.

The title, though, went to Brooklyn Anthony.

Anthony finished with eight wins and beat James Wellbelove 4–0 in the final. Wellbelove collected seven victories, while Greenslade won five.

It is another good example of why the highest average and the tournament's biggest story are not always the same thing.

Staples wins at Portishead

Christopher Staples took the Tuesday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts, beating Josh Rose 3–0 in the final.

Staples finished with seven wins and recorded a best of 85.89.

Logun Godbeer actually produced the event's biggest average at 88.41 and collected six victories, with Max Maggs and Josh Rose both finishing on five.

Junior Volts produce another huge programme

Tuesday also brought another substantial set of Junior Volts results.

Among the winners were Ashton John at Resolven, Tom Phillips at Ellesmere Port, Jenson Macey at Gosport, Joel Walton at Cannock, Jacob Godber at Yate, Theo Machin at Halesowen, Charlie Ely at Minehead, Charlie Smith at Gillingham, Brendan O'Reilly on the Isle of Wight and Spencer Edwards at Ogmore Vale.

There was some good scoring too, including 81.40 from Logan Ford, 81.24s from Riley Pinhorne, Charlie Ely and Charlie Smith, while Alfie Obrien reached 88.41 in the Calstep Darts Wales Newport Academy Series.

Eight WADC Vaults – and some excellent numbers

Women's darts had a particularly strong presence in Tuesday's results with eight WADC Vault 3.0 events.

The winners included Sue Davies at Denbigh, Leanne Topper at Prestatyn, Amanda Harwood at Dereham, Keri Stinton at Leominster, Eve Watson at Port Talbot, Lily Childs-Crowley at North Walsham and Dannie Hughes at Wiltshire Darts House. The Church Wicketts event was also recorded, although the export couldn't reliably detect its winner from the available match rows.

There were some particularly eye-catching performances too.

Leanne Topper hit 91.09 on her way to winning at Prestatyn, while Amanda Harwood reached 88.41 and won at Dereham.

At Port Talbot, Eve Watson put together perhaps the deepest WADC performance of the day: 81.24, 78.96, 77.08 and 75.15, winning all four of her recorded matches and taking the title.

At Wiltshire Darts House, Katie Mullis hit 75.15, with Dani Kearns recording 69.91 and 68.09.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Ciaran Forde – 115.62 and Barnsley title
The day's highest average, eight wins and the tournament victory.

2. Jack Main – 111.33 and Hethersett title
Another huge average backed up by winning the tournament.

3. Archie Self – 103.66, 100.20, 100.20 and Newbury title
Possibly the deepest scoring performance of the day.

4. David Evans – 107.36 and Leyland title
Eight wins, a 107.36 and a 3–0 victory in the final.

5. Eve Watson – 81.24, 78.96, 77.08, 75.15 and Port Talbot WADC title
Four excellent performances and four wins.

Another 78 tournaments into Q4QS

Tuesday was another example of just how much is going on below the professional game.

There were huge averages, established names, local winners, Junior Volts, eight WADC events and performances worth noticing well beyond the players who simply topped the average charts.

78 more tournaments also means another substantial block of matches feeding into the Q4QS rankings, player records, venue histories and form data.

And there will be plenty more hidden in there to dig into.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Kirk Shepherd Hits 115.62 as 48 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 3 October 2026

Saturday brought another 48 tournaments into the Q4QS database, and once again there was far more to the day than simply looking at who won each event.

The headline average came from Kirk Shepherd, who fired a superb 115.62 at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington. David Mayle and Johnny Haines both reached 111.33, while there were 103.66 averages from Richard German, Dave Burrows and Stephen Cake.

There was plenty happening closer to the usual Q4QS area too. Danny Humphries won at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Stephen Cake completed an excellent night with the title in Neath, and Johnny Haines produced another big set of numbers at Wiltshire Darts House.

There was also a substantial Junior Volts programme and, importantly, six WADC Vaults, as well as the Shrewsbury Ladies Open.

Shepherd hits 115.62 – but Welding takes the title

The biggest average I'm picking out from Saturday came at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington.

Kirk Shepherd produced a tremendous 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Maciej Suchy. It wasn't his only big performance either, with Shepherd also recording 100.20, 93.94 and 91.17 during his run.

But he didn't win the tournament.

That honour went to James Welding, who beat Shepherd 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Welding averaged 93.94 earlier in the event, and once again we have a good example of why these reports shouldn't simply be a list of the day's biggest averages. Shepherd produced the headline number; Welding took home the title.

Two 111.33 averages

There were two more huge performances on Saturday.

At Dave's Darts Competition for Breast Cancer Now, David Mayle averaged 111.33 and backed that up with a 101.79.

Richard German also reached 103.66, while eventual winner Phil Johnson-Hale joined the ton-plus group with a 100.20.

Johnson-Hale beat Mark Lynn 6–3 in the final to take the competition.

Meanwhile at Wiltshire Darts House, Johnny Haines produced another exceptional set of numbers.

Haines hit 111.33, followed it with 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35 and collected eight wins.

Yet again, the man producing the huge averages didn't take the title.

Scott Mc beat Haines 4–3 before going on to defeat Chris Rose 5–0 in the final. Scott also recorded a 95.01 against Haines.

That's some serious depth of performance from one tournament.

Stephen Cake combines 103.66 with the Neath title

One of Saturday's best complete tournament performances came in Wales.

At Shooter's SportsBar in Neath, Stephen Cake hit 103.66, as well as 93.94, 91.09 and 85.99.

More importantly, he finished the night with eight victories and beat Craig Blake 3–0 in the final, averaging 93.94.

Bobby Short also reached 93.94 during a six-win night.

Big average, consistency and the tournament win – Cake ticked pretty much every box.

Dave Burrows hits 103.66 – David Evans wins Farnworth

There was another 103.66 at the Royal Sports Lounge in Farnworth, this time from Dave Burrows.

Burrows finished with six wins, but the tournament belonged to David Evans.

Evans reached 98.02 and 91.09 before beating Steve Coote 3–1 in the final, where he averaged 89.56.

Evans finished with seven victories to complete a strong tournament.

Danny Humphries wins at Stratford Social Club

There was another result to add to the growing Q4QS history at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Danny Humphries came through the Darts Mayhem event, beating Dave Moule 2–1 in the final.

Humphries also produced the tournament's best average of 96.97, added a 91.09 and finished with seven wins.

Dave Moule also collected seven victories, while Lee Evans won five matches and recorded averages of 91.09 and 88.41.

Another busy event at a venue that is appearing increasingly regularly in the Q4QS data.

Paul Rowley impresses in Shrewsbury

Paul Rowley put together one of the strongest winning performances of the day at the Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury.

Rowley beat Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final with a 99.00 average, while B-Smith averaged 96.20.

Rowley also recorded 91.29 and 91.09 on his way to eight victories.

That's a particularly strong set of numbers to accompany a tournament win.

Paul Hogan wins at Burghfield

At Burghfield Community Sports Association near Reading, Paul Hogan enjoyed an excellent tournament.

Hogan recorded 93.94, 92.02 and 83.50, finished with eight wins and beat Mark Tomlin 3–0 in the final.

Tomlin had seven victories himself and twice reached 88.41.

Steve Haggerty makes it eight wins

At Wych Elm in Burntwood, Steve Haggerty produced another very complete performance.

Haggerty hit 98.02, 93.94, 88.41 and 86.48 during the event before beating Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris 3–0 in the final.

Eight matches, eight wins and some very solid numbers alongside them.

John Nelson dominates at Southend

John Nelson was another player who combined the biggest averages at his venue with the tournament victory.

At the Len Forge Centre in Southend, Nelson recorded 96.97, 93.94 and 91.09.

He then beat Craig Vickers 3–0 in the final and finished with seven wins.

Vickers also won seven matches on his route to the final.

Junior Volts produce another huge batch of results

Saturday was another busy day for the Junior Volts Series, with tournaments spread across the country.

Charlie Lowin won at Blackheath, Prem Ahluwalia at Bushey, Nathan Ward-Wilkinson at Clacton, Logan Smith at Gamlingay and Rhodri Phillips at Llandysul.

Elsewhere, Callum Kerrigan won in Lincoln, Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris at Lichfield, Harland Newbegin at Grimsby and Finley Rix at Norwich.

There were some good numbers among the juniors too. Nathan Ward-Wilkinson and Cayden Jones both reached 81.24, while Jack Turner and Charlie Lowin hit 79.11.

At the Shrewsbury Youth Under-18 Open, Sam Morris produced an 87.35 and went on to win the competition, beating Callum Robinson 4–1 in the final.

It's another sizeable block of junior results going into the database.

Seven women's tournaments added to Q4QS

There was plenty of women's darts on Saturday as well, with six WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments plus the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open.

At the WADC events, Pat Moody won at Great Float Social Club in Wallasey, while Joanne Oldershaw produced an excellent all-round performance in Newark. Oldershaw averaged 62.63 and then 61.03 in her 3–1 final victory over Kelly Stevens.

Danielle Evans won at The Gamull Pub in Ribbleton, finishing with seven victories and occupying the top four positions among the event's recorded averages.

Michelle Bull won at The Glebe in Stevenage, while Dannie Hughes took the Cinderford title after beating Vicky Fairbrother 3–1. Fairbrother produced the best WADC average of these six events with 66.80.

At the Royal Oak in Rhyl, Jackie Brighton beat Trisha Harley 3–0 in the final and averaged 61.77. She also recorded two 60.12 averages.

Away from the Vaults, Sue Lane won the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open, beating Emma Tapp 3–2 in the final. Tapp produced the competition's highest average of 64.41.

That's seven women's competitions from one Saturday feeding more results into Q4QS.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Kirk Shepherd – 115.62, Warrington
The biggest legitimate average I'm picking out from Saturday, backed up with another 100.20.

2. David Mayle – 111.33, Breast Cancer Now competition
Mayle also hit 101.79, making this far more than a one-match performance.

3. Johnny Haines – 111.33, Wiltshire Darts House
Another huge day from Haines: 111.33, 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35.

4. Stephen Cake – 103.66, Neath
Cake gets the nod because he combined his big average with eight wins and the tournament title.

5. Paul Rowley – 99.00, Shrewsbury
There were higher individual averages elsewhere, but a 99.00 in the final to win the tournament, backed by 91.29 and 91.09, makes this one of my performances of the day.

Another 48 tournaments into Q4QS

Another 48 tournaments are now part of the Q4QS database.

The 115.62 from Kirk Shepherd grabs the headline, but Saturday again showed why there is so much more to these results than one leaderboard of averages.

James Welding beat the player who produced that 115.62. Scott Mc won at Wiltshire despite Johnny Haines throwing 111.33 and 103.66. Stephen Cake combined big numbers with the title in Neath, while Danny Humphries added another Salisbury victory to the records.

Add another sizeable Junior Volts programme and seven women's competitions, and there was plenty to take from Saturday.

And all of it now adds another layer to the rankings, player histories, venue records, head-to-heads and form behind Q4QS.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Johnny Haines Hits 115.62 as 77 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 29 September 2026

Tuesday was a big night for grassroots darts, with 77 tournaments added to Q4QS and some seriously good numbers appearing across the country.

The graphic picked out Liam Trotman's 107.36, Joe Quiney's 98.60 and Andy Steed's 96.65, but digging further into the results uncovered even more.

Johnny Haines hit a huge 115.62 in Faringdon, while Tyler Thorpe and Tony Chapman both reached 107.36. There was also a remarkable final at Syston where James Young averaged 105.46 — and still lost to Steve Haggerty, who averaged 104.86.

And with seven WADC Vaults played on Tuesday, there is plenty from the women's game to include as well.

Johnny Haines hits 115.62 in Faringdon

The biggest average I'm picking out from Tuesday came at the Vault at Faringdon Town Football Club.

Johnny Haines produced a superb 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Otto Hookham.

It wasn't just one big performance either. Haines also recorded 96.97 and 91.09 during the night and finished with seven wins.

However, he didn't take the title.

That went to Ash McKeever, who beat Haines along the way and then defeated him 3–1 in the final.

Another good example of why I like looking beyond simply who won each tournament.

A remarkable final at Syston

One of the matches that really caught my eye came at The Brookside in Syston.

James Young averaged 105.46 in the final.

Normally that would be more than enough to win a grassroots tournament.

Not this time.

Steve Haggerty averaged 104.86 and beat him 3–0.

Haggerty had also produced a 102.00 earlier in the tournament.

A 105.46 losing average against a 104.86 is certainly one of the more unusual finals I've seen appear in the Q4QS results.

Liam Trotman hits 107.36 in Portishead

Closer to Q4QS home territory, there was another huge performance at the Tuesday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts.

Liam Trotman hit 107.36 in a 2–0 victory over Max Maggs and also recorded an 88.41.

Trotman eventually lost 2–1 to Logun Godbeer, who went on to reach the final.

The tournament itself was won by Christopher Staples, who beat Godbeer 2–1 and finished the night with nine wins.

Again, the biggest average didn't belong to the eventual champion.

Joe Quiney produces a big night at Bretforton

There was an excellent performance at Bretforton Sports Club near Evesham, where Joe Quiney won the Vault.

Quiney hit 98.60, followed it with other strong numbers and then averaged 95.94 in a 3–0 final victory over Danny Lauby.

Lauby himself reached 89.33 and 88.41 during the competition.

Quiney and Lauby both accumulated seven wins, but it was Quiney who took the title.

Andy Steed impresses again in Tiverton

Andy Steed continues to appear regularly among the stronger Q4QS performances.

At Elmore Football Club in Tiverton, Steed won the Vault with a 96.65 average in his 3–1 final victory over Dave Fisher.

He also recorded 93.94, 88.41 and 85.89 during the tournament and finished with eight wins.

That's a particularly solid set of numbers rather than simply one standout match.

Carl Wilson follows Monday's success with a 101.59

Carl Wilson had a pretty good couple of days.

After winning Monday's PDC UK & Ireland World Championship qualifier, he was back playing a Vault on Tuesday at East Grinstead Social and Ex Services Club.

Wilson won that as well.

He averaged 101.59 in his 3–1 final victory over Dan Russell, having also produced 96.97 and 92.02 during the tournament.

Not a bad follow-up to Monday.

Some big Welsh numbers

There were several excellent performances in the Welsh Vaults.

At Loughor Workingmens Club in Swansea, Lee Evans averaged 104.46 in the final, beating Kai Clark 3–1. Evans also recorded 96.97 and 90.18.

At Lindsay Constitutional Club, Connor Hopkins hit 101.89 and then averaged 98.42 in his 3–2 final victory over Ryan Davies.

And at Vetz Club in Pontycymer, both finalists broke the 100 barrier.

William Thomas hit 103.66, while eventual winner Mike Huntley also hit 103.66 and added another 100.20 during the night before beating Thomas 3–0 in the final.

That's some serious strength across the Welsh events.

Josh McCarthy breaks 100 in Swindon

Josh McCarthy followed Monday's win at North Star in Calne with another title on Tuesday.

This time it came at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon.

McCarthy averaged 100.20 in the final, beating Rich Griffee 3–0.

He also recorded 93.94 and 92.02 and finished with eight wins.

Two tournament victories on consecutive nights at different venues is a decent couple of days.

Ryan Palmer wins at Widden

At Widden Rugby Club in Gloucester, Ryan Palmer won the Vault with a 3–0 victory over Nigel Vernall.

Palmer finished with seven wins, while Alfie Palmer produced the highest average of the tournament at 85.89.

Andrew Burford reached 79.11, with Ryan Palmer's best listed performance coming in at 76.42.

Ryan Greenslade takes Taunton title

At Darts @ The Lawns, Ryan Greenslade won the Taunton U70 Round Robin Super Series.

Greenslade beat James Wellbelove 4–1 in the final and finished with nine wins.

Ben Hayman produced the highest average of the tournament at 83.50, while Greenslade reached 79.11.

Junior Volts spread across the country

Tuesday was another busy night for the Junior Volts programme.

At Highbridge Social Club, Tai Anderson beat Oliver Reece 3–0 in the final. Bradley Bateman produced the best average there at 70.91.

There were also wins for Rhys Evans at Resolven, Jenson Macey at Gosport, Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris at Cannock, Charlie Lowin at Halesowen, Finley Holmes-Harker at Skegness, Alfie Mills at Gillingham, Archie Isaacson on the Isle of Wight and Joshua Russell at Ogmore Vale.

There were some impressive numbers among them too.

Tyler Shuck reached 91.09 at Halesowen, while Joshua Russell also hit 91.09 at Ogmore Vale.

Harley Glycos produced a 100.20 in the Calstep Wales Newport results.

WADC: seven tournaments on Tuesday

There were seven WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments in Tuesday's results, so there was plenty of women's darts added to Q4QS.

At Shooters in Leominster, Louise Davies beat Karrina Barnes 3–0 in the final. Clare Bywater produced the highest average of the tournament at 60.85.

At The 9 Darter in Port Talbot, Kirsten Casley beat Celyn Saunders 3–0 and averaged 69.37 in the final.

Lisa McClatchey won at London GAA in Ruislip, beating Maggie Sutton 3–0 and averaging 63.51.

At The Church Wicketts in Telford, Alyssya Petty beat Tamzin Warrillow 3–1 and finished with six wins.

Jenny Levett won at The Empire Club in Lancing, beating Tracey Collins 3–1.

At Trebles Darts in North Walsham, Lynsey Childs beat Gemma Reynolds 3–2 in the final, while Reynolds produced the event's best average of 63.61.

And at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, Dani Kearns beat Chris Savvery 3–0. Savvery produced the highest WADC average among the seven events at 75.15, while Kearns reached 69.91.

That's seven more women's tournaments feeding into the Q4QS database, covering a good geographical spread and a range of playing standards.

Five performances that caught my eye

If I leave aside the very short-format Shepperton results, which produced some unusually high averages over tiny samples, these are five performances that stood out to me:

1. Johnny Haines – 115.62 — Faringdon
2. Liam Trotman – 107.36 — Portishead
3. Tony Chapman – 107.36 — King's Lynn
4. James Young – 105.46 — Syston
5. Steve Haggerty – 104.86 — Syston

And there are plenty just outside that five: Lee Evans at 104.46, Charlie Little and William Thomas at 103.66, Mike Huntley at 103.66 and 100.20, Connor Hopkins at 101.89 and Carl Wilson at 101.59.

77 tournaments added to Q4QS

Tuesday is becoming one of the most interesting days of the week for the database.

77 tournaments means another substantial batch of matches, averages and player results, ranging from Junior Volts and WADC competitions through to Vaults and local opens.

And Tuesday demonstrated again why Yesterday's Results shouldn't simply be a list of tournament winners.

Johnny Haines hit 115.62 without winning. James Young averaged 105.46 in a final and lost. Liam Trotman hit 107.36 but didn't reach the final.

Those performances are every bit as interesting to me as who lifted the trophy.

That's exactly the sort of thing the growing Q4QS database is allowing me to find.

MODUS Super Series Week 8 Preview: Robertson Leads a Field Packed With Recent Winners

 

The MODUS Super Series moves into Week 8, and once again there is a really interesting 12-player field heading to Portsmouth.

The early market has Scott Robertson at the head of the betting, followed by Reece Robinson and Jake Neale, but this is another week where I think the Q4QS database adds quite a bit of context beyond simply looking at the prices.

Robertson's position certainly isn't difficult to understand. He is comfortably the highest-ranked player in the field according to Q4QS and has produced some outstanding numbers in 2026.

But behind him there are players arriving on winning streaks, recent Vault champions and a few whose latest figures suggest they could be considerably more dangerous than their position in the market might indicate.

As always, this isn't a tipping exercise. The odds are useful because they give us another way of looking at how the field is perceived before a dart is thrown.

And this week there are a few interesting differences between that perception and the recent results.

Robertson sets the standard

Scott Robertson is the clear No.1 in this field according to the Q4QS rankings.

Robertson sits at Q4QS No.39, with an 87.80 Q4QS Average, and has won eight of his latest ten recorded matches.

The standout result is his victory at the Denmark Open & Masters, where he went 8–0 with a 92.50 tournament average. That run included a 103.58 average in beating Neil Duff and a 103.88 against Danny Jansen.

And it hasn't been a case of one exceptional tournament surrounded by ordinary results.

His recent record includes a Swedish Open quarter-final where he averaged 96.62, another Swedish Open semi-final, and a semi-final at the Welsh Open, Masters & Classic.

Robertson is the early 3.75 favourite and, unlike some of the prices I looked at in Week 7, the Q4QS data provides plenty of evidence for why he is at the top of the market.

Johnny Haines arrives 10–0

If we're looking for the strongest current winning sequence, though, we have to talk about Johnny Haines.

Haines is currently 10–0 in the Q4QS database and has won his last two recorded tournaments.

One of those victories came with an excellent 88.09 tournament average, while his individual performances include a remarkable 115.62 match average as well as scores of 92.02 and 90.18.

Go back a little further and the consistency becomes even more apparent.

Before those two victories, Haines had reached a final and two semi-finals. His last five recorded events therefore read:

Semi-final – Semi-final – Final – Winner – Winner.

At 9.50 in the early market, Haines is one of the players whose recent results particularly caught my attention.

Steve West is winning for fun

Then we come to Steve West, whose recent tournament record might be even more impressive.

West's latest five events contain three victories and a final.

He won a Vault 19 event at Fareham with an 88.30 tournament average, including a 105.44 match average against Lloyd Walker. He's now 9–1 across his latest ten recorded matches.

His previous events include tournament averages of 88.24, 85.32 and 84.43, so there is a substantial body of recent scoring form behind that winning record.

West is 9.50 in the early market alongside Haines, and both arrive with significantly stronger recent winning records than many players priced ahead of them.

Lewis Cook brings another strong Q4QS ranking

Lewis Cook is the second-highest Q4QS-ranked player in the field at No.98, with an 83.66 Q4QS Average.

He's also 8–2 recently and has been extremely busy.

Cook won a recent Vault 19 tournament at Legends Sports and Pool Bar with an 80.52 average and then reached another final there. His recent ADC Championship South appearances have also included tournament averages of 83.94 and 79.76.

The early market has Cook at 21.00.

Again, I'm not suggesting that automatically makes him a bet. But when the second-highest ranked Q4QS player in the field is that far down the market, it's certainly worth highlighting in a preview.

Winder has already beaten quality opposition

Scott Winder is another whose price and Q4QS position don't immediately line up.

Winder is Q4QS No.353 and 8–2 recently. More importantly, he has already shown he can win a strong event.

He took ADC Winmau Championship North Event 7, going 7–0, and among his victories was a 5–0 win over Daniel Ayres with a 91.65 average.

There is a caveat here: Winder currently has only five qualifying events in the database, so he doesn't yet have an official Q4QS Average.

But at an early price of 29.00, he's another interesting example of why it's worth looking beyond the headline market.

Whitehead still has a big ceiling

Conan Whitehead hasn't been collecting titles like Haines or West, but there is enough in his numbers to make him interesting.

He's Q4QS No.442 with an 80.47 average and a 7–3 recent record.

His best recent ADC Championship South run came with an 87.83 tournament average, while individual performances include 103.66, 92.49 and 89.83.

The question is consistency. His latest recorded event was much quieter, but the higher-end numbers show what he's capable of producing.

Neale knows how to win

Jake Neale is third in the early market at 7.50, and there is title-winning form in his Q4QS record.

Neale has won two of the five latest events in the database, including a Vault 17 tournament at the County Con's Club where he went 7–0 with an 80.54 average.

His two most recent Vault 18 and 19 appearances have been less successful, however, with averages dropping to 67.98 and 69.79.

That makes him an interesting player to assess this week: there is proven winning form there, but he'll be looking to rediscover the level that produced those earlier titles.

Owens could be better than his ranking suggests

One player whose overall Q4QS numbers need a little context is Jamie Owens.

He's ranked No.3120 with a 72.12 Q4QS Average, but his latest ADC Championship North performances look very different.

Owens averaged 93.53 in Event 6, 85.08 in Event 7 and then reached the quarter-finals of Event 8 with an 85.86 tournament average.

That latest run included a 95.52 average in a 5–2 win over Alan Slater.

Those recent ADC numbers are probably much more relevant to his Week 8 prospects than the overall ranking alone.

The rest of the field

There are some unknowns and smaller samples to consider.

Reece Robinson is second favourite in the early market at 5.50, but the Q4QS database currently has only one event for him. That was the UKDA National Finals, where he averaged 86.58 across two matches and beat Anthony Paul Hitchen with an 87.31 average. That's encouraging, but nowhere near enough data to make a meaningful comparison with players for whom I have dozens of results.

Francesco Basili has shown improvement in Development Tour competition, including a 75.04 event average on his best recent run, while American Chuck Puleo reached the Last 64 of the WDF World Masters, averaging 74.12 across his three recorded matches.

Scott Taylor, meanwhile, has a 7–3 recent record. His latest Vault numbers have been relatively modest, although earlier Challenge Tour performances included event averages of 83.41 and 82.21.

Do the early odds tell the whole story?

The early market has Robertson at 3.75, followed by Robinson at 5.50, Neale at 7.50, Taylor at 8.50, Haines and West at 9.50 and Owens at 10.00.

Further out are Whitehead at 19.00, Cook at 21.00, Basili at 23.00, Winder at 29.00 and Puleo at 34.00.

As with last week's preview, I think comparing those prices with the database is interesting rather than something that needs to turn into betting advice.

Robertson's position at the top is strongly supported by the Q4QS data.

After that, however, it becomes much less straightforward.

Haines is 10–0 and has won his last two. West is 9–1 with three wins and a final among his last five events. Cook is the Q4QS No.98 and arrives 8–2. Winder is also 8–2 and has recently won an ADC Championship event.

That doesn't make any of them more or less likely to win than the prices suggest – but it does show why this Week 8 field deserves a closer look than the market order alone.

Six Players to Follow

Scott Robertson
The benchmark. Q4QS No.39, an 87.80 Q4QS Average and a recent tournament victory averaging 92.50.

Johnny Haines
Perhaps the form story of the week. He's 10–0 and his last five events have produced two semi-finals, a final and two wins.

Steve West
Three wins and a final from his latest five tournaments, with some excellent mid-to-high 80s event averages along the way.

Lewis Cook
The second-highest ranked Q4QS player in the field, currently 8–2 and with a recent Vault 19 victory and final.

Scott Winder
An ADC Championship North event winner who has already shown he can beat strong opposition when he's at his best.

Jamie Owens
His overall numbers disguise some much stronger recent form, including three consecutive ADC Championship North event averages above 85.

A strong Week 8

What I like about this field is that there isn't just one type of contender.

Robertson brings the strongest overall Q4QS numbers. Haines and West bring outstanding winning form. Cook and Winder have strong rankings and recent titles. Owens has suddenly started producing numbers well above his overall database average.

Then there are players such as Robinson where the Q4QS sample is simply too small for me to make any firm assessment yet.

That should make Week 8 particularly useful from a Q4QS point of view too. By the end of the week we'll know considerably more about several of these players.

For now, Scott Robertson sets the standard – but there is enough winning form throughout this field to suggest he won't have things all his own way.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Haines Hits 115.62 as Roberts, Perkins and McCready Take Wednesday Titles (2nd Septemer 2026)

Wednesday produced another packed night of grassroots darts, with 33 tournaments from 2 September added to the Q4QS database.

There was plenty happening across the South and South West, with James Roberts winning at Purton, Steve Perkins taking the Devizes Under-70, Alec McCready winning again at Leominster and Johnny Haines producing the biggest average of the entire day with a sensational 115.62.

Further afield, Bryan Flew was outstanding at Dowlais, Terry Nash came through the Vault 19 warm-up and several more players broke the 100-average barrier.

Haines lights up GWRSA with 115.62

The individual performance of the day came from Johnny Haines in the Inbetween Vault Break 3 at GWRSA Club.

Haines didn't simply win the event — he produced an extraordinary 115.62 average during his run, comfortably the highest number recorded across Wednesday's Q4QS results.

He also added averages of 92.02, 90.18 and 85.89, eventually finishing the tournament with eight victories and defeating Igor Kuroczycki in the final.

That's one of the biggest single-match averages to appear in these daily roundups for some time.

Roberts combines 100.20 with Purton title

There was another ton-plus performance from James Roberts in the Purton Red House Under-70 Round Robin.

Roberts produced a 100.20 average, followed by further performances of 88.41 and 85.89, and finished with eight wins.

Most importantly, he also completed the tournament victory, beating Wayne Franklin 4–0 in the final.

For an average-restricted event, breaking through the 100 mark is particularly eye-catching.

Perkins takes Devizes Under-70

At the Devizes Town Round Robin U70 Average, Steve Perkins emerged with the title.

Perkins and Mike Barton both accumulated eight victories before meeting in the final, with Perkins coming through 4–3.

He also produced the highest recorded average of the tournament at 85.25, just ahead of Andy Evans at 85.00.

Another competitive restricted-average event, and another example of the depth these tournaments are producing.

McCready wins again at Leominster

Alec McCready continued his recent winning form at Leominster & District Darts League.

McCready took the Money In Money Out title after recording seven victories, defeating Chris Hurds 3–0 in the final.

The biggest average of the event actually belonged to Simon Griffiths, who hit 100.20, while James Bradford recorded 92.02 and Hurds reached 88.41.

After McCready's excellent performance in Sunday's results, it is another title to add to what is becoming a very productive spell.

Flew fires 111.33 at Dowlais

If Haines hadn't produced his 115.62, Bryan Flew's 111.33 would have comfortably taken top billing.

Flew was superb in Dowlais RFC Vault Break 3, producing the 111.33, followed by 95.94, 90.18 and two separate 88.41 averages.

He also won the tournament, beating Jack Davies 3–0 in the final and finishing with eight victories.

A title plus that collection of averages makes Flew's run one of Wednesday's strongest all-round performances.

Nash takes Vault 19 warm-up

There was another notable success for Terry Nash at Bagley Sports & Social Club.

Nash came through the Vault 19 Warm Up Money In Money Out, edging Paul Rowley 4–3 in the final.

He also recorded a 100.20 average, alongside 97.12 and 93.94, while Rowley produced an excellent 98.45.

With Vault 19 approaching, that is some very useful form for Nash.

Sartan Club produces another busy Bristol night

Closer to home, the Sartan Club Double Trouble Round Robin produced 75 recorded matches.

Matty Rogers eventually took the title after eight victories, while Alfie Palmer won seven and Warren Ryan, Ryan Smith and Ricky Palmer all collected six.

Rogers and Ricky Palmer shared the best recorded average at 81.24, with Warren Ryan and Luke Harding both reaching 77.08.

Kempster wins Wednesday Under-55

There was also another restricted-average competition in the region, with Jack Kempster taking the Wednesday Night Under-55 Average title.

Kempster recorded seven victories and produced the event's best average of 75.15.

Cameron Oram finished with six wins, while Jack Collins and Alfie Ryan both reached five.

More ton-plus performances

Wednesday was unusually rich in big averages.

Alongside Haines' 115.62 and Flew's 111.33, Adam Mould hit 103.66 at Bradmoor Farm, while William Thomas also produced 103.66 at Vetz Sports and Social Club.

Simon Griffiths, Rico Anderson, James Roberts, Nigel Lamb and Terry Nash all reached 100.20.

Mould's 103.66 came during an event ultimately won by Ross Hales, while William Thomas' big numbers weren't enough to stop Mike Huntley taking the title at Vetz.

Plenty more Wednesday winners

There was plenty more action among the 33 competitions.

Daniel Astbury won the Oddfellows Round Robin with nine victories and an 88.81 best, while Jake Shipley took the Bostin Inbetween Vault and Corey Milward won the Shooters Warm Up.

There were also victories for Ryan-Rai Rushton in the Junior Darts Round Robin, Archie Bourne in the Raging Bullseye Championship Series, Connor Levett at Trojans Whippet and Lucas Llewellyn in the Arrows U55 event.

A huge night for the averages

Thirty-three tournaments is another substantial addition to Q4QS, but Wednesday will probably be remembered most for the scoring.

A 115.62 from Haines, 111.33 from Flew, two 103.66s and five separate players reaching 100.20 made this one of the strongest statistical days in the recent database.

But once again, the daily results also showed why tournament wins matter as much as isolated averages: Roberts, Perkins, McCready, Haines, Flew and Nash all managed to combine strong performances with actually getting the job done.
