ADC South West Vault 18 Preview – The Race For The Regional Finals Continues

 


The ADC South West Vault Series heads into Vault 18, with the race for places at the MODUS Super Series South West Regional Finals becoming increasingly competitive.

Every Vault offers valuable ranking points, and with only a limited number of events remaining, players are beginning to position themselves for a place in the Regional Finals, where the winner earns a coveted opportunity to compete on the MODUS Super Series stage.

Recent weeks have demonstrated just how competitive the South West circuit has become.

Henry Cooper produced an outstanding display to win Vault 17, defeating Andy Steed in the final, while Ashton Brown edged Geoff James in a thrilling deciding leg to take the Vault 16 Finals.

Those victories have tightened the race at the top of the standings, but there are still plenty of ranking points available before qualification is decided.

Six To Follow

Rather than simply picking the highest-ranked players, these are six who could significantly strengthen their Regional Finals hopes this week.

Henry Cooper

Fresh from winning Vault 17, confidence couldn't be much higher. Another deep run would further strengthen his position.

Josh McCarthy

One of the strongest scorers in the series. When his scoring clicks he is capable of beating anyone in the field.

Johnny Haines

A hugely experienced campaigner who always seems to produce his best darts in big ADC competitions.

Gareth Griffiths

Reached the latter stages of Vault 17 and continues to knock on the door. Another semi-final or better would be no surprise.

Jamie Kay

Regularly features in the closing stages of Vault events. Consistency keeps him firmly in Regional Finals contention.

Pierce Speechley-Price

One of the emerging names in the series. His semi-final appearance at Vault 17 showed he's more than capable of challenging the established names.

Players Looking To Climb

One of the most interesting aspects of Vault 18 is the number of players who know one strong run could transform their position in the standings.

A quarter-final or semi-final finish could prove just as valuable as lifting the trophy as the race towards the Regional Finals begins to intensify.

With every ranking point becoming increasingly important, expect another fiercely competitive evening of ADC darts.
