Yesterday's Darts Results: Paul Rowley Hits 111.33, Jack Johnson Shines in Junior Volts and 60 Tournaments Added to Q4QS – 27 October 2026

Tuesday was another busy day for grassroots darts, with 60 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database, and there was a particularly interesting mixture of established players, improving juniors and some excellent individual performances.

Paul Rowley produced the highest recorded average of the day with a 111.33, while Connor Hopkins wasn't far behind on 106.64.

But perhaps one of the most impressive stories came from the Junior Volts competition in Gillingham, where Jack Johnson produced four averages above 90, including a 104.86 in the final.

Elsewhere, Cori Wiltshire won at Hangar61, Johnny Haines enjoyed an excellent evening at Faringdon Town Football Club, and there were strong performances at Chinnor Pavilion, the Cue Club and several competitions across Wales.

And with so many junior tournaments taking place, there was plenty to look at beyond the usual open competitions.

Paul Rowley tops Tuesday's averages

The highest individual average recorded on Tuesday came from Paul Rowley, who produced 111.33 against Shaz Shepherd in a Tuesday night pre-round-robin competition.

It wasn't his only good performance either.

Rowley also recorded two averages of 96.97, against Alyssya Petty and Jack Fisher, along with 94.62 against Jack Harrison.

Four averages above 94 in one competition is a pretty decent evening by anyone's standards.

However, the tournament itself went to Daniel Astbury, who defeated Jake B-Smith 3–2 in the final.

B-Smith finished with eight victories, while Astbury and Rowley each recorded seven.

It's another example of why I like looking at both the averages and the tournament results. Rowley produced the biggest numbers, but Astbury was the player who came through to win it.

Jack Johnson produces a superb Junior Volts performance

For me, one of Tuesday's most impressive performances came from Jack Johnson at the Rock Avenue Club in Gillingham.

Johnson won the Junior Volts competition, defeating Drake Porter 3–0 in the final, and recorded a 104.86 average in that deciding match.

His other leading averages were:

• 98.02 against Freddie Greenwood
• 91.09 against Charlie Smith
• 90.18 against Cooper Harvey

That's four averages above 90, including a three-figure performance in the final.

Johnson finished with six victories, while Porter recorded five.

We talk quite a lot about the standard of junior darts nowadays, and performances like this explain why. A 104 average in a final is impressive at any level, never mind in a junior competition.

Cori Wiltshire wins at Hangar61

At the Super League gap-night round robin at Hangar61, Cori Wiltshire defeated Robbie Long 3–2 in the final.

Both players finished with seven victories, while Chris Hartrey and Louis Hamblin recorded six each.

Hartrey produced the highest average of the competition, 100.20 against Owen Smith, and also recorded 91.09 against Julia Archer.

Robbie Long was another player in good form, averaging 93.94 against Hartrey and recording two further averages of 91.09.

So although Wiltshire took the title, there were several players producing good darts throughout the evening.

Johnny Haines wins at Faringdon

Johnny Haines was another player who combined high averages with a tournament victory.

At Faringdon Town Football Club, Haines defeated Tony Clark 3–2 in the final of the Money In Money Out competition.

He finished with nine victories, the most of anyone in the event.

His leading performances included 103.66 against Chris Sumner, 95.94 against Dave Legg and 88.18 against Woody Wheeler.

Clark finished with eight victories, while Dave Legg recorded seven.

With 75 matches recorded, this was a substantial evening of darts, and Haines deserves credit for maintaining his form through to the final.

Alex Ward wins at Chinnor Pavilion

At Aylesbury Darts Events, Alex Ward won Chinnor Pavilion Vault Break #1, defeating Sean Holley 3–0 in the final.

Ward finished with eight victories and produced averages of 102.48 against Holley and 100.20 against Mark Kerry.

Holley also had an excellent evening, recording 103.66 against Clayton Ford and 100.20 against Harry Campin.

That's four three-figure averages between the two finalists.

Ward ultimately came out on top, but both players produced performances worth mentioning.

Ben Flanagan-McClelland doubles up on 100-plus averages

At the Cue Club Tuesday Open Round Robin, Ben Flanagan-McClelland defeated Sam Sneath 3–2 in the final.

He recorded seven victories and produced two particularly impressive averages: 103.66 against Oliver Kott and 100.20 against Kieran White.

Kris Preval also recorded a 92.36, while Sneath reached the final with four victories.

Again, a good example of a tournament winner producing some of the strongest averages of the evening.

Tyler Garrett impresses in Newport

There was another excellent performance in Wales, where Tyler Garrett won the Calstep Darts Wales Newport Academy Series.

Garrett defeated Cody Vodden 2–0 in the final and finished with six victories.

He recorded 100.20 in the final, 91.09 against Alfie O'Brien and 85.89 in another meeting with Vodden.

Garrett also appears in the Junior Volts results at Out Out Bar, Newport, where the uploaded report lists him as the winner against Rico Anderson.

That competition is labelled Wednesday in the export, despite appearing in Tuesday's reporting batch, so I would treat it as an additional recorded result rather than assume both events took place on Tuesday.

Joe Bagguley puts together five strong averages

One performance that deserves more attention came from Joe Bagguley at Widden Rugby Club.

Bagguley won the In-between Vault Round Robin, defeating Rich Griffee 3–1 in the final and recording nine victories.

What stands out is his collection of leading averages:

Average	Opponent
93.94	Matt Amor
93.94	Hayden Wood
91.09	Josh Finn
91.09	Lee Andrews
88.41	Todd Marfell

There might not be a three-figure average among those five, but there is something to be said for repeatedly performing around the 90 mark.

That sort of consistency is often more valuable in a tournament than producing one outstanding leg or match and then struggling to repeat it.

More strong performances around the country

At Champs Pool & Darts Bar, Marshall James won the Money In Money Out competition, defeating Mike Huntley 4–0 in the final.

James recorded eight victories and averaged 95.43 in the final, while Louis Melville produced the competition's highest average of 103.66.

At Lindsay Constitutional Club, Stephen Cake won the ADC ranking event, defeating Ryan Davies 3–0. Connor Hopkins recorded 106.64, the second-highest individual average in Tuesday's reporting batch.

At Parr Conservative Club, Sam Cromwell collected nine victories and defeated Stu Friar 3–0 in the final. Chris Chisnall produced a 100.20 and a 93.94.

At Shelley Lock-up Week 7, Rob Metcalfe won the competition with eight victories, while Matt Macintosh recorded a 100.20.

Other notable winners included Lloyd Walker at Fareham Social Club, Harry Rice at JJ's Tuesday Pre-Vault, Adam Fryer at the Hopetown Vault Break, Matt Kershaw at St John's Club and Jayden Scadden at the Railway Inn.

There really was quite a lot going on for a Tuesday.

Junior darts: another busy evening

There were 13 Junior Volts competitions in the reporting batch, covering venues from Gillingham and Yate to Sheffield, Cannock, Preston and Wales.

Jack Johnson's performance was the obvious headline, but there were plenty of other junior winners to recognise.

Venue	Winner	Final result
Arrows, Resolven	Carter Miles	3–2 v Cody Hughes
Bar 1895, Oldham	Tom Kindon	3–2 v Luke Kenworthy
Chaukees, Ellesmere Port	Tom Phillips	3–1 v Charlie Thomason
Heath Hayes, Cannock	Joel Walton	3–2 v Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris
Maxi Lounge, Yate	Jacob Godber	3–1 v Zak Read
Out Out Bar, Newport*	Tyler Garrett	3–2 v Rico Anderson
Red Rose Bowl, Preston	Tom Partington	3–2 v Gabriel Harrop
Sheffield Junior Darts Academy	Connor King	3–2 v Rwais Barwais
Soccer Zone, Halesowen	Codey Exall	3–0 v Charlie Lowin
Dart Den, Skegness	Finley Holmes-Harker	3–2 v Henry Weeks
Rock Avenue Club, Gillingham	Jack Johnson	3–0 v Drake Porter
Vectis Sports & Social Club, Isle of Wight	Wyatt Lee	3–1 v Riley Herbert
Wyndham Arms, Ogmore Vale	Riley Sadd	3–2 v Cruz Morse

*The Out Out Bar competition is labelled Wednesday in the source export but included in the 27 October reporting batch.

There were some excellent individual averages too. Spencer Edwards recorded 91.09 at Resolven, Rhys Evans reached 88.41, Rwais Barwais hit 85.89 in Sheffield and Codey Exall produced 85.08 in Halesowen.

Jacob Godber's eight victories at Yate and Riley Sadd's eight at Ogmore Vale are also worth mentioning.

And I wouldn't overlook the Boundary Park Academy competitions at Bar 1895. Five different events were recorded, giving players at several levels an opportunity to compete. Oliver England, Charlie Campbell, Jacob Jones, Stanley Derbyshire and Oscar Monkton were the winners.

Not everyone is going to be averaging 90 or 100, and nor should that be the only measure of a worthwhile tournament. For plenty of developing players, winning matches and getting regular competitive experience is what matters.

WADC: no competitions identified in Tuesday's results

I checked the 60 competitions in the supplied results report and couldn't identify a WADC-labelled event for 27 October.

Rather than invent a result or include one from another day, I'll leave the WADC section at that. We can return to the women's competitions when they appear in the next reporting batch.

Tuesday's ten highest individual averages

These are the ten highest entries in the supplied daily report, so players can appear more than once.

Player	Average	Competition
Paul Rowley	111.33	Tuesday Night Pre-Round Robin
Connor Hopkins	106.64	Lindsay Constitutional Club
Jack Johnson	104.86	Junior Volts, Gillingham
Louis Melville	103.66	Champs Money In Money Out
Sean Holley	103.66	Chinnor Pavilion
Johnny Haines	103.66	Faringdon Town FC
Ben Flanagan-McClelland	103.66	Cue Club Tuesday Open
Alex Ward	102.48	Chinnor Pavilion
Tyler Garrett	100.20	Calstep Newport Academy
Alex Ward	100.20	Chinnor Pavilion

These are individual match averages rather than tournament averages.

My five standout performances

1. Jack Johnson: Four averages above 90, including 104.86 in the final, and a Junior Volts title.
2. Paul Rowley: The day's highest average of 111.33, plus three further performances above 94.
3. Johnny Haines: Nine victories, a 103.66 and the Faringdon title.
4. Alex Ward: Eight victories, two three-figure averages and victory at Chinnor Pavilion.
5. Joe Bagguley: Nine victories and five leading averages between 88.41 and 93.94.

Special mentions to Tyler Garrett, Ben Flanagan-McClelland, Connor Hopkins and Cori Wiltshire.

Another 60 tournaments added to Q4QS

What I particularly enjoyed about Tuesday's results was the variety.

There were players producing three-figure averages, juniors competing at an extremely good standard, and plenty of tournaments where consistency and simply getting over the winning line were more important than one spectacular performance.

Jack Johnson probably gets my vote for the standout performance. Four averages above 90 and a 104.86 in a junior final is something worth celebrating.

But that's just my choice. There were plenty of other players who had a very good Tuesday.

The full results, rankings and player statistics are available at QuestForQSchool.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Carl Batchelor Hits 118.66, Johnny Haines Records 117.08 and Ashton Brown Wins in Bristol – 21 October 2026

Wednesday brought another 93 tournaments into the Q4QS Database, and once again there were some outstanding performances across the country.

Carl Batchelor produced the highest average of the day with 118.66, while Johnny Haines wasn't far behind with 117.08.

Closer to home, Ashton Brown won at the Sartan Club in Bristol, Danny Lauby took the title at Bengeworth Club in Evesham, and Jamie Kay won in Bodmin.

There were also victories for Kieran Smith in Stonehouse, Darren Herbert in Chard and Danny Humphries in Salisbury.

There were nine WADC competitions and another busy evening of junior darts, including a particularly impressive performance from Joshua Russell.

Carl Batchelor produces a remarkable 118.66 in the final

At the Pioneer Bar in Stoke, Carl Batchelor produced what was, for me, one of the most impressive performances of Wednesday's results.

Batchelor defeated Matt Carr 3–0 in the final, averaging an extraordinary 118.66 in the deciding match.

Carr himself averaged 97.50, which makes Batchelor's performance even more impressive.

Batchelor finished with eight victories and also recorded 90.18 against Riley Emery.

There's always something particularly impressive about producing your best darts in a final. It's one thing to throw a huge average during a group match, but quite another to do it when the title is on the line.

And 118.66 is an exceptional average at any level.

Johnny Haines produces four three-figure averages in Didcot

If Batchelor produced the best individual performance, Johnny Haines probably deserves the award for the most consistently impressive scoring of the evening.

At GWRSA Club in Didcot, Haines won eight matches and defeated Jayden Jones 3–1 in the final.

His leading averages were remarkable:

• 117.08 against Roger Crook
• 111.33 against James Sanders
• 107.36 against Simon Ward
• 100.76 in the final against Jayden Jones

That's four averages above 100 in one tournament.

Roger Crook also contributed an excellent 102.87 in his match against Haines.

For me, this is exactly the sort of performance that deserves recognition. One exceptional average can happen in a short match, but producing four three-figure averages across an evening suggests something considerably more substantial.

Haines had also produced some excellent darts on Tuesday, so he's certainly a player worth watching for current form.

Ashton Brown wins at the Sartan Club in Bristol

At the Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, Ashton Brown defeated Adrian Wood 3–0 in the final.

Brown's standout performance was a 104.86 average in the final, the highest recorded at the venue.

He also produced averages of 96.97 against Kyle Matthews and 95.94 against Ellis Radford.

Brown completed eight victories, while Wood finished with six.

It's another good result from one of Bristol's regular grassroots competitions. The Sartan Club continues to provide a strong local competitive environment, and performances like Brown's show the quality that can emerge from these weekly tournaments.

Danny Lauby wins at Bengeworth Club

It was another competitive evening at Bengeworth Club in Evesham, where Danny Lauby defeated Pete Hughes 3–2 in the final.

Lauby finished with seven victories, while Hughes collected six.

Interestingly, the highest average of the evening came from Vince Tipple, who recorded 103.66 against Alfie Gamage.

Jason Reeve also impressed with 93.94 against Lewis Clements, while Lauby recorded 92.02 against Reeve.

Hughes produced 91.09 in his own match against Reeve.

It's been an interesting few days at Bengeworth. Tipple has been producing some excellent performances, Hughes won at Bretforton on Tuesday, and now Lauby has taken the Wednesday title.

That's exactly the sort of sequence of results that makes following players' form across different tournaments worthwhile.

Jamie Kay takes the Bodmin title

At Bodmin Band & Social Club in Cornwall, Jamie Kay defeated James Chudleigh 3–2 in the final.

Kay completed eight victories and produced a particularly consistent series of averages.

His leading performances included 91.09, 88.84, 88.41 and 86.32.

James Wallace also impressed with 91.04, while Leo Strick and Chudleigh each collected six victories.

Kay's performance is a good example of how consistency can be just as important as producing one exceptional average.

Four performances above 86 and eight victories represent an excellent evening's darts.

Kieran Smith wins in Stonehouse

At Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse, Kieran Smith defeated Alex Cantillion 3–1 in the final.

Smith won seven matches and produced the competition's highest average of 90.18 against Andy Hammond.

He also recorded 79.11 and 78.89.

Cameron Oram and Josh Lewis each collected six victories, while Cantillion finished with five.

Another competitive evening at a regular Gloucestershire venue.

Darren Herbert wins in Chard

At the Choughs Hotel in Chard, Darren Herbert defeated Paul Gardiner 3–1 in the final.

Herbert completed eight victories, with Gardiner finishing on seven.

Herbert's highest average was 87.53 in the final, and he also produced 81.98 against Warren Bowditch.

Gardiner recorded 81.24 against Jordan Baker, while Kieran Spurdle contributed 84.41.

It was a particularly good final performance from Herbert, who saved his highest average for the match that mattered most.

Danny Humphries wins in Salisbury

At Stratford Social Club, Danny Humphries defeated Liam Glister 3–2 in the final.

Humphries won six matches, recording averages of 86.71, 85.08 and 84.44 among his leading performances.

Glister produced the highest average of the competition, 88.41 against Joe Blundell.

Ben Small and Glister each collected five victories.

This was another good example of a player combining consistent scoring with enough match wins to take the title.

Junior darts: Joshua Russell hits 107.36

Wednesday's junior results included some particularly impressive performances.

At the Junior Volts event at Pilcs Sports & Social Club in Pontypool, Joshua Russell recorded a remarkable 107.36 average against Ethan Smith.

Russell also produced 89.73, 88.41 and 84.76 during the competition.

The tournament was won by Archie Bourne, who defeated Evan Haines 3–0 in the final and completed seven victories.

Russell's 107.36 was one of the ten highest individual averages across Wednesday's entire report, not simply among the junior events.

That's a performance well worth highlighting.

Elsewhere, Harvey Stringer won at the Bull Room in Stowmarket, defeating Remy Stapleton 3–2. Stringer finished with nine victories and recorded averages of 88.41, 83.50 and 79.11.

Hayden Dunlavey won at Bostin Darts 180 Bar in Blackheath, defeating George Hobbs 3–1, while Liam Taylor recorded the highest average there at 91.09.

At the Kings Pub in Exeter, Oliver Hutchings defeated Lewis Woods 3–1, completing six victories.

And at the National Junior Darts Association Elite event, Harry Childs produced a 98.02 average and finished with eight victories.

It's encouraging to see so many junior competitions taking place regularly, particularly when youngsters are producing averages that compare favourably with those recorded in senior events.

WADC: Nine competitions across Wednesday

There were nine WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Wednesday's results.

The highest recorded WADC average came from Anna Pearce at MK Cocktail Lounge & Sports Bar in Bodmin.

Pearce produced 73.92 against Tracey Hancock, along with 66.80 against Claire Canham.

However, it was Courtney Hancock who took the title, defeating Pearce 3–2 in the final.

At BRWCA in Hampshire, Milly Milligan defeated Pennie Lewis 3–2, although Lewis recorded the competition's highest average of 73.32.

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Kelsey Haigh defeated Natalie Baxter 3–2, while Elsie-Mai Tarrant produced the event's best average of 62.63.

Wednesday's WADC winners were:

Winner	Venue	Final
Grace Holman	Arrows, Resolven	Beat Kayliegh Webster 3–2
Milly Milligan	BRWCA, Hampshire	Beat Pennie Lewis 3–2
Geraldine Fielding	Beechwood Club, Blackburn	Beat Celia Allen 3–2
Nicky Denham	Bradmoor Farm, Aylesbury	Beat Cerys Skyrme-Davies 3–1
Jackie Nicholl	Challow British Legion	Beat Hannah Eynstone 3–0
Courtney Hancock	MK Lounge, Bodmin	Beat Anna Pearce 3–2
Kelsey Haigh	Stratford Social Club, Salisbury	Beat Natalie Baxter 3–2
Juliet Findley	Men of March	Beat Millie Jolley 3–1
Sonia Lewis	Monty Club, Newtown	Beat Louise Davies 3–2

It's good to see nine WADC events contributing to the daily results, particularly with competitions in Cornwall, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Wales among them.

These results deserve to be included alongside the open events, and the regular competition is helping build a much clearer picture of women's grassroots darts performances.

Other Wednesday winners worth mentioning

There were plenty of other performances worth highlighting beyond the featured tournaments.

At the Sandpiper in Christchurch, Ricky King defeated Jayden Walker 3–2 in the final. King recorded averages of 103.66, 102.89 and 100.20, while Walker produced an excellent 113.21 in the final.

At Caerau Athletic in Maesteg, Mike Huntley won eight matches and defeated Chris James 3–0 in the final. Huntley recorded 107.36, while Gavin Sterio produced three separate averages of 100.20.

Kaya Baysal was particularly impressive in the Pendle Super Series, winning nine matches and recording averages of 107.36, 93.94, 88.41 and 85.46 before defeating Michael Pearson in the final.

At Shooters Bar in Leominster, Alec McCready defeated Kane Price 3–1, while Chris Hurds recorded the venue's highest average of 103.66.

And at the Monty Club in Newtown, Martin Thomas defeated Wayne Meredith 3–2, recording averages of 97.14, 95.94 and 93.94.

Another consistent performance from a player who has been producing some very good darts recently.

Wednesday's highest recorded averages

Player	Average	Tournament / venue
Carl Batchelor	118.66	Pioneer Bar, Stoke
Johnny Haines	117.08	GWRSA Club, Didcot
Jayden Walker	113.21	Sandpiper, Christchurch
George Cressey	111.33	6 and 1 Club, Tonbridge
Addison Hefferon	111.33	Sports Bar & Lounge, Milton Keynes
Jake B-Smith	111.33	Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury
Joshua Russell	107.36	Junior Volts, Pontypool
Kaya Baysal	107.36	Pendle Super Series
Mike Huntley	107.36	Caerau Athletic, Maesteg
Brett Claydon	107.36	Men of March

These are individual match averages, not tournament-wide averages. Johnny Haines also recorded another 111.33 during his evening in Didcot.

What stands out is the number of different venues represented. These weren't exceptional averages concentrated in one tournament; they were being produced across the country.

My five standout performances

1. Johnny Haines – Four averages above 100, including 117.08, and eight victories in Didcot.
2. Carl Batchelor – A remarkable 118.66 average in the final at Stoke.
3. Ashton Brown – Eight victories at the Sartan Club, including a 104.86 average in the final and further averages of 96.97 and 95.94.
4. Kaya Baysal – Nine victories in the Pendle Super Series, including a 107.36 average.
5. Joshua Russell – A 107.36 average in the Junior Volts competition at Pontypool.

Special mentions go to Ricky King, Jayden Walker, Martin Thomas, Danny Lauby and Jamie Kay.

Another 93 tournaments added to Q4QS

Wednesday was another reminder of just how much competitive darts is taking place every week.

There were excellent performances in the South West, Wales and across the rest of the country. The WADC programme continued with nine competitions, while the junior events produced some averages that would stand out in almost any tournament.

For me, the most interesting performance was probably Johnny Haines. Carl Batchelor's 118.66 was the highest average, but four three-figure averages from Haines in one evening is something quite special.

It's also why I'm increasingly interested in looking beyond individual results and following players' form over their last 20 matches, compared with the 20 before that.

A big average is always worth celebrating, but repeated strong performances tell us much more.

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.

You can explore the latest results and player statistics at questforqschool.com.

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.
