Yesterday’s Darts Results: Adam Beck Hits 111.33 as 48 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 25 September 2026

Yesterday's Results – Friday 25 September 2026

Friday brought another 48 tournaments into the Q4QS database, with action stretching across England and Wales and another varied mix of Vaults, limited-average events, junior darts and women's competition.

The biggest average of the day came from Adam Beck, who hit a huge 111.33, while Paul Jones and Harley Glycos both went beyond 107.

There were also some interesting stories closer to the traditional Q4QS heartland, with Paul Gardiner winning in Taunton, Dale Mills in Yeovil, Freddie Harper at Portishead and Pete Hughes coming through a strong Bengeworth tournament.

Beck produces the biggest number of the day

The highest recorded average across Friday's results belonged to Adam Beck, who fired a 111.33 at The Black Swan in Melton Mowbray.

Beck's tournament eventually ended against Scott Boryszczuk, while James Young went on to take the title after beating Darren Tyler 3–2 in the final.

It is another good example of why these daily reports need to look beyond the tournament winners. Sometimes the performance that jumps off the page comes from someone who doesn't ultimately lift the trophy.

Paul Jones hits 107.36 at Bengeworth

There were more big numbers at The Bengeworth in Evesham.

Paul Jones averaged 107.36 in a 2–0 victory over Jason Reeve, while Danny Lauby hit 100.20 and Darrel Williams reached 93.94.

But the tournament belonged to Pete Hughes.

Hughes came through to beat Lauby 3–2 in the final and finished with seven victories. Darrel Williams, Lauby and Reece Pinches all recorded six wins, underlining the depth of the tournament.

Glycos hits 107 as Garrett takes the title

Wales also supplied one of Friday's biggest performances.

At the Thatchers Fusion Sub80 Series, Harley Glycos averaged 107.05, making it the third-highest individual average across all 48 tournaments.

Tyler Garrett also broke the ton with 100.20 and went on to win the event, beating Rico Anderson 5–4 in the final.

Garrett finished with nine victories, making this one of the strongest all-round performances of Friday's results.

Gardiner wins in Taunton

At Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, Paul Gardiner came through a competitive field to take the title.

Gardiner beat Steve Boundy 3–2 in the final and finished with eight victories, while Boundy actually led the win count with nine.

Richard Frost produced the highest average of the tournament at 93.94, with Gardiner reaching 91.09.

Another good example of the difference between producing the night's biggest individual number and putting together the run required to win the whole tournament.

Mills wins in Yeovil

Dale Mills took the rearranged Vault at Bullets Sports Bar in Yeovil, beating Robbie Roy 3–2 in the final.

Mills recorded eight wins across the event.

The leading averages came from Zac Rendell and Robbie Roy, who both reached 91.09, while Roy also produced an 83.50.

Mills might not have topped the average table, but he was the player still standing at the end.

Harper takes the Portishead Friday Open

At Portishead Workmens Darts, Freddie Harper won the Friday Open after beating Max Maggs 3–2 in the final.

Harper, Chris Clark and Logun Godbeer all finished with seven victories.

Clark produced the highest average at 88.41, while Harper's best was 81.24 and Godbeer reached 77.08.

It was another substantial Friday night competition, with 49 matches recorded.

Ryan Davies dominates at Wattsville

There was another Welsh performance worth highlighting at Wattsville National Club.

Ryan Davies didn't simply win the tournament – he also dominated its leading averages.

Davies hit 100.20, followed by 92.02, 91.09 and 88.41, before beating Xavier Jones 3–2 in the final.

Seven wins and four of the five highest listed averages makes that one of Friday's more complete tournament performances.

WADC: Watson and Hughes take Friday titles

There were two WADC Vault events among Friday's results.

At Briton Ferry Workies, Eve Watson beat Rhian Osullivan 3–2 to take the title. Watson recorded six victories and produced the event's two highest averages, 84.66 and 81.37.

At the United Services Club in Harwich, Shaunna Hughes won the second WADC Vault, beating Amy Attridge 3–0 in the final. Hughes finished with four victories, while Attridge produced the tournament's highest listed average of 48.48.

I want the WADC results to remain part of these daily roundups whenever events have been played rather than women's darts disappearing among the much larger number of open tournaments.

Plenty more around the South

There were strong results across the wider southern area too.

Stuart Dutton averaged 100.20 at Danny's Bar in Banbury, although Luke Peacock ultimately took the title. Kevin Dean also hit 100.20 at Woodbridge Hill Working Men's Club in Guildford, where Callum Grealis emerged as champion.

Roger Crook produced a 95.94 and went on to win at GWRSA Club in Didcot, while Sean Lowndes hit 96.97 at Walderslade Club in Chatham, where Ross Lowe took the title.

There was plenty happening in Wales too, including victories for Richie Limbert in Swansea, Liam Forward in Cardiff and Lucas H Davies at Briton Ferry.

Five performances that caught my eye

  1. Adam Beck – 111.33 — Melton Mowbray
  2. Paul Jones – 107.36 — Evesham
  3. Harley Glycos – 107.05 — Newport
  4. Ryan Davies – 100.20 — Wattsville
  5. Danny Lauby – 100.20 — Evesham

Sean Holley, Reggie Woollard, Tyler Garrett and Stuart Dutton also reached 100.20 on a day when nine of the ten highest listed performances were at or above the ton.

Another 48 tournaments added to Q4QS

That's another 48 tournaments feeding into Q4QS.

The daily winners and big averages make the headlines, but every one of these competitions adds more information to the rankings, player records, venue histories, form and head-to-head data.

And as the coverage expands further across southern England and Wales, these daily reports should increasingly give us a picture not just of who is winning locally, but of where the strongest grassroots performances are happening across a much wider area.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Shaun Vernall Wins Champion of Champions as Two Players Hit 115.62 Averages (20th September 2026)

Another 47 tournaments from Friday 19 September have been added to the Q4QS database, and this was a particularly interesting batch.

There were two 115.62 averages, several strong Vault 19 performances, more junior results and two WADC events. But for my South and South West coverage, the standout story came at Evesham.

Vernall wins the Champion of Champions

Shaun Vernall won The Food To Go Champion of Champions Finals Night at Evesham Darts Competitions, beating Pete Hughes 5–3 in the final.

It was backed up by some excellent numbers. Vernall produced the best average of the tournament with 100.20, also recording 96.23 and 89.41 during the event.

Hughes was impressive too, reaching 95.77, while Joe Quiney produced a 90.18.

Vernall and Hughes both finished the tournament with six wins, with Quiney recording five.

For Vernall, though, this was the important statistic: another tournament title and one achieved against a strong Evesham field.

Two 115.62 averages

The biggest numbers anywhere in Friday’s data came from Kyle Ison and Roger Crook, who remarkably both recorded 115.62 averages.

Ison produced his at the Vault 19 event at Burghfield Community Sports Association in Reading. The title there went to Archie Self, who beat Paul Self 3–0 in the final and recorded averages of 96.97 and 93.94 on his way through.

Crook did turn his 115.62 into a tournament-winning night.

At Danny’s Bar in Banbury, he added averages of 97.14, 85.89, 83.50 and 82.44 and finished with eight victories before beating Michael Cuddon 3–1 in the final.

That is one of the more impressive complete sets of numbers I’ve seen in these daily reports.

Ellie Harwood wins the Pegasus Ladies Round Robin

There were two tournaments at Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, including another women’s event for the database.

Ellie Harwood won the Ladies Round Robin, beating Shelley Cotterell 3–1 in the final.

Cotterell recorded the tournament’s highest average at 72.73, while Harwood reached 71.57 and finished with six victories.

The Pegasus Under-65 event was won by Peter Taswell, who came through a 4–3 final against Ryan Greenslade. Greenslade recorded the highest average at 79.11, with Brooklyn Anthony reaching 78.05.

Steve Boundy takes Saturday night title

Another result worth picking out came from the Saturday Night Money In Money Out Round Robin.

Steve Boundy took the title with a 4–1 final victory over Leon Taylor, finishing the tournament with seven wins.

The highest average belonged to Ashton Brown at 88.41, while Louis Dance hit 86.89 and Boundy reached 82.17.

More big Vault 19 performances

There were plenty more strong numbers among the Vault 19 events.

At Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury, Sam Morris took the title against Jake B-Smith. Jamie Chaplin produced a huge 107.05, while Morris himself hit 96.97.

Ashley Coleman was particularly consistent in Peterborough, winning the Vault with seven victories while recording 100.20, 96.97 and 93.94 among the leading averages.

At Worthies Sports and Social Club in Winchester, Jamie Kelling beat Henry Povey 3–1 in the final and produced a 94.60 average.

WADC titles for Millie Jolley and Kelly Stevens

And, as part of the continuing Q4QS coverage of the women’s game, I’m including the WADC events in these daily roundups rather than allowing them to disappear among the larger number of open events.

Millie Jolley won the WADC Vault at Fordham RBL, beating Amanda Harwood 3–1 in the final. Harwood recorded the highest average at 62.56.

At The Castle & Falcon in Newark, Kelly Stevens took the second WADC title, defeating Sienna Beck 3–0. Stevens also produced the tournament’s highest average of 68.32.

Friday’s standout averages

At the very top of Friday’s numbers were Kyle Ison and Roger Crook at 115.62, followed by Jamie Chaplin’s 107.05 and Kevin Leadenham’s 103.66.

Shaun Vernall and Ashley Coleman both broke the three-figure barrier with 100.20, while Archie Self, Marc Grace and Sam Morris were among those reaching 96.97.

For my own South and South West coverage, though, Vernall’s Champion of Champions victory at Evesham and Harwood’s win at Pegasus 68 are two of the results that particularly catch my eye.

Another 47 tournaments are now in Q4QS, feeding more results into the growing player records, venue data, rankings, form, head-to-heads and tournament histories.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: 57 Tournaments, Three 107.36 Averages & Thursday Winners – 10 September 2026

Thursday delivered another packed night of grassroots darts, with 57 tournaments added to the Q4QS database.

There was plenty of quality at the top end, with three players hitting 107.36 averages: Andy Smith, Robbie Martin and Lloyd Walker. Carl Wilson was not far behind on 105.11, while several others also broke the 100 barrier.

Hughes wins Worcester Vault

Pete Hughes came through a strong field at The Cue Corner in Worcester, beating Steve Sewell 3–1 in the final.

The standout scoring performance at the venue came from Danny Lauby, who hit 97.53 and 96.97 during the night. Hughes himself produced an excellent 95.76 against Lauby before later finishing the tournament with seven wins.

Roy takes Yeovil title

At Yeovil Labour Club, Robbie Roy won the Vault 19.0 event with a 3–0 final victory over Jacob Noyce.

Roy also topped the tournament averages with 93.19, just ahead of Mike Harper's 92.80. Roy finished with six wins, while Harper also reached 91.09 during the event.

Brown wins another busy night at Hangar 61

There were 81 matches recorded at Hangar 61, where John Brown came through to take the Thursday night round robin title.

Brown defeated Corey Oates 3–0 in the final and also produced an 88.14 average earlier in the event. The best figure of the night belonged to Miles O'Toole, who hit 93.94 against Andy Smith.

Owen Smith finished with six wins, while Danny Humphries, Andy Smith, O'Toole and Oates all recorded five.

Kay wins again in Cornwall

After winning in Bodmin on Wednesday, Jamie Kay made it back-to-back winning nights with another Vault title at St Breward AFC & Social Club.

Kay beat Joseph Juleff 3–0 in the final and recorded a best average of 87.49 during the tournament. Neil Meneer and Martin Smith both reached 88.41, while Kay and Juleff finished with seven wins apiece.

Walker combines title with 107.36

Lloyd Walker produced one of the best performances of the entire night at Fareham Social Club.

Walker fired a 107.36 average against Ryan Crowley and went on to take the title, beating Joey Cole 3–0 in the final.

Gary Daniels also impressed with a 103.66, while Walker finished with seven victories and Cole with six.

Smith hits 107.36 and wins in High Wycombe

There was another combination of huge scoring and a tournament victory at Cressex Social Club.

Andy Smith averaged 107.36 against Mick Carlton, added a 93.94 later in the night and eventually beat Andrew Bowler 3–2 in the final.

Smith finished with eight wins, while Bowler and Ian Bartlett both recorded six.

Martin fires 107.36 in Dorchester

Robbie Martin matched the night's top figure with a 107.36 average at Dorchester Trinity Club.

Martin also hit 93.94 and 90.00, although the title went to James Wills, who beat Jay Anderson 3–2 in the final. Martin, Wills, Anderson and Liam Blakeley all finished with five victories.

More South West success

There were more titles across the region.

At The Newtown in Poole, Henry Cooper won with eight victories and produced a 100.20 average on the way, beating Ryan Marten 3–1 in the final.

At Minehead, David Farmer took the Vault title with a 3–0 final win over Brad Furse, recording a best average of 93.94.

Jamie Kay's Cornwall success and Robbie Roy's Yeovil victory added further depth to another strong South West night.

Thursday’s top ten individual averages

  1. Andy Smith — 107.36, Cressex Social Club
  2. Robbie Martin — 107.36, Dorchester Trinity Club
  3. Lloyd Walker — 107.36, Fareham Social Club
  4. Carl Wilson — 105.11, Rusthall Club
  5. Gary Daniels — 103.66, Fareham Social Club
  6. Darren Brown — 103.66, Pinches Cue Club
  7. Jack Johnson — 103.66, Rusthall Club
  8. Rob Butters — 103.66, The Gardeners Arms
  9. Ben Simpson — 103.66, The Wolversdene Club
  10. Josh Richardson — 103.66, Windmill Club

With another 57 tournaments now added, Thursday provides another sizeable block of results for the Q4QS rankings, player records, venue data and form analysis.

Yesterday’s Darts Results – Pete Hughes Fires in 104.86 as 37 Events Hit the Q4QS Database (26th August 2026

 


Another busy Wednesday of grassroots darts saw 37 tournaments added to the Q4QS database for 26 August, with action stretching across the South West and beyond.

There was plenty to pick out, but one of the clearest performances of the night came from Pete Hughes at Evesham Darts Competitions. Hughes took the Round Robin title with a 3–0 final victory over Shaun Vernall, producing a superb 104.86 average along the way.

Hughes delivers at Evesham

Pete Hughes continues to be a familiar name around the regional circuit, and this was another strong night.

His 104.86 was one of the best recorded averages across Wednesday's results, while Mitchell Leeming also impressed at Evesham with a 95.94, and Darrel Williams recorded an 88.41.

Hughes completed the job by defeating Vernall 3–0 in the final, adding another title to his recent results.

McCready takes Leominster honours

Alec McCready came through the Money In Money Out competition at Leominster & District Darts League.

McCready defeated Oscar Evans-Clay 3–1 in the final and also produced a 90.18 average during the tournament.

It was another useful result for McCready in an increasingly competitive part of the regional grassroots scene.

Richard Smith edges a seven-leg final

There was a much tighter finish at the Purton Red House Round Robin, where Richard Smith defeated James Roberts 4–3.

Ben Spencer was among the notable performers there, recording an 88.41 average.

Sanderson takes another JDC VOLTS title

The junior circuit again featured heavily in Wednesday's programme.

Charlie Sanderson won JDC VOLTS Series 7 at The Kings, defeating Charlie Fone 3–1 in the final.

With JDC and VOLTS competitions now appearing regularly in the Q4QS results database, they are also beginning to provide a much clearer picture of the young players producing results week after week.

Huntley wins 4–0

At Vetz Sports and Social Club, Mike Huntley produced one of the more emphatic final results of the night.

Huntley defeated Lloyd Sterio 4–0 to take the title and also registered an 88.41 average during the competition.

Pairs success in Devizes

There was also pairs action at the Devizes Town Pairs Special, where Sheppard/Perkins took the honours.

They defeated Dicker/Ferguson 3–0 in the final, with the winning pair recording an 80.52 average during the event.

Big numbers elsewhere

While the Q4QS daily roundup puts particular emphasis on the South West, there were some huge numbers elsewhere among Wednesday's 37 recorded competitions.

Andy Smith produced the highest recorded average of the day with 115.62 at the Bradmoor Farm Wednesday Vault Break 2. Adam Mould hit 108.15, while Chas Barstow recorded 107.36 and 104.27 during MIMO 2608.

Sam Jackson and Mark "Bully" Cannon were also among those breaking the 100 mark.

It was another night showing the depth of darts being played away from the major televised circuits — from established regional names to juniors and local players putting together eye-catching performances.

With 37 more tournaments now logged, all of the results continue to feed into the growing Q4QS database, rankings and player statistics.

Q4QS Weekly Spotlight: Three Players Who Caught My Eye This Week (week ending 16rh August 2026)

 



Another seven days of grassroots darts has produced plenty of candidates for the Q4QS Weekly Spotlight, but this week's final three all caught my eye for very different reasons.

For Pete Hughes, it was the sheer volume of success. Four tournament victories in five days made him almost impossible to leave out. Ricky King combined three titles with some exceptional scoring, including averages north of 100. And Owen Bates saved one of the week's biggest individual performances for Saturday, coming through a large field to win the Ilfracombe Summer Open.

As always, this isn't designed simply to reproduce the week's results or pick the three highest averages. I'm looking for the players whose performances and stories genuinely stood out to me over the previous seven days.

Pete Hughes

Player Profile

There isn't much Pete Hughes hasn't experienced on the grassroots circuit, and the sheer scale of his 2026 record illustrates just how regularly he competes.

Across 818 recorded matches, Hughes has won 698, giving him an outstanding 85.3% win rate from 124 events. Even more impressively, those appearances have already produced 51 tournament victories, alongside 11 runner-up finishes and 26 semi-finals.

His overall match average sits at 78.50, while his scoring ceiling is considerably higher. His best recorded performance is a remarkable 118.66, and his top five also contain averages of 115.62, 112.73 and 111.33.

Hughes has also consistently proved capable of beating strong opposition. His database includes five recorded victories over Joe Quiney, including a 6–0 win while averaging 92.02 and another 3–0 success with a 93.94.

This Week

Even by Hughes' standards, this was some week.

It began on Monday at The Bengeworth in Evesham, where Hughes collected the title after seven victories, beating Matt Metrovich in the final. His run included two 93.94 averages.

Twenty-four hours later he did it again.

At Bretforton Sports Club, Hughes won eight matches to take another Vault 18 title and stepped the scoring up considerably. He produced 103.66, 100.78 and 98.48 during the event before defeating Dave Honey 3–0 in the final.

Thursday brought title number three at Cue Corner in Worcester. Hughes recorded seven wins, including a 91.09 average, before beating Antony Butler 3–0 in the final.

And on Friday, it was back to Bengeworth.

Victories over George Nurdin and Mitchell Leeming took him into another final, where he edged Richard Coombes 3–2 to complete an extraordinary fourth tournament victory of the week.

Four titles in five days is a remarkable return, and made Hughes one of the simplest Weekly Spotlight selections I've had to make so far.


Ricky King

Player Profile

Ricky King's database sample isn't as large as Hughes', but what he's done with it is remarkable.

King has won 65 of 72 recorded matches, an exceptional 90.3% win rate, and has already converted nine of his 12 recorded tournament appearances into victories. He also enters the end of this week with a perfect 10–0 record across his last ten matches.

His overall average is 81.35, but again the headline numbers show a much higher ceiling. King has a best recorded average of 111.33, while his five best include 107.36, 104.75, 103.66 and 96.97.

He has also demonstrated that ability away from the local Vault circuit. At the Isle of Man Festival he defeated players including Pat Scurfield, Connor Bowler and Graham Jenkins, with the Bowler victory coming alongside a 104.75 average.

This Week

King's week began with victory at Swanage RBL.

He produced 103.66 against David Elm, added a 93.94 against Jordan Cluskey and then averaged 90.18 in a 3–0 final victory over Alfie Reeves.

Then came Thursday at The Kings Arms in Wallisdown, where King went even bigger.

A 107.36 average against William Young was the standout number of another title-winning run. King won eight matches during the event before defeating Tom Crocker 3–0 in the final.

Twenty-four hours later he completed the hat-trick at Sturminster Football Club.

King defeated Christopher Roberts with a 93.94 average, averaged 93.52 against Jordan Cluskey in the semi-final and then beat Callum Harrison 3–0 to take another title.

That's three titles across the week, accompanied by 107.36, 103.66, 93.94 and 93.52 performances.

For a player already winning more than 90% of his recorded matches, this was another emphatic demonstration of just how difficult Ricky King is proving to beat.


Owen Bates

Player Profile

Owen Bates is a very different selection from the other two.

He is already competing regularly within the professional system, with his 2026 record including Players Championship, Development Tour, European Tour qualifier and other PDC appearances.

Across 185 recorded matches, Bates has won 124, giving him a 67% win rate against what is often considerably stronger opposition than the typical grassroots field. His overall match average is an excellent 87.79, rising to a Q4QS average of 88.96.

His best recorded average is 104.50 against Stephen Burton at Players Championship 5, while he has also produced 104.01 on the Development Tour and averages above 101 against Bradley Brooks and Madars Razma.

The level of his opposition is perhaps even more revealing. Bates has beaten William O'Connor, Cameron Menzies, Adam Gawlas and Beau Greaves, while his losses include matches against Chris Dobey and Kevin Doets.

This Week

Unlike Hughes and King, Bates didn't need a collection of tournament victories to catch my eye.

He needed one very good Saturday.

The Ilfracombe Summer Open contained 127 recorded matches, and Bates came through 11 matches to lift the title.

His knockout run became increasingly impressive as the tournament progressed.

Bates averaged 99.62 to beat Clint Parkhouse, 96.97 in a 4–0 quarter-final victory over Mathew Hern and 97.62 while defeating Andy Steed 4–1 in the semi-final. He then completed the job with a 5–2 victory over Nigel Gullon.

The result also extended Bates' current recorded form to ten consecutive victories.

It's a slightly different Weekly Spotlight story, but that's exactly why I've included him. A big field, 11 victories, three averages between 96 and 100 in the decisive stages and a tournament title made the Ilfracombe run one of the standout individual performances anywhere in this week's results.

Yesterday’s Darts Results South and South West – Thursday 13 August 2026

 


Thursday produced another huge night of grassroots darts, with 49 tournaments added to the Q4QS database, stretching from regular Vault competitions to limited-average events, junior darts and women’s competition.

There were plenty of familiar names among the winners, but also some excellent individual performances – including a 111.33 average from Jamie Kelling and several players breaking the 100 mark.

Freeman takes the honours at Hangar 61

After previewing the Thursday Night Round Robin at Hangar 61 yesterday, Martyn Freeman came through a competitive field to take the title.

Freeman defeated Corey Oates 3–0 in the final, completing an eight-win night. Liam Moore again showed why he is becoming a player to watch at the venue, recording a 93.94, while Joe Preedy also hit 93.94. Freeman's best recorded performance included an 84.59 average against Moore.

It was a good example of what I mentioned in the preview: these regular round-robin competitions can be extremely difficult to call because there are so many players capable of producing a run on the night.

Harper wins in Yeovil

At Yeovil Labour Club, Mike Harper was the winner, defeating Kevin Dalwood 3–0 in the final.

Harper won eight matches during the tournament and also produced the highest recorded average at the event, a 93.94. Dalwood reached the final with six victories, while Ben Collins also recorded six wins.

Another title for Pete Hughes

Pete Hughes continued his recent run by winning the Vault event at The Cue Corner in Worcester.

Hughes defeated Antony Butler 3–0 in the final, with both players recording seven victories during the tournament. The biggest averages at the venue came from Elliot Smith and Jamie Chaplin, who both reached 96.97, while Hughes recorded a 91.09.

Lawrey wins in Plymouth

Down in Plymouth, Scott Lawrey took the Vault title at Legends Lounge, beating Andy Steed 3–0 in the final.

Lawrey recorded seven victories and produced a best recorded average of 91.09, while Steed reached the final after another strong showing of his own, including an 86.71.

Robbie Martin wins at Shooters

There was another strong field at Shooters Bar in Leominster, where Robbie Martin defeated Matt Yarrow 3–2 to take the title.

Martin finished with eight wins, but one of the performances of the entire night came from Alfie Yarrow, who fired in a 103.66 average. Yarrow also produced two separate 91.09 performances during the event.

Ricky King produces 107.36

Ricky King wasn't just a winner at The Kings Arms in Wallisdown – he also produced one of Thursday's biggest numbers.

King defeated Tom Crocker 3–0 in the final and recorded eight wins, but the standout statistic was his 107.36 average against William Young.

That was the second-highest individual average recorded across Thursday's tournaments.

Kelling tops the averages

The biggest recorded average of the day belonged to Jamie Kelling, who hit an excellent 111.33 at The Wolversdene Club in Andover.

The tournament itself went to Paul Hogan, who beat Ben Simpson 3–2 in the final. Hogan also produced a pair of 100.20 averages during his run to the title.

Elsewhere, Archie Self hit 104.86 at Hotshots Sports Bar in Bletchley, while Ryan Walsh, Richie Edwards, Kurt Parry, Daniel Varney and Alfie Yarrow were among those recording 103.66 averages.

Junior darts

There was plenty happening in the junior game too.

At the JDC VOLTS Series 7 at Arrows, Resolven, Callum Smith defeated Jenson Ellaway 3–2 in the final, while Jack Powell produced the event's highest recorded average at 91.09.

At Cogan Coronation in Penarth, Dylan Person won eight matches on his way to the title, beating Archie Lane 3–1 in the final and recording the tournament's highest average of 74.70.

Mary Enos wins WADC Vault

There was also a victory for Mary Enos in the WADC Vault 2.0 at The Social Bull in Blackwood.

Enos defeated Elisha Perry 3–0 in the final and recorded five victories across the event.

Another busy Thursday

With 49 tournaments added, Thursday again demonstrated the scale of darts taking place below the professional game.

From Martyn Freeman winning at Hangar 61 and Mike Harper taking the honours in Yeovil to huge averages from Jamie Kelling, Ricky King and Alfie Yarrow, there was plenty happening across another packed evening.

And that is exactly what I'm trying to capture with Q4QS – not simply who won, but the players producing performances worth noticing throughout grassroots darts.

Yesterday’s Darts Results South and South West (12th August 2026) – Pete Hughes Shines as 51 Tournaments Hit the Q4QS Database

 


Tuesday produced another packed night of grassroots darts, with 51 tournaments added to the Q4QS database from across the country.

As usual, the focus here is primarily on the South West and surrounding areas, and there was plenty to pick out. Pete Hughes produced the standout local performance at Bretforton, while there were victories for Lee Andrews in Bristol, Warren Ryan at Portishead and Daren Field in Chard.

Further afield, some huge individual averages were recorded on a night where several players broke through the 100 barrier.

Pete Hughes Impresses Again at Bretforton

One of the performances of the night came from Pete Hughes at the Vault 18.0 event at Bretforton Sports Club, Evesham.

Hughes went all the way to the title, defeating Dave Honey 3–0 in the final, and his numbers across the tournament were particularly impressive.

He recorded a 103.66 average against Vicky Barnett and followed that with a 100.78 against Dave Barnett. Another 98.48 came during his meeting with Mitchell Leeming as Hughes accumulated eight wins across the event.

Antony Butler also registered a 93.94, while Mitchell Leeming hit 93.08.

It was another strong night at Bretforton and Hughes continues to be a name regularly appearing among the better performers in these results round-ups.

Lee Andrews Takes Bristol Victory

At Bessellscotts in Bristol, it was Lee Andrews who emerged victorious.

Andrews defeated Matthew Reddy 3–0 in the final and recorded five wins during the tournament. His best recorded average was 78.60, with further efforts of 75.74, 75.15 and 73.92 appearing among the leading performances at the venue.

Matthew Reddy also collected five victories, while Joe Preedy reached four.

Warren Ryan Wins at Portishead

There was a competitive field once again at Portishead Workmens Darts, where the Tuesday Open also offered a prize for the furthest-progressing under-55 player.

Warren Ryan took the title, beating Steve Boundy 4–2 in the final.

Interestingly, Boundy produced several of the best individual averages of the tournament, including an 85.89, but Ryan ultimately claimed the main prize. Both players finished the night with eight recorded wins.

Daren Field Wins in Chard

Daren Field was another familiar name among Tuesday's winners, taking the Vault 18.0 event at The Choughs Hotel in Chard.

Field defeated Kieran Spurdle 3–1 in the final, finishing with seven victories for the night.

Darren Herbert recorded the highest average at the venue with 85.89, while Field produced an 85.03 during his victory over Herbert.

Plenty More Across the South West

Tuesday's programme stretched much further across the region.

At the JDC VOLTS Series event in Minehead, Kyle Chivers took the title after beating Aaron Rea 3–1 in the final. Chivers recorded eight wins during the tournament.

Further south at Indian Queens in Cornwall, Gareth Griffiths enjoyed an excellent evening. Griffiths won the tournament and produced averages of 98.02, 96.97, 96.97 and 94.66 among his recorded performances.

The Tiverton event did not have a winner/final detected in the available match data, so I won't attribute a tournament victory there. However, Andy Steed recorded a 100.20 average, while Craig Todd hit 93.94.

Big Numbers Further Afield

There were some eye-catching averages elsewhere in Tuesday's results.

The highest recorded mark was 107.36, achieved independently by Ryan Davies, Liam Cook, Daniel Astbury and John Roberts. Bryan Flew wasn't far behind with a 104.86, while several more players topped 100.

Liam Cook also converted his big scoring into a tournament victory at the PILCS Club in Pontypool, while John Roberts won at The Church Wicketts in Dawley.

It is worth remembering that these are individual match averages rather than tournament averages, but they provide another useful snapshot of the level being produced around the grassroots game.

Another Busy Tuesday in the Database

With 51 tournaments added, Tuesday was another substantial night for the Q4QS database.

Beyond simply recording winners, continuing to collect these results starts to build a much bigger picture: which players are winning regularly, who is producing the strongest numbers, which venues are attracting competitive fields and who may be worth watching over the weeks and months ahead.

And on this particular Tuesday, Pete Hughes' combination of a tournament victory and multiple high averages makes his Bretforton performance particularly difficult to overlook.

Yesterday’s Darts Results South and South West (11th August 2026) – Hughes Wins at Bengeworth, Field Takes Salisbury and Harwood Delivers at the 49 Club

 


Monday brought another packed night of grassroots darts, with 29 tournaments added to the Q4QS database and plenty of strong performances across the South West and wider coverage area.

The featured winners on the graphic tell much of the story, but there was also one result I definitely wanted to make sure was included: Ellie Harwood’s victory at the 49 Club in Weston-super-Mare.

Pete Hughes takes the Bengeworth title

At The Bengeworth in Evesham, Pete Hughes came through another competitive field to take the Vault 18 title.

Hughes defeated Matt Metrovich 3–2 in the final and finished the event with seven victories. He also produced two 93.94 averages during the tournament, underlining the consistency behind the title run.

The highest average of the event actually came from Mitchell Leeming, who fired a superb 103.66, while Luis Cowley-Bryenton also reached 93.94 and Dave Honey produced 91.09.

Riley Milligan wins JDC VOLTS in Salisbury

The latest JDC VOLTS Series 7 event at Stratford Social Club produced a cracking final, with Riley Milligan edging Joshua Stott 3–2.

Both players finished the event with eight wins, while Milligan’s best recorded average was 77.74. Stott topped the scoring with 79.11 and also produced several other solid performances during a very competitive night.

Daren Field takes the Stratford Social Club title

There was more success in Salisbury later in the evening, as Daren Field won the Vault 18 event at Stratford Social Club.

Field defeated Ben Collins 3–1 in the final and finished with seven wins.

The biggest scoring numbers came from Robbie Martin, who produced 96.97 and 93.56, while Collins also reached 88.41 and 86.87 on his way to the final.

Lee Evans impresses in Andover

At The Wolversdene Club in Andover, Lee Evans produced one of the strongest overall title-winning displays of the night.

Evans beat Henry Povey 3–1 in the final, but it was his scoring throughout the tournament that really stood out.

He recorded:

100.20
97.93
89.88
86.71

and finished with eight victories in total.

That is exactly the kind of complete tournament performance that tends to stand out in the Q4QS data.

Ellie Harwood wins at the 49 Club

This is the result that didn’t make the socials picture but absolutely deserves a mention.

At the 49 Club U65 Round Robin in Weston-super-Mare, Ellie Harwood came through a very competitive field to take the title, defeating James Male 3–0 in the final.

Harwood finished the event with eight wins, the most of anyone in the tournament, and produced a best recorded average of 69.91.

James Male won seven matches and twice reached 83.50, while Luke Adams also finished with seven wins. Dave Dawson matched Male’s 83.50 as the joint-highest average of the event.

This was exactly why the 49 Club event looked so interesting beforehand: limited-average competitions often produce genuinely open fields, and Harwood made the most of the opportunity.

Gary Hiscock beats McCarthy in Calne

There was another interesting result at North Star Club in Calne, where Gary Hiscock defeated Josh McCarthy 3–1 in the final.

McCarthy produced the highest average of the entire day with a huge 112.73, but it was Hiscock who ultimately took the title.

Hiscock himself produced 85.08 and 83.63 during the event and completed the night with six wins.

A perfect reminder that the highest average does not always translate into the trophy.

Finlay Cleave wins in Paignton

At 8 Ball Bar & Sports in Paignton, Finlay Cleave claimed the title after beating Andy Steed 3–1 in the final.

Cleave won eight matches and produced averages of 91.09, 89.24 and 88.41 during his run.

The highest individual average there came from Carl McFarlane, who fired an excellent 107.36.

More standout performances

There were some enormous numbers elsewhere too.

Shane Turner produced a stunning sequence at Riverside Club in Wycombe, recording 111.33, 111.33 and 111.31 during a title-winning run.

Alec Small won at Wattsville with a 104.16 in the final, while Ryan Davies hit 100.20 in the same event.

The top individual averages across Monday’s data were led by:

Josh McCarthy – 112.73
Shane Turner – 111.33
Carl McFarlane – 107.36
Stuart Scarsbrook – 107.36
Alec Small – 104.16
Mitchell Leeming – 103.66

Another strong Monday for Q4QS

Monday may have featured fewer tournaments than the weekend, but the quality was certainly there.

Pete Hughes won in Evesham, Riley Milligan took JDC honours in Salisbury, Daren Field won at Stratford Social Club, Lee Evans impressed in Andover and Ellie Harwood came through a highly competitive U65 field at the 49 Club.

With another 29 tournaments now added, the Q4QS database continues to build a clearer picture of who is winning, who is improving and who is producing the standout performances across the grassroots game.

Yesterday's Darts Results South and South West– 31 July 2026

 


Thirty-nine tournaments were added to the Q4QS database on Friday, making it another busy evening across the grassroots darts scene. As always, the South West produced plenty of eye-catching performances, with several familiar names lifting Vault titles, while there were also standout displays from around the country featuring some exceptional three-dart averages.

The South West was once again at the heart of the action.

Pete Hughes claimed the Vault 18.0 title at The Bengeworth Club, Evesham, defeating Graham Hall 3-1 in the final. While Hughes lifted the trophy, it was Joe Quiney who produced one of the performances of the night, firing in a superb 111.33 average, with Vince Tipple also breaking the 107 barrier during an excellent evening of darts.

Cornwall also celebrated a winner as Jamie Kay enjoyed an outstanding run to victory at St Breward AFC & Social Club. Kay defeated Dennis Bryant 3-1 in the final and impressed throughout the night, recording four of the venue's five highest averages while winning ten matches across the competition.

Gloucestershire provided another high-quality event where Shaun Vernall edged Joe Bagguley 3-2 in a closely fought final at Saintbridge Sports Club. Paul Meyer produced the headline average of 100.20 during the evening, while Bagguley also recorded two performances above 93, underlining the strength of the field.

In Somerset, Andy Steed lifted the title at Bullets Sports Bar, Yeovil, overcoming Ben Collins 3-1 in the final. Daren Field and George Hughes both posted impressive 96.97 averages, highlighting the quality throughout the competition rather than just the eventual winner.

Taunton's Pegasus 68 Club saw Steven Rees defeat Jack Bellingham 3-0 in the final. Bellingham produced the night's highest averages at the venue, but Rees was clinical when it mattered most to secure another Vault title.

The women's action at Bengeworth saw Jane Price defeat Rachel Curtis 3-2 to take the WADC Vault title, rounding off another successful evening for one of the South West's busiest venues.

Away from the South West there were several exceptional performances.

The standout average of the day belonged to Shane Turner, who produced a stunning 120.24 average at East Challow before Lee Evans eventually claimed the title. Elsewhere, Roger Crook, Mick Rodgers, Jake Eichen and Jack Harvey all featured among the day's highest averages, while Paul Rowley and Luke Harding both exceeded the 104 mark in their respective events.

Another 39 tournaments added to the database demonstrates the incredible depth of grassroots darts currently being played across the UK. Every evening brings new winners, new standout performances and more movement within the Q4QS rankings, with Friday's action providing another excellent snapshot of the strength of local darts.
