Yesterday's Darts Results: Joshua Russell Hits 115.62, Steve Haggerty Shines in Derby and Henry Cooper Wins in Taunton – 23 October 2026

Friday brought another 68 tournaments into the Q4QS Database, with some outstanding performances across the country.

Joshua Russell recorded the highest match average of the day, a superb 115.62 in Cardiff, while Steve Haggerty produced 109.98 in the final at Derby's Iron Ram.

There were also three players recording 107.36 at the Royal Oak in Rhyl, including eventual winner Luke Newport.

Closer to home, Henry Cooper put together an excellent evening in Taunton, Pete Hughes won in Evesham, and CJ Ayres took another Street Darts Organisation title.

There was also a WADC competition at Bradmoor Farm, while the Junior Volts programme continued with tournaments in Aylesford, Ryde and Leeds.

Henry Cooper impresses in Taunton

One of Friday's standout performances came at Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, where Henry Cooper defeated Dave Fisher 3–0 in the final.

Cooper finished with seven victories and produced an impressive collection of averages: 93.94, 93.94, 91.09 and 88.41.

That's the sort of consistency I particularly like to see. A single high average is always worth mentioning, but producing several strong performances throughout a tournament tells us rather more.

Nick Eggbeer actually recorded the highest individual average at the venue, hitting 100.20 against Aaron Glynn.

Dave Fisher collected six victories on his way to the final, but Cooper was the player who came away with the title.

Pete Hughes wins at the Bengeworth in Evesham

At the Bengeworth Club, Pete Hughes enjoyed another successful Friday evening, defeating Richard Bambridge 3–0 in the final.

Hughes finished with eight victories, the most at the venue, and recorded averages of 88.41 and 88.12 among his best performances.

There were some impressive displays elsewhere in the competition.

Mitchell Leeming recorded the highest average of the evening at 91.09, while Jason Reeve produced 89.70.

Reeve and Bambridge each collected six victories, with Reece Pinches and Leeming finishing on five.

It was another competitive night in Evesham, with Hughes ultimately proving the most successful player.

Joshua Russell records 115.62 in Cardiff

The highest average in Friday's results came at Splott Albion Pavilion in Cardiff.

Joshua Russell produced an outstanding 115.62 against Kurt Parry, who himself was playing some excellent darts.

Parry recorded averages of 111.33, 107.36 and 105.23 during the evening, giving him three of the strongest individual performances across the entire day's results.

Yet neither player finished as tournament champion.

That honour went to Mark Hyde, who defeated Russell 3–2 in the final.

Hyde and Russell both finished with seven victories, while Parry collected six.

I think this is one of the more interesting results of the evening. Russell produced the highest average, Parry put together a remarkable series of performances, but Hyde was the player who won the tournament.

It's a good reminder that the highest average doesn't always translate into the title.

Steve Haggerty produces a superb final in Derby

At the Iron Ram in Derby, Steve Haggerty defeated Ash Weaver 3–0 in the final.

And Haggerty certainly saved some of his best darts for the deciding match.

He recorded a 109.98 average in the final, having also produced 104.86 earlier in the competition.

Weaver was no passenger, either. His leading averages included 100.20, 96.97 and 96.23, the latter coming in the final.

Both finalists finished with seven victories.

It's another example of a final where the standard of darts was particularly impressive. To average almost 110 while winning the title is an excellent achievement.

Luke Newport wins a high-quality evening in Rhyl

There was a remarkable collection of averages at the Royal Oak in Rhyl.

Three players recorded exactly 107.36 during the competition:

• Kelson Hughes, against Dave Hornby.
• Steven Morris, against Scott Millington.
• Luke Newport, against Darren Southall.

Newport went on to win the tournament, defeating Baz Tym 3–1 in the final and finishing with eight victories.

Tym collected seven victories and recorded averages of 96.97 and 91.09.

Kelson Hughes also finished with six wins.

With three different players recording averages above 107, this was certainly one of Friday's strongest individual scoring displays.

Callum Page takes the Clacton title

At Clacton Sports Bar, Callum Page defeated Kevin Edwards 3–1 in the final.

Page won seven matches and produced an excellent 100.20 average against Keith Farthing, alongside 90.55 in the final.

Edwards actually recorded the highest average of the competition, 107.36 against Aaron Reilly.

Simon Cuthbert also contributed a 91.09.

Again, we had a tournament where the highest individual average belonged to someone other than the eventual winner.

Page's seven victories were enough to secure the title.

Mark Lynn wins in Peterborough

At the Boulevard Club in Peterborough, Mark Lynn defeated Aaron Reed 3–1 in the final.

Lynn produced the highest average of the competition, 103.66 against Charles Crowson, and finished with seven victories.

Reed also won seven matches, while Colin Hopkins, Brett Claydon and Sid Stovold each collected five.

Claydon recorded 96.97 and 88.41 during the competition.

It was a strong evening for Lynn, combining the highest recorded average with the tournament victory.

CJ Ayres wins again at Street Darts Organisation

The SDO Open Series reached Week 6 on Friday, with CJ Ayres defeating Jack Western 3–1 in the final.

Ayres finished with eight victories and recorded averages of 93.94 and 91.09.

Western also produced 93.94 during the competition, while Warren Ryan recorded 91.09.

Ben Collins and Wayne Bradshaw each collected six victories.

There was also an SDO Under-50 round-robin event, where Tommy Chinnock defeated David Mitchell 3–0 in the final.

Chinnock finished with eight victories, while Theo Weston produced the event's highest average of 65.35.

It's good to see these different competition formats continuing to provide regular opportunities for players.

WADC: Sandra Page wins at Bradmoor Farm

There was one WADC Vault 3.0 competition recorded in Friday's results, at Bradmoor Farm in Haddenham.

Sandra Page defeated Cerys Skyrme-Davies 3–2 in the final, completing an impressive seven-win evening.

Page's leading averages included 61.77 and 60.12.

Skyrme-Davies produced the highest average of the competition, 62.63 against Tracey Reeve, and finished with four victories.

Reeve collected three victories.

It's important to keep recognising these competitions alongside the open events. Regular tournament opportunities are a significant part of developing the women's grassroots game, and Page's seven victories deserve recognition.

Junior darts: Freddy Turner, Reggie Woodmore and Ben Pilgrim win

There were three Junior Volts competitions in Friday's results, alongside other junior and academy events.

At Aylesford Village Club, Freddy Turner defeated Layton Hooper 3–1 in the final.

Both players collected six victories, while Jack Ingram produced the highest average of the competition at 93.94.

Harry Legg also recorded 81.50, and Drake Porter produced 81.24 and 79.11.

At Simeon Arms in Ryde, Reggie Woodmore defeated Quinn Adams 3–0 in the final.

Woodmore finished with five victories and recorded averages of 77.74, 71.57 and 69.91.

At Woodhouse Cricket Club in Leeds, Ben Pilgrim defeated Noah Mackie 3–2 in the final.

Pilgrim won eight matches and recorded the event's highest average of 91.09. Stanley Murray also impressed with two separate averages of 81.24.

Elsewhere, Jack Williams won the Champions of Champions Season 4 event at Cogan Coronation JDC Academy, while Charlie Greenslade took the Rising Stars Season 4 title.

Charlie Lowin also won the Soccer Zone Under-16 Junior League competition.

There were some very respectable performances among Friday's younger players, particularly from Jack Ingram and Ben Pilgrim.

Other Friday night winners worth mentioning

There was plenty more happening across the country.

Kaya Baysal won at Flight Night in Burnley, defeating Eric Bromley 3–1 in the final. Baysal recorded 100.20 and 96.97 during the evening.

Timothy Jones produced an excellent performance at Briton Ferry Workingmen's Club, defeating Bobby Short 3–0 in the final. Jones won eight matches and recorded averages of 100.20 and 90.18.

Jack Beasley won at the Brookside in Syston, recording 100.20 in the final against Mark Hurst and 96.97 earlier in the competition.

George Cressey won at Walderslade Club in Chatham, defeating Arron Brigden 3–2. His leading averages included 96.97, 93.94, 93.94 and 92.02.

Sean Holley won at Bradmoor Farm in Aylesbury, defeating Allan Way 3–2 and finishing with eight victories.

At the Worthies Sports and Social Club in Winchester, Barry Woodman defeated Charlie Jack 3–0 in the final.

And in Southampton, Jarred Cole defeated Keegan Brown 3–1 at Sarisbury Green Social Club. Both players finished with seven victories, while Cole produced the event's highest average of 98.02.

Across Wales, Cody Hughes won at Bigyn Darts Masters, Bryan Bennis took the Newport Darts Community title, Craig Whittaker won in Aberystwyth, and Dan Baker was successful in Carmarthen.

It's another reminder of just how much competitive darts is taking place on an ordinary Friday evening.

Friday's highest recorded averages

Player	Average	Tournament / venue
Joshua Russell	115.62	Splott Albion Pavilion, Cardiff
Kurt Parry	111.33	Splott Albion Pavilion, Cardiff
Steve Haggerty	109.98	The Iron Ram, Derby
Kelson Hughes	107.36	Royal Oak, Rhyl
Steven Morris	107.36	Royal Oak, Rhyl
Luke Newport	107.36	Royal Oak, Rhyl
Kevin Edwards	107.36	Clacton Sports Bar
Liam Kelly	103.66	Bostin Darts 180 Bar
Mark Lynn	103.66	The Boulevard, Peterborough
Aaron Stevens	103.66	The New Club, Wheatley

These are individual match averages rather than tournament-wide averages. Players may appear more than once among the highest individual performances.

My five standout performances

1. Joshua Russell – A remarkable 115.62 average in Cardiff and seven victories on his way to the final.
2. Steve Haggerty – A 109.98 average in the Derby final, backed up by 104.86 earlier in the evening.
3. Henry Cooper – Seven victories in Taunton, with four leading averages between 88.41 and 93.94.
4. Kurt Parry – Three averages above 105 in Cardiff, including 111.33 and 107.36.
5. Luke Newport – Eight victories and a 107.36 average at the Royal Oak in Rhyl.

Special mentions go to Pete Hughes, Callum Page, Mark Lynn, Timothy Jones and WADC winner Sandra Page.

Another 68 tournaments added to Q4QS

Friday's results offered another excellent snapshot of grassroots darts.

We had high-quality performances in Cardiff, Derby and Rhyl, strong tournament victories across the South and South West, and plenty of encouraging performances in the junior game.

What particularly interested me was the contrast between the players producing the biggest averages and those actually winning tournaments.

Joshua Russell recorded 115.62 but finished runner-up. Kurt Parry produced three averages above 105 without winning the event. Meanwhile, Henry Cooper put together a series of consistent performances and came away with the Taunton title.

That's exactly why I think it's worth looking beyond one headline average when assessing a player's form.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Connor Hopkins Hits 125.25, Ash McKeever Records 120.24 and Pete Hughes Wins in Evesham – 20 October 2026

Tuesday was a particularly busy day for grassroots darts, with another 96 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database.

And there were some exceptional averages.

Connor Hopkins recorded a remarkable 125.25 in South Wales, Ash McKeever produced 120.24 in Faringdon, and Liam Parish matched that figure in South Wigston. Meanwhile, Scott Mc registered 115.62 in Swindon.

Closer to home, Pete Hughes won at Bretforton Sports Club in Evesham, Steve Boundy took the title in Portishead, Ryan Palmer won in Gloucester and Brooklyn Anthony came through a close final in Taunton.

There were also eight WADC Vault competitions and a substantial programme of junior darts.

For me, the most interesting aspect of Tuesday wasn't simply the number of tournaments. It was the number of players producing three-figure averages, often backed up by several other strong performances.

Connor Hopkins produces the highest average of the day

At Lindsay Constitutional Club in Cefn Hengoed, Connor Hopkins produced the standout individual average of Tuesday's results.

Hopkins recorded an extraordinary 125.25 against Ryan Davies, who himself averaged 113.14 in that match.

Davies also recorded 115.62 against Lyn Jones, giving the competition three of the highest averages of the entire day.

Hopkins went on to defeat Harry Morris 3–0 in the final, completing seven victories. Morris also won seven matches, while Dewi Beynon collected six.

Hopkins added a 96.97 against Lyn Jones to his performances.

It's worth remembering that these are individual match averages rather than averages across an entire tournament. Even so, 125.25 is an exceptional figure, and the quality of darts in Cefn Hengoed deserves particular recognition.

Ash McKeever hits 120.24 in Faringdon

Another outstanding performance came at Faringdon Town Football Club.

Ash McKeever produced a 120.24 average against Luke Cox, followed by 93.94 against Michael Temple and two separate averages of 91.09.

Interestingly, it was Cox who ultimately took the title, defeating McKeever 3–1 in the final.

Both finalists finished with seven victories, while Dillon Moran collected six.

That's one of the things I find interesting about these results. McKeever produced the highest individual average at the venue, but Cox was the player who came through when the title was decided.

Liam Parish matches 120.24 in South Wigston

At the Cue Club in South Wigston, Liam Parish also recorded 120.24, against Chris Wilson.

It meant that Tuesday produced two separate averages above 120, alongside Hopkins' 125.25.

The tournament itself was won by Steve Haggerty, who defeated Ben Flanagan-McClelland 3–2 in the final.

It's another reminder that the best individual average and the eventual tournament winner aren't necessarily the same player.

Pete Hughes wins at Bretforton Sports Club

There was an excellent evening of darts at Bretforton Sports Club in Evesham.

Pete Hughes defeated Vince Tipple 3–1 in the final, finishing with eight victories.

Both finalists produced 100.20 averages during the competition.

Hughes recorded his against Paul Jones, while Tipple achieved his against Kyle Jones.

Hughes also produced 98.02 against Shaun Vernall and 93.94 against Matt Metrovich.

Tipple finished with seven victories, Dave Honey collected six and Colin Day won five matches.

After Tipple's victory at Bengeworth Club on Monday, it was interesting to see him reach another final the following evening.

This time Hughes came out on top, and with eight victories and several strong averages, he was a deserving winner.

Steve Boundy takes the Portishead title

At Portishead Workmen's Darts, Steve Boundy defeated Logun Godbeer 3–1 in the Tuesday Open final.

Boundy completed eight victories, while Godbeer finished with seven.

The highest average of the evening came from Godbeer, who recorded 96.97 against Max Maggs, followed by 91.09 against Josh Rose.

Boundy wasn't far behind, producing 93.94 against Chris Parry and 88.41 against Maggs.

Josh Rose finished with five victories, while Anthony Chadwick and Maggs collected four apiece.

This was a particularly competitive evening, with both finalists producing good darts throughout the tournament.

Ryan Palmer wins in Gloucester

At Widden Rugby Club in Gloucester, Ryan Palmer defeated Alfie Palmer 3–2 in the final.

The competition's highest recorded average came from Joe Bagguley, who produced 93.94 against Josh Taylor.

The final was a close one, but Ryan Palmer did enough to take the title.

It's good to see another regular Gloucester venue contributing to the daily results.

Jack Walker wins at Bessellscotts in Bristol

Jack Walker took the Vault title at Bessellscotts in Bristol, defeating Tim Thorne 3–0 in the final.

Both players finished with six victories.

Walker produced the highest average of the competition, 81.98 in the final, while Thorne recorded 79.53 in defeat.

Walker also produced averages of 79.11, 78.26 and 77.08.

It was a particularly consistent evening from Walker, and another Bristol result worth highlighting.

Brooklyn Anthony wins a close Taunton final

At Darts @ The Lawns in Taunton, the Under-70 Round Robin Super Series produced a very close final.

Brooklyn Anthony defeated Ryan Greenslade 7–6 in the Top 12 competition.

Anthony recorded the highest average of the event, 80.43 against Scott Smith, along with 72.21 against Robin Stutt-Hannaford.

Greenslade produced 76.15 against Mike James and 72.23 against James Wellbelove.

The Bottom 12 competition was won by Tim Milton, who defeated Alan Forrest 5–4 in another close final.

Two competitive finals, and another successful evening for the Taunton series.

WADC: Leanne Topper hits 88.41 as eight women's competitions take place

There were eight WADC Vault 3.0 competitions in Tuesday's results, with events taking place across Wales, England and the South West.

The highest recorded WADC average came from Leanne Topper at Cross Foxes in Prestatyn.

Topper produced 88.41 against Wendy McCaffrey and went on to defeat Sharon Jones 3–1 in the final.

That was an excellent performance and one of the strongest averages across Tuesday's women's competitions.

At Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, Dani Kearns defeated Chris Savvery 3–1, recording an impressive 81.24 against Cat Mackie.

Lynsey Childs also performed well at Trebles Darts in North Walsham, defeating Gemma Reynolds 3–0 in the final with a 75.15 average.

Closer to the South West, Louise Davies won at Shooters Bar in Leominster, defeating Shelly Mulliner 3–1.

Tuesday's WADC winners were:

Winner	Venue	Final
Sue Davies	Castle Arms, Denbigh	Beat Emily Mitchell 3–0
Leanne Topper	Cross Foxes, Prestatyn	Beat Sharon Jones 3–1
Lisa Brosnan	London GAA, Ruislip	Beat Maggie Sutton 3–1
Louise Davies	Shooters Bar, Leominster	Beat Shelly Mulliner 3–1
Alyssya Petty	Church Wicketts, Telford	Beat Shaz Shepherd 3–1
Keisha Collins	Empire Club, Lancing	Beat Jenny Levett 3–1
Lynsey Childs	Trebles Darts, North Walsham	Beat Gemma Reynolds 3–0
Dani Kearns	Wiltshire Darts House, Swindon	Beat Chris Savvery 3–1

Jenny Levett also recorded 62.63 in Lancing, despite finishing as runner-up.

I think these competitions deserve their place in the daily roundup. Eight events in one evening is encouraging, and performances such as Topper's 88.41 and Kearns' 81.24 show that there's plenty of quality within the WADC programme.

Junior darts: 14 Junior Volts competitions

Tuesday was also a busy evening for the Junior Darts Corporation, with 14 Junior Volts competitions in the report.

Max Wright records 96.97 in Sheffield

The highest recorded Junior Volts average came from Max Wright at Sheffield Junior Darts Academy.

Wright produced 96.97 against Rwais Barwais, while Barwais himself recorded 85.89 against Hayden Bacon.

The tournament was won by Alfie Revill, who defeated Bailey the Blade 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Rhys Evans impresses in Resolven

At Arrows in Resolven, Rhys Evans defeated Logan Ford 3–1 in the final.

Evans finished with six victories and produced an excellent 93.94 average against Will Murphy.

Jack Powell recorded 81.24, while Kenzie Watkins produced 78.06.

Jenson Macey wins in Gosport

At DiceHeads in Gosport, Jenson Macey defeated Freddie Rowlands 3–0 in the final.

Both players finished with eight victories.

Rowlands recorded the competition's highest average of 85.89, while Macey produced 83.50, 80.52 and 77.74 among his leading performances.

That's a particularly good sequence of averages from the eventual winner.

Other Junior Volts winners

Winner	Venue	Final
Noah Daly	Bar 1895, Oldham	Beat Harrison Doherty 3–1
Leo McCormack	Chaukees, Ellesmere Port	Beat Charlie Thomason 3–2
Seth White	Flight Night, Burnley	Beat Elijah Bale 3–0
Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris	Heath Hayes, Cannock	Beat Jake Whitehead 3–2
Zak Read	Maxi Lounge, Yate	Beat Louis Panetta 3–2
Gabriel Harrop	Red Rose Bowl, Preston	Beat Dillon Gardiner-Reid 3–1
Tyler Shuck	Soccer Zone, Halesowen	Beat Alfie Pritchard 3–0
Finley Holmes-Harker	Dart Den, Skegness	Beat Austin Carter 3–0
Drake Porter	Rock Avenue Club, Gillingham	Beat Charlie Smith 3–1
Charlie Wills	Vectis Sports & Social Club, Isle of Wight	Beat Jenson Hunt 3–0
Jenson Swift	Wyndham Arms, Ogmore Vale	Beat Jack Hill 3–1

There were also good performances from Joel Walton, who recorded 83.50 in Cannock, Noah Daly with 81.46 in Oldham and Tyler Shuck with 80.52 in Halesowen.

With so many junior competitions now appearing in the daily results, we're beginning to get a much clearer picture of the youngsters producing consistently strong darts.

Other Tuesday night performances worth mentioning

Away from the featured events, several players deserve recognition.

Johnny Haines won at Locomotive Engineers Social Club in Eastleigh, defeating Mark Barnard in the final. Haines recorded 111.33, 103.66 and 93.94 during his seven-win evening.

Charlie Miller won at Hethersett Social Club, recording 104.86 and completing eight victories before defeating Spencer Fage in the final.

Scott Hill won at Indian Queens Working Men's Club in Cornwall, defeating Jamie Kay 3–1. Hill produced 103.66 and 96.97, while Kay recorded 100.21.

Henry Cooper won at Portland Social Club, recording 100.20, 98.02, 96.97 and 90.18. That's a particularly impressive sequence of averages.

Keegan Brown won at Ambassador Freehouse on the Isle of Wight, producing 103.66 and 93.94.

Andrew Hibbert took the title at Brookside in Syston, recording 103.66 and 93.94 during his seven victories.

Robbie Martin won at the Newtown in Poole, producing a 103.66 average.

And at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, Rich Griffee defeated Scott Mc 3–1, although Mc produced an exceptional 115.62 during the competition.

There was certainly no shortage of quality around the country.

Tuesday's highest recorded averages

These are the leading individual match averages identified in Tuesday's results.

Player	Average	Venue
Connor Hopkins	125.25	Lindsay Constitutional Club, Cefn Hengoed
Ash McKeever	120.24	Faringdon Town Football Club
Liam Parish	120.24	Cue Club, South Wigston
Ryan Davies	115.62	Lindsay Constitutional Club
Scott Mc	115.62	Wiltshire Darts House, Swindon
Ryan Davies	113.14	Lindsay Constitutional Club
Johnny Haines	111.33	Locomotive Engineers, Eastleigh
Daniel Terry	111.33	Phoenix Railway Social Club, Dover
Phil Johnson-Hale	107.36	Moreton Hall, Bury St Edmunds
Lee Evans	106.44	Wolversdene Club, Andover

These are individual match averages, not tournament-wide averages. Some players appear more than once because they produced more than one outstanding performance.

My five standout performances

1. Connor Hopkins – A remarkable 125.25 average, seven victories and the title in Cefn Hengoed.
2. Ash McKeever – A 120.24 average in Faringdon, backed up by several performances above 90.
3. Pete Hughes – Eight victories and the Bretforton title, including averages of 100.20 and 98.02.
4. Johnny Haines – The Eastleigh title, with averages of 111.33, 103.66 and 93.94.
5. Henry Cooper – Four leading averages above 90 and the Portland title.

Special mentions go to Liam Parish, Steve Boundy, Brooklyn Anthony, Scott Hill, Leanne Topper and Rhys Evans.

Another 96 tournaments added to Q4QS

Tuesday was one of those days when it was difficult to decide which performances to highlight.

Three individual averages reached or exceeded 120, several more players broke the 110 barrier, and there were plenty of tournament winners who produced strong darts throughout their evenings.

It was particularly good to see the variety of competitions involved, from ADC Vault events to junior academies, WADC tournaments and local round-robin competitions.

And that's really what I want these daily reports to show.

The occasional exceptional average will always attract attention, but it's the performances over several matches, several tournaments and eventually several months that tell us the most about a player.

With another 96 tournaments added to the Q4QS Database, we're continuing to build that bigger picture.

Full results, rankings and player statistics are available at Quest For Q School.

Yesterday's Darts Results: Beau Greaves Wins Twice, Daniel Astbury Hits 111.33 and Carl Batchelor Takes Memorial Open – 10 October 2026

Saturday produced another fascinating day of competitive darts, with 26 tournaments added to the Q4QS database.

The headline individual performance came from Daniel Astbury, who recorded a superb 111.33 average at The Church Wicketts in Dawley. But there were plenty of other stories, including a double triumph for Beau Greaves on the PDC Women's Series, a dominant display from Carl Batchelor at the Nigel Birch Memorial Open and another impressive title for Pete Hughes.

There was also a WADC tournament in Wallasey, three Junior Volts events and a busy Portsmouth Saturday Series.

One of the things I enjoy about these daily roundups is the variety. On the same day, we're looking at international-standard women's darts, highly competitive open tournaments, regular Vault events and youngsters taking their first steps in competitive darts.

Astbury hits 111.33 and takes Dawley title

The highest average in Saturday's results belonged to Daniel Astbury at The Church Wicketts in Dawley.

Astbury recorded 111.33 against Brandon Jones, adding averages of 93.94 against Steve Jones Wasp and 91.09 against Ace Lumantas.

Those are three excellent performances in the same competition.

He eventually defeated Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final, finishing with eight victories.

B-Smith collected seven wins, while Nathan Grice finished with six.

Paul Rowley also impressed at Dawley, recording averages of 100.20 and 93.94.

Interestingly, Astbury's final opponent had also enjoyed a successful evening elsewhere.

Jake B-Smith wins at Shrewsbury and reaches another final

At the Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury, Jake B-Smith collected eight victories and defeated Paul Rowley 3–0 in the final.

B-Smith recorded a 96.97 average against Rowley, while Rowley himself produced a superb 102.48 against Soxy O Callaghan.

Rowley also hit 91.80 and twice recorded 88.41.

B-Smith therefore appears in Saturday's results as both a tournament winner and a runner-up at two separate Vault events.

That's a particularly noteworthy day's work, although the data doesn't establish the precise running order of the two competitions.

Beau Greaves completes PDC Women's Series double

The biggest story away from the grassroots Vault circuit was another remarkable day for Beau Greaves.

At the PDC Women's Series, Greaves won both Event 21 and Event 22.

In Event 21, she defeated Vicky Pruim 5–3 in the final after producing a brilliant 101.55 average in her 5–0 victory over Rhian O'Sullivan.

She also recorded 93.94 against Ruby Grey and 93.50 against Aileen de Graaf.

Gemma Hayter produced 91.69 against Lindsey Ashton, while O'Sullivan recorded 91.59 against Natalie Gilbert.

Greaves then returned for Event 22 and defeated Gemma Hayter 5–3 in the final, averaging 92.44, with Hayter responding with an excellent 90.51.

That made it two tournament titles in a single day.

The wider significance was considerable too. Saturday's results came during the final Women's Series weekend, with World Championship qualification places still a major talking point.

It's another example of the extraordinary standard at the top of the women's game. Greaves continues to set the benchmark, but there is considerable quality throughout these fields.

Carl Batchelor dominates Nigel Birch Memorial Open

One of the performances that really stood out to me came at the 3rd Nigel Birch Memorial Open.

Carl Batchelor recorded two separate 100.20 averages, against Jake Jones and Tim Ely.

He then produced 94.98 in the final against James Richardson, winning the match 6–1.

Batchelor also recorded 86.21 against Michael Cooper and finished with six victories.

Richardson collected four wins on his way to the final, while Jon Platt reached 91.25 during the tournament.

Batchelor's figures are particularly impressive because he didn't just produce one outstanding match. He delivered quality throughout his run and finished it with a convincing final victory.

For me, that's one of Saturday's strongest overall tournament performances.

Pete Hughes wins at Wych Elm as Craddock hits 107.36

The Wych Elm event in Burntwood produced another excellent collection of averages.

Mark Craddock recorded 107.36 against Lisa Morley and followed it with 100.20 against David Barnett (Willett).

Despite those impressive figures, Craddock didn't take the title.

That went to Pete Hughes, who recorded 103.66 against Charlie Gibson and added 88.41 and 85.89 in other matches.

Hughes finished with eight victories and defeated Ryan Herrington 3–1 in the final.

Herrington recorded seven wins, while Nath Coley collected six.

Another event showing why the biggest individual average and the tournament winner aren't always the same player.

Lleyton Molyneux leads the way in Wallasey

At Great Float Social Club in Wallasey, Lleyton Molyneux produced one of the most impressive Vault-winning performances of the day.

Molyneux averaged 98.02 against Dylan Blackwell and added 83.50, 81.33 and 81.24.

He eventually defeated Ellis Hancock 3–2 in the final, finishing with eight victories.

Hancock collected seven wins, while Luke Humphreys recorded six.

It was a strong event, and Molyneux's combination of high scoring and consistency deservedly puts him among Saturday's leading performers.

WADC: Jennifer Taylor wins at Great Float

There was also a women's Vault event at the same Wallasey venue.

The WADC Vault 3.0 at Great Float Social Club recorded 15 matches, with Jennifer Taylor defeating Pam Courts 3–2 in the final.

Both players finished with four victories.

Courts produced the highest recorded average of the competition at 48.48, while Taylor recorded 48.38, 46.25 and 45.81.

Lizzie Hackett and Victoria Simmonds each collected two victories.

I've said before that I think it's important to give these competitions proper coverage, regardless of field size or the averages involved.

The WADC doesn't need every tournament to feature 80 or 90 averages to justify its place in competitive darts.

The important thing is that there is an organised competition, players are getting meaningful match experience, and another venue is providing an opportunity for women to compete.

And with the regular Vault also taking place at Great Float, this is exactly the sort of setup I'd like to see more venues consider.

Welsh Vault results: Bargoed and Neath

There were two further Vault winners in Wales worth highlighting.

At Butters Bar in Bargoed, Edward Manley defeated Gareth Hughes 3–1 in the final, finishing with eight victories.

Manley recorded 85.89 and 81.24, while Martin Lynch reached 85.08 and Liam Cook hit 83.50.

At Shooter's SportsBar in Neath, Les Morgan won the tournament against Lee Oneill, taking the final 3–1 and finishing with seven victories.

The biggest average in Neath came from Stephen Cake, who hit 96.97 against Ashley Lewis, followed by 90.19 and 88.41.

Timothy Jones also impressed, recording 90.18 against Cake and collecting six wins.

Two different tournaments, with strong scoring and plenty of competitive matches.

Portsmouth Phoenix Saturday Series attracts a big field

The Portsmouth Phoenix Saturday Series Event 2 was one of the busiest competitions in Saturday's export, with 155 matches recorded.

Samuel Palmer won the tournament, defeating Shane Williams 5–4 in the final.

Palmer finished with ten victories, while Williams collected eight.

Daniel Eade, Adam Lipscombe and Danny Smith each recorded seven wins.

The highest individual average belonged to Marvin Meal, who hit 96.97 against Frank Wilson.

Lipscombe also produced 91.09 and 85.89 during his run.

A ten-win tournament victory deserves recognition, particularly in an event with that many recorded matches.

More Saturday tournament winners

There were several other performances worth picking out.

At Nambucca in London, Aaron Beeney won eight matches and defeated Adam Finch 3–2 in the final. Beeney recorded 90.18, 85.56 and 83.50.

At the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington, Jordan Howarth won seven matches and defeated Charlie Cooper 3–2. James Welding recorded two separate 93.94 averages.

At John Selden in Worthing, Ethan Yates collected six wins and defeated Adam Griffiths 3–2 in the final.

At Pot Black in Shanklin, Jay Moore won six matches and beat Connor Mitchell 3–2.

At The Millrace in Milton, Martin Williams defeated Jamie Mountford 3–2 to take the title.

Away from the Vault circuit, Adam Warner won the Kenny Greenall Memorial GSOD against PJ Lynskey, while Keith Croxford produced the competition's highest average of 95.94.

At the Darts for Hearts charity event, Joseph Gargaro defeated James McCann 4–2 in the final, with both players recording six victories.

And in the Money In Money Out KO, Dan Broad defeated Bailey Ward 3–2, while Rhys Wareham produced averages of 93.94 and 91.09.

Junior darts: Freddie Argyle and three Junior Volts winners

Saturday also produced an encouraging set of junior results.

At Alford Sports & Social Club in Warrington, Freddie Argyle won the Under-16 round robin, defeating Rhys Brown 3–0 in the final.

Argyle produced an excellent 85.08 average in the final, as well as 76.42, 75.15 and 72.73 during the event.

Both Argyle and Brown finished with seven victories.

There were also three Junior Volts events.

At Bostin Darts 180 Bar in Blackheath, Charlie Lowin defeated Jack Turner 3–1 in the final, with both players recording five victories.

Tyler Shuck produced the highest average at 77.08, while Theo Machin recorded two separate 75.15 averages.

At Glanyrafon Arms in Llandysul, Rowan Fielding defeated Steffan Thomas 3–2 in the final.

Thomas recorded the highest average of 73.92 and collected five wins, while Fielding and Callum Williams each finished with four.

At the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield, Sam Jones defeated Michael Solloway 3–0 in the final.

Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris produced the competition's highest average of 85.89, while Noah Howe recorded 79.11.

Jones and Solloway both finished with six victories.

There is plenty of emerging talent appearing in these junior events, and the Q4QS database is gradually building a useful picture of their development.

Saturday's standout performances

Five players particularly caught my eye:

1. Daniel Astbury – 111.33 and the Dawley title. The highest average of the day, backed up by eight victories.
2. Beau Greaves – two Women's Series titles. A 101.55 average and victories in both Events 21 and 22.
3. Carl Batchelor – two 100.20 averages and the Nigel Birch Memorial title. An excellent sequence of performances.
4. Pete Hughes – 103.66 and the Wych Elm title. Eight victories in a strong field.
5. Lleyton Molyneux – 98.02 and the Wallasey title. Consistent scoring and eight wins.

Mark Craddock's 107.36 and Paul Rowley's 102.48 also deserve a mention, even though neither topped the final results at those venues.

Another 26 tournaments added to Q4QS

Saturday was a good example of the variety of darts being played across the country.

At one end, Beau Greaves was winning back-to-back professional Women's Series events. Elsewhere, Daniel Astbury, Pete Hughes and Carl Batchelor were putting together exceptional performances in competitive open and Vault tournaments.

At Great Float, the WADC was providing another opportunity for women to compete. And across the Junior Volts events, the next generation was gaining valuable tournament experience.

That's exactly the breadth of competitive darts I want Q4QS to capture.

Twenty-six more tournaments, hundreds of matches and plenty more information for the Q4QS rankings, player histories and venue records.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Ciaran Forde Hits 118.66, Pete Hughes 111.33 & Ryan Palmer Wins – 7 October 2026

Wednesday was another enormous night for grassroots darts, with 106 tournaments added to Q4QS.

The highest credible average in the export came from Ciaran Forde, who produced a remarkable 118.66 at Staincross Club in Barnsley. Jake B-Smith reached 115.62 in Shrewsbury, while Pete Hughes hit 111.33 at Bengeworth in Evesham.

Closer to home, Ryan Palmer combined a 100.20 with the Sartan Club title, Kieran Smith beat Hughes in the Bengeworth final, Logan Symons Jnr won in Bodmin and Joe Bagguley took the Stonehouse event.

There were also 13 WADC Vault events, including an outstanding display from Rhian O'Sullivan in Resolven.

Forde hits 118.66 – but Jacques takes the title

The biggest believable average of the day belonged to Ciaran Forde at Staincross Club, Barnsley.

Forde produced a superb 118.66 in a 3–0 victory over Richard Dennis. He also recorded 93.94 during the tournament and finished with six wins.

But it was Al Jacques who took the title.

Jacques recorded 103.66, 96.97 and 95.94 among his leading averages, won eight matches and defeated Forde 3–1 in the final.

It's a good example of the difference between producing the single biggest average and putting together the strongest tournament-winning run.

A note on the figures: a small number of implausible averages in the export, including 174.43 and 1503.00, have been excluded from the performance rankings pending verification.

Hughes hits 111.33 – Smith wins Bengeworth

There was another fascinating evening at Bengeworth Club in Evesham.

Pete Hughes produced the biggest average of the tournament with 111.33, while Jason Reeve reached 96.97, Mitchell Leeming 93.94 and Andy Hammond 91.09.

However, Kieran Smith was the player who emerged with the trophy.

Smith beat Hughes 3–0 in the final, averaging 92.02, and finished the night with eight wins. Hughes collected seven, while Dave Honey had six.

For me, this is one of the best examples of why the daily results need a little more digging than simply picking out the biggest averages.

Hughes produced the standout number, but Smith delivered when it mattered most.

Palmer hits 100.20 and wins at Sartan

The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth produced another competitive Wednesday evening.

Ryan Palmer averaged 100.20 in a victory over Kai Carter and followed it with 96.98 elsewhere in the tournament.

Ashton Brown recorded 92.44, while Zach Quinn hit 88.41 and 86.71.

The final brought Palmer and Quinn together, with Palmer winning 3–1.

Both players collected seven victories, while Carter and Brown won six each and Steve Boundy five.

It was a strong night for Palmer, combining the tournament's highest average with the title.

Symons Jnr delivers again in Bodmin

At Bodmin Band & Social Club, Logan Symons Jnr put together one of the most consistent winning performances of the evening.

He recorded 91.09, 85.99 and 85.89, eventually beating Mason Dower 3–2 in the final.

Symons finished with eight wins, Dower seven, and both Martin Smith and William Chaffe collected six.

There may have been bigger averages elsewhere, but this was a particularly solid performance across an entire tournament.

McCready's eight-win night in Leominster

Alec McCready won at Shooters Bar in Leominster after another strong scoring display.

He averaged 90.97 in the final against Chris Hurds, winning 3–2, and had earlier recorded 88.98 and 86.65.

McCready finished with eight victories, while Hurds collected six.

With several strong averages and the title to show for it, McCready deserves a place among Wednesday's most impressive tournament performers.

Ayres wins in Salisbury, Bagguley takes Stonehouse

Two more regular Q4QS venues produced interesting results.

At Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Shoey Ayres defeated Liam Glister 3–1 in the final.

Glister produced the tournament's highest average of 91.09, while Ayres reached 88.41. Both finished with six wins, with Ben Small also recording 85.08.

At Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse, Joe Bagguley won the title with a 3–0 victory over Alex Cantillion.

Bagguley averaged 86.71 in the final and added an 81.24 earlier in the competition. He finished with seven wins, while Paul Meyer collected six.

Another pair of local tournaments with plenty more going on than the final scores alone suggest.

More outstanding performances across the country

A few more performances deserve recognition.

At the Bagley Sports & Social Club in Shrewsbury, Jake B-Smith hit 115.62, although Oscar Saxton eventually took the title against Archie Wright.

At Sadies in Whittlesea, Phil Johnson-Hale averaged 107.36, added 92.12 and 91.09, and won the tournament with eight victories.

At Royal Sports Lounge in Farnworth, Kirk Shepherd hit 103.66 and went on to win the event, beating Steve Coote 3–2. Andy Turner also reached 103.66, while Coote produced two separate 100.20 averages.

At Rocket Ronnies in Southampton, Joey Cole combined a 103.66 with the title, defeating Jarred Cole 3–2 and collecting eight wins.

At GWRSA Club in Didcot, Johnny Haines recorded 95.94 and 93.94 before defeating Jack Marshall 3–1 in the final. Haines finished with eight victories.

And in Swansea, Louis Melville reached 99.53 on the way to winning at Oliver's Sports Bar, defeating Chris James in the final.

WADC: 13 events and O'Sullivan hits 96.97

Wednesday was a particularly busy day for women's darts, with 13 WADC Vault 3.0 competitions included in the export. Two were labelled as Tuesday events, but all were included in this reporting batch.

The outstanding performance came from Rhian O'Sullivan at Arrows Darts Venue in Resolven.

O'Sullivan hit 96.97, 88.41 and 81.24, then averaged 70.45 in a 3–0 final victory over Kayliegh Webster.

That is a particularly impressive collection of numbers, with Donna Buckley also reaching 81.50 in the same tournament.

At Walton WMC, Laura Turner was another standout. She recorded 81.24, 79.11 and 75.15 before beating Wendy Parish 3–0 in the final.

The other recorded winners were:

• Gracie Willmitt – Alford Sports & Social Club, Warrington
• Coby Voorhees – Beechwood Club, Blackburn
• Karen Williams – Bradmoor Farm, Aylesbury
• Lisa Brosnan – Castle Arms, Denbigh
• Michelle Ewins-Pointin – Challow British Legion, East Challow
• Courtney Hancock – MK Cocktail Lounge, Bodmin
• Elsie-Mai Tarrant – Stratford Social Club, Salisbury
• Alyssya Petty – The 9 Darter, Port Talbot
• Jane Price – Bengeworth Club, Evesham
• Suzanne Price – Monty Club, Newtown

The BRWCA event in Hampshire also appeared in the export, although a winner could not reliably be established from the available match rows.

There were good individual performances beyond the headline names too. Tracey Hancock hit 73.32 in Bodmin, Lisa Brosnan reached 65.35 and 62.63 in Denbigh, and Gracie Willmitt produced 65.35 and 61.35 on her way to winning in Warrington.

It's encouraging to see this many women's competitions appearing in a single reporting batch, with players at very different levels all getting competitive opportunities.

Junior Volts and youth darts

The junior programme provided another substantial set of results.

At the David Street Club in Nelson, Alfie Bracey beat Leo Posteraro 3–2 in the Junior Volts final. Posteraro recorded an excellent 90.18 during his run.

At the Kings Pub in Exeter, Joseph Lauridsen beat Aaron Rea 3–2 in the final, averaging 83.62 and finishing with eight wins.

Other Junior Volts winners included Logan Winyard at Lowestoft, Llewelyn Summerhayes at Llantwit Major, Evan Haines at Pontypool, Max Adderson at Norwich, Will Tomkinson at Crewe and Ethan Goudy at Stowmarket.

The NJDA Elite Series also produced an excellent 98.02 from Harry Childs, although Ethan Beardsley eventually won the tournament, defeating Jude Clarke 4–2 in the final.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Ciaran Forde – 118.66, Barnsley.
The highest credible average of the day, although Al Jacques took the title.

2. Jake B-Smith – 115.62, Shrewsbury.
Another enormous individual average.

3. Pete Hughes – 111.33, Evesham.
The biggest number at Bengeworth, with Kieran Smith winning the tournament.

4. Phil Johnson-Hale – 107.36 and tournament victory, Whittlesea.
An excellent eight-win performance.

5. Rhian O'Sullivan – 96.97, 88.41, 81.24 and WADC title, Resolven.
One of the most impressive sequences of averages anywhere in the results.

Another 106 tournaments added to Q4QS

Wednesday's results offered a little bit of everything.

There were huge individual averages, strong tournament-winning performances, familiar local venues, a substantial programme of junior darts and 13 WADC events.

And once again, some of the best stories were found by looking beyond the five biggest averages.

Every one of these tournaments adds more information to the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records and form data.

With another 106 competitions included, there's plenty more to explore.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Perry Davenport Hits 111.33 as Hughes, Martin & Trotman Win – 2 October 2026

Friday brought another substantial batch of grassroots darts into Q4QS, with 65 tournaments added to the database.

The biggest number of the day came from Perry Davenport, who fired a superb 111.33, with Steve Willis hitting 105.75 in the same tournament.

There were plenty of other three-figure performances around the country, but closer to the regular Q4QS area there were titles for Pete Hughes at Bengeworth, Robbie Martin in Taunton, Liam Trotman at Portishead and Paul Hill in Yeovil.

Bridgwater Darts Academy also produced two winners, while another busy programme across Wales and two WADC events gave me plenty more to pick through.

Davenport fires 111.33

The biggest average anywhere in Friday's results belonged to Perry Davenport, who produced a superb 111.33 in the Chaukees Friday Grandslam.

Steve Willis averaged 105.75 in the same match, so that was comfortably one of the highest-quality encounters of the day.

Davenport also added a 93.94 during his run and finished with six victories.

The title, though, went elsewhere.

Scott Dilley eventually came through the tournament, beating Danny Halliday Jnr 4–3 in the final and finishing with seven wins.

Once again, the biggest average and the tournament winner give us two different stories from the same event.

Pete Hughes wins at Bengeworth

There were two more ton-plus performances at The Bengeworth in Evesham.

Joe Quiney and Danny Lauby both reached 100.20, while Jason Reeve produced 96.97 and 93.94.

But it was Pete Hughes who took the title.

Hughes beat Reeve 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories, matching Reeve's total for the night.

His own best average was 89.57, but this was another example of the player with the biggest number not necessarily being the one who eventually wins the tournament.

Quiney and Lauby both finished with five victories.

Robbie Martin takes Taunton title

At Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton, Robbie Martin put together an excellent tournament.

Brooklyn Anthony produced the highest average of the event at 93.94, but Martin wasn't far behind.

He hit 91.09, followed it with 90.18 and 86.71, and finished the night with seven victories.

Martin then beat Anthony 3–0 in the final to complete a strong all-round performance.

Ryan Greenslade also collected five wins, while Dave Fisher and Warren Bowditch both reached four.

Liam Trotman wins at Portishead

Another familiar Q4QS venue produced another familiar winner.

Liam Trotman took the Friday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts, beating Steve Boundy 3–0 in the final.

Trotman finished with eight wins and also produced the tournament's highest average of 85.89.

Josh Rose wasn't far behind at 85.08, while Trotman also recorded 81.76 during his run.

This was the event with a prize for the player progressing furthest while averaging under 55, adding another dimension alongside the main tournament.

Paul Hill wins in Yeovil

At Bullets Sports Bar in Yeovil, Paul Hill came through to take the Friday Vault.

Hill beat Dave Ware 3–0 in the final and produced the highest average of the tournament himself, reaching 81.24.

Andrew Purchase and Hill both finished with five wins, with Ware and Steven Tavener on four.

Not the biggest numbers of an exceptionally busy Friday, but another regular South West venue and another winner added to the Q4QS records.

Two winners at Bridgwater Darts Academy

There were two competitions at Bridgwater Darts Academy.

The DiDo Finals Night went to Warren Rixon, who beat Lucas Smith 3–1 in the final.

Rixon won all four of his recorded matches and produced the four highest listed averages of the event, headed by 61.82.

There was also a 12-player tournament, where John Hill beat Sharron Hemburrow 3–0 in the final.

Hill again finished with four wins and topped the averages at 50.54.

Plenty of 100-plus darts elsewhere

The 111.33 from Davenport led Friday's numbers, but there was plenty more three-figure scoring buried among the 65 tournaments.

James Lawson hit 103.66 at Flight Night in Burnley and also produced two separate 100.20 averages.

Kevin Leadenham reached 103.66 at Melton Mowbray and went on to win the tournament, while Steve Clews matched that 103.66 at The Pioneer Bar and also converted his scoring into a title.

Craig Vickers hit 102.21 at Clacton, while Steve Green, Tom Grooby, Adam Mould, Matt Clark, Luke Newport, Connor Levett, Craig Sayer and Phill Jones were among those reaching 100.20.

That's a lot of ton-plus darts spread across one Friday programme.

Luke Newport combines 100.20 with the title

One of the strongest Welsh performances came at the Royal Oak in Rhyl.

Luke Newport hit 100.20, added 91.57 and 91.09 and finished with eight victories.

Most importantly, he completed the job by beating Simon A-Dog 3–1 in the final.

Kelson Hughes also produced a 95.94 during a six-win night.

William Thomas dominates at Briton Ferry

There was another particularly convincing performance at Briton Ferry Workingmen's Club.

William Thomas recorded the five highest listed averages of the tournament, headed by 96.97, with further figures of 93.94 and 92.02.

He finished with eight wins and beat Timothy Jones 3–0 in the final.

That's exactly the sort of performance that can get hidden if we only look at the handful of biggest averages across the whole day.

More Welsh winners

There was plenty more happening across Wales.

Huw Rowcliffe won at Min-Y-Ddol in Aberystwyth, where Luke Colwill produced the highest average at 91.09.

Louis Melville enjoyed a particularly consistent night at Oliver's Sports Bar in Swansea. He won the tournament with seven victories and recorded 88.41, 85.89 and two 83.50 averages.

Kevin Mills won at Splott Albion Pavilion in Cardiff, beating Edward Manley in the final. Manley produced the event's highest number at 93.94.

At Towy Sports Bar in Carmarthen, Alex Luck took the title, while Jamie Lewis topped the averages with 93.53.

There were also wins for Liam Hughes at Bigyn Darts Masters and Ryan Davies at Wattsville National Club.

Junior Volts

There were Junior Volts tournaments at Aylesford Village Club and the Simeon Arms in Ryde.

Drake Porter produced an excellent 91.09 at Aylesford and went on to win the tournament, beating Dannylee McFarlane 3–0 in the final.

Porter finished with seven victories, while George Edwards and Freddy Turner both reached 83.50.

On the Isle of Wight, Charlie Wills took the Ryde title, beating Jake Griffiths 3–0 in the final and also finishing with seven wins.

Brendan O'Reilly produced the tournament's best average at 71.57.

WADC: Casley and Hughes take Friday titles

There were two WADC Vaults in Friday's results.

At Briton Ferry Workies, Kirsten Casley won a closely contested event, beating Donna Buckley 3–2 in the final.

Casley had earlier beaten Tia Sterio by the same scoreline and finished with two victories. Buckley produced the highest average of the event at 54.42.

At the United Services Club in Harwich, Shaunna Hughes took the title.

Hughes beat Lisa James 3–2 in the final, finished with five victories and also produced the highest average of the tournament at 57.81.

James had four wins and reached 53.68 during her run.

Only two WADC events this time, but both now add another set of women's results into the Q4QS database.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Perry Davenport – 111.33
The biggest average of the day, with Steve Willis averaging 105.75 against him in the same match.

2. James Lawson – 103.66
Also produced two separate 100.20 averages during an excellent night in Burnley.

3. Kevin Leadenham – 103.66
A big average and, importantly, he went on to win the Melton Mowbray tournament.

4. Steve Clews – 103.66
Another player who combined one of the day's biggest averages with a tournament victory.

5. Luke Newport – 100.20
Not the only player to hit 100.20, but he backed it up with 91.57 and 91.09 before winning in Rhyl.

Another 65 tournaments into Q4QS

Friday's 65 tournaments provided another sizeable addition to the database.

There were some huge numbers at the top, but plenty of the more interesting stories were again found a little deeper.

Pete Hughes won a strong Bengeworth event despite Quiney and Lauby both averaging 100.20. Robbie Martin put together an excellent winning run in Taunton. Liam Trotman took Portishead, Paul Hill won in Yeovil and Warren Rixon and John Hill collected the two Bridgwater titles.

Add in another busy Welsh programme, Junior Volts and two more WADC competitions and there was plenty more than the headline 111.33 to come out of Friday.

And another 65 tournaments are now feeding into the rankings, player records, venue histories, head-to-heads and form behind Q4QS.

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.
