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.

What Are the Toughest Non-Televised Darts Tournaments of 2026 So Far?

 

Over the past few weeks, I've been using the Q4QS Tournament Strength data to look at the competitive landscape of darts from several different angles.

I've compared the world's leading tours, looked at the difference between the Players Championship, Challenge Tour and Development Tour, and most recently investigated just how tough ADC Vault tournaments can become.

This time I'm asking a simple question:

What have been the toughest individual non-televised tournaments of 2026 so far?

There is one important distinction before looking at the rankings.

This analysis does not include the PDC's televised events.

The ranking is based on the floor, qualifying, pathway, regional and open tournaments currently represented in the Q4QS Tournament Strength database. Events such as the World Championship, World Matchplay and other televised PDC tournaments are therefore not part of this comparison.

And, of course, we're only in August. This is a snapshot of 2026 so far, not a final end-of-year ranking.

First – Tournament Strength Is NOT an Average

This distinction is particularly important when looking at the numbers below.

A Q4QS Tournament Strength Score of 93.00 does not mean the players averaged 93.00.

Tournament Strength is a calculated Q4QS measure designed to assess the overall quality of a tournament field. It incorporates factors including player ratings, player performance and the overall strength of those competing.

It allows tournaments from very different levels and parts of the game to be compared using the same scale.

Think of it as a field-strength rating, not a three-dart average.

The Toughest Non-Televised Tournaments of 2026 So Far

Rank	Tournament	Q4QS Tournament Strength
1	PDC Players Championship 4	99.01
2	PDC Players Championship 1	98.15
3	Winmau World Masters – Preliminary Round Finals	97.99
4	PDC Players Championship 3	97.81
5	PDC Players Championship 2	97.75
6	European Tour 1 – Tour Card Holder Qualifier	96.51
7	European Tour 2 – Tour Card Holder Qualifier	95.00
8	UK Q-School Final Stage – Event 2	93.00
9	UK Q-School Final Stage – Event 1	92.81
10	PDC Challenge Tour 1	92.80
11	UK Q-School Final Stage – Event 4	92.61
12	UK Q-School Final Stage – Event 3	92.53
13	PDC Challenge Tour 2	92.46
14	PDC Challenge Tour 9	92.31
15	UK Q-School Stage 1 – Event 1	92.00
16	PDC Challenge Tour 3	91.50
17	EU Q-School Final Stage – Event 3	91.44
18	PDC Challenge Tour 4	91.41
19	EU Q-School Final Stage – Event 4	91.19
20	EU Q-School Final Stage – Event 1	91.18

Players Championship Is Still the Benchmark

Within the non-televised tournaments covered by this analysis, the Players Championship is the clear benchmark.

Players Championship 4 leads the database with a Tournament Strength Score of 99.01.

Players Championship 1, 3 and 2 are also all inside the top five.

These are 128-player fields packed with Tour Card holders, and there simply aren't many places for a weaker player to hide.

You can draw an outstanding player in the opening round and, should you win, potentially face another immediately afterwards.

The Players Championship doesn't have the crowds and atmosphere associated with televised darts, but purely in terms of field strength, the numbers underline just how unforgiving the floor circuit can be.

The World Masters Preliminary Stage Is a Standout

Sitting amongst all those Players Championships is something very different.

The Winmau World Masters Preliminary Round Finals scores 97.99, putting it third in the entire non-televised ranking.

That's an enormous Tournament Strength Score.

And it illustrates something that has become increasingly apparent while producing this series:

the most prestigious part of a tournament isn't necessarily the strongest part statistically.

When large numbers of extremely capable players are fighting for a limited number of places, preliminary rounds and qualifiers can create extraordinarily concentrated fields.

Tour Card Holder Qualifiers Are Brutal

Two European Tour Card Holder Qualifiers are next, scoring 96.51 and 95.00.

Those aren't European Tour stage events.

They're the tournaments players have to survive simply to reach them.

With fields consisting almost entirely of PDC Tour Card holders and only a limited number of qualification places available, straightforward matches are difficult to find.

Some of the strongest fields in darts therefore aren't playing in front of thousands of spectators.

They're playing on the floor trying to earn the right to do so.

Q-School Really Is That Difficult

Anyone who has followed Q-School knows its reputation.

The Tournament Strength data gives us an indication of just how difficult it really is.

UK Q-School Final Stage Event 2 records 93.00.

Event 1 scores 92.81, while Events 4 and 3 register 92.61 and 92.53 respectively.

For comparison, the strongest Challenge Tour event in the current data is 92.80.

That means the strongest UK Q-School Final Stage event actually edges it.

Q-School brings together former Tour Card holders, leading Challenge and Development Tour players, international competitors and ambitious players attempting to break into the professional game.

The numbers reinforce something anyone who has attempted Q-School already knows:

earning a Tour Card is brutally difficult.

Challenge Tour Shows the Depth Below the 128

Challenge Tour 1 reaches 92.80, with Events 2 and 9 recording 92.46 and 92.31.

That's another indication of the depth immediately beneath the PDC Tour.

It can be tempting to see Tour Card holders and non-Tour Card holders as two clearly defined standards of player.

The Tournament Strength data suggests reality is considerably less straightforward.

There is a huge amount of quality immediately outside the professional 128.

And Then It Starts Getting Really Interesting

The overall Top 20 is understandably dominated by Players Championship, Q-School and Challenge Tour events.

But move a little further down the rankings and tournaments from very different parts of darts start appearing alongside one another.

One in particular stands out.

ADC Winmau Championship South – Event 3: 89.02

The ADC Winmau Championship South Event 3 scores 89.02.

That's a significant number.

The event attracted more than 300 players in the Q4QS database, while another Championship South event scores 87.90 and the Friday night warm-up reaches 86.86.

In the previous article in this series I looked at how strong the sharp end of the ADC Vault system could become.

The Championship data takes that story another step further.

The strongest ADC Championship fields aren't at Challenge Tour level – there is still a meaningful gap between 89.02 and the Challenge Tour events above 92.

But they're considerably stronger than the term "grassroots darts" might lead some people to assume.

And Then There's the Dutch Open

The 2026 Dutch Open records 88.56 in the Q4QS database.

There is an important caveat with this figure.

The Q4QS Dutch Open data currently covers the tournament from the Last 1,024 onwards, rather than the complete entry.

The 88.56 Tournament Strength Score should therefore be interpreted as the strength of the section of the tournament represented in my database – not as a measurement of every player who originally entered the Dutch Open.

Even with that qualification, it provides another interesting reference point for the strength of major open darts.

Beyond the Top 20

Once we move away from the PDC-dominated top of the ranking, the variety becomes much more apparent.

Tournament	Q4QS Tournament Strength
ADC Winmau Championship South – Event 3	89.02
UK Q-School Stage 1 – Event 3	88.80
Dutch Open*	88.56
ADC Winmau Championship South – Event 1	87.90
EU Q-School Stage 1 – Event 1	87.86
PDC Europe Next Gen – Weekend 1	86.64
EU Q-School Stage 1 – Event 2	86.59
PDC Asian Tour 2	86.58
Scottish Open	86.56

*Dutch Open score represents the tournament from the Last 1,024 onwards.

This might actually be the most interesting part of the analysis.

We have ADC Championship darts, Q-School, Next Gen, the Asian Tour and major international opens all beginning to occupy similar territory.

They're very different competitions with very different purposes.

But Tournament Strength gives us a way of asking the same question of all of them:

How strong was the field?

A Bigger Tournament Doesn't Necessarily Mean a Stronger Field

Tournament prestige, prize money, crowd size and Tournament Strength are completely different things.

A small invitational event can contain some of the greatest players in the world.

A huge open tournament can contain hundreds or even thousands of players across a massive range of abilities.

And a qualifier can contain an unusually concentrated group of extremely strong players because almost everyone in the room is fighting for only a handful of places.

Tournament Strength isn't designed to tell us which event matters most.

It measures the competitive strength of the field represented in the Q4QS database.

That's a very different question.

And it's producing some fascinating answers.

Final Thoughts

So far in 2026, one thing remains very clear.

Within the non-televised tournaments covered by the Q4QS database, Players Championship darts sets an extraordinarily high benchmark.

But underneath it lies a much more interesting hierarchy.

Tour Card Holder Qualifiers are exceptionally strong.

Q-School really is as brutal as its reputation suggests.

The Challenge Tour demonstrates the enormous depth immediately outside the PDC's professional 128.

And further down, ADC Championships, major opens, Next Gen and international PDC circuits show just how much quality exists across the wider darts world.

Perhaps the biggest lesson from this series continues to be the same one:

The name above the tournament doesn't necessarily tell you how difficult the draw is going to be.

The players in the room do.

And that's exactly what the Q4QS Tournament Strength Score is designed to measure.

These are the standings in August 2026.

There is still plenty of darts to be played.

It will be fascinating to see whether anything can dislodge Players Championship 4 from the top before the end of the year.

Coming Next: The Toughest Darts Venues in Britain

We've compared tours.

We've compared individual tournaments.

Now the next question is:

Where are the toughest places to play?

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Godbeer Goes Back-to-Back as Boundy Wins at Portishead (25th August 2026)

 

Tuesday produced another packed night of grassroots darts, with 39 tournaments from 25 August added to the Q4QS database.

There was plenty to pick out across the South West, headed by another victory for Logun Godbeer at Highbridge, while Steve Boundy took the Tuesday Open at Portishead. Further afield, some huge averages were recorded, with Kaydon Doherty topping the night's numbers with a remarkable 116.83.

Godbeer does it again at Highbridge

Logun Godbeer made it back-to-back JDC VOLTS victories at Highbridge Social Club after also winning Monday's competition.

This time Godbeer defeated Tai Anderson 3-0 in the final, and the standard increased significantly from the previous night.

Godbeer produced an 85.08 average in the final itself, the best recorded performance of the tournament. He finished with nine victories across the night, with Anderson recording eight wins and a best of 75.15.

Two wins in two nights makes Godbeer one of the week's early standout performers.

Boundy takes Portishead Tuesday Open

At Portishead Workmens Darts, Steve Boundy came through a 60-match Tuesday Open to claim the title.

Boundy defeated Liam Trotman 3-1 in the final, with both players accumulating eight victories during the competition.

Boundy's best performance was an 81.87 average, while Jack Kempster recorded 77.08 and Trotman reached 75.61.

It continues Boundy's excellent run at Portishead after he also featured prominently in recent Q4QS results.

Astbury impresses with 104.86

Daniel Astbury combined a tournament victory with one of Tuesday's strongest performances.

Astbury won the Wicketts Tuesday Round Robin, beating Terry Nash 3-1 in the final, having earlier produced a superb 104.86 average.

Nash wasn't far behind, reaching 98.02, while Astbury added another 91.70 during his run.

Bryan Flew hits 103.66 on way to title

At Tredegar Constitutional Club, Bryan Flew put together an impressive night in Vault Break Round Robin 2.

Flew beat Dewi Beynon 3-0 in the final and recorded eight wins across the competition.

His standout performance was a 103.66 average, while he also produced 87.61 and 81.98 during his title-winning run.

Kaydon Doherty tops the averages

The biggest number recorded anywhere in Tuesday's data came from Kaydon Doherty at The Bullseye Bar in Lichfield.

Doherty averaged a huge 116.83 during the Custom Handicap Round Robin before going on to win the tournament, defeating Antony Dent 3-0 in the final.

It was an extraordinary set of numbers from the event. Darren Tunnicliffe recorded 113.45, Stan Stannard 109.98, Doherty another 108.94 and Dent 107.50.

Robert Lovelle wins at the Railway

There was also a strong night at DARTS@ THE RAILWAY INN, where Robert Lovelle emerged victorious.

Lovelle beat Jamie Roberts 3-0 in the final and finished with nine wins, the most at the tournament.

He also hit a 100.20 average, matched by Dan Williams, who added performances of 93.94 and 91.17.

More JDC VOLTS action

Highbridge wasn't the only JDC venue in action.

Joseph Lauridsen won at Minehead, defeating Kyle Chivers 3-0 in the final after both Lauridsen and Joshua Pravato recorded seven victories. Pravato's 74.74 was the highest average there.

Elsewhere, Freddie Rowlands won at Gosport, Tyler Shuck took the Halesowen event and Spencer Edwards won at Ogmore Vale, where he produced an impressive 91.09 average.

Plenty more winners across Tuesday

With 39 tournaments added, there was far more action than could fit into one roundup.

Among the other winners were Stephen Jones, Stewart Doughty, Darren Malt, Sean Holley, Ben Rowley, Shaun Vernall, Jack Seymour, Kyle Jones, Jack Wright, David Fisher and Donna Buckley.

There was also a women's singles victory for Jane Price, who beat Sharon Brewer 2-1 in the final and produced the event's highest recorded average of 79.11.

Another big night added to Q4QS

Tuesday's results offered a bit of everything.

Godbeer's second Highbridge victory in two nights and Boundy's Portishead success provide the main South West stories, while performances from Astbury, Flew and others underline the quality appearing throughout the grassroots game.

And with 39 more tournaments now in the Q4QS database, the picture of players, venues and form across the grassroots circuit continues to grow.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Big Numbers and Junior Success on a Busy Monday (24th August 2026)

 

Monday brought another busy night of grassroots darts, with 22 tournaments from 24 August added to the Q4QS database.

There was plenty happening across the South West, including JDC VOLTS victories for Logun Godbeer at Highbridge and Joshua Stott at Salisbury, while the 49 Club staged another sizeable Under-65 competition. Elsewhere, Henry Povey, Edward Manley and Gavin Sterio were among several players producing eye-catching averages.

Godbeer takes Highbridge VOLTS title

Logun Godbeer continued his excellent run in the JDC VOLTS Series with victory at Highbridge Social Club.

Godbeer defeated Tai Anderson 3-0 in the final, completing an eight-win tournament. He also produced the highest average of the event, a 79.11, while Anderson recorded 77.08 and finished the day with seven victories.

It was another strong showing from Godbeer after also featuring prominently in Sunday's results.

Stott comes through at Salisbury

There was another South West JDC success at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, where Joshua Stott took the title.

Stott beat Joel Hughes 3-2 in the final and finished with six victories. His best recorded average was 72.86, while Riley Milligan reached 69.98 and Mason Beaven 68.07.

With Godbeer and Stott both winning, it was another productive night for the region's developing junior players.

Greenslade wins big 49 Club event

One result that deserves plenty of attention came from the 49 Club Under-65 round robin, which generated 99 recorded matches.

Ryan Greenslade eventually emerged as champion, defeating Dave Dawson 4-0 in the final.

Both Greenslade and Dawson recorded eight victories during the tournament, while James Male produced the night's highest average at the venue with 73.92. Brooklyn Anthony also reached 70.86.

With that amount of darts played, it was one of Monday's most substantial local competitions.

Povey produces two ton-plus averages

One of the strongest individual performances came from Henry Povey at the Wolversdene Club.

Povey won the Money In Money Out Round-Robin, beating Jamie Kelling 3-2 in the final, but it was his scoring earlier in the competition that really caught the eye.

He recorded averages of 107.36 and 105.93, before averaging 92.22 in the final. Kelling also impressed, reaching 98.38 during the event.

Manley impresses in Vault Break victory

Edward Manley was another player combining a tournament win with some very big numbers.

Manley won Clive Arms Vault Break 2, beating Liam Forward 3-0 in the final, and recorded a superb 107.36 average during his run.

He also produced a 100.20, while Joshua Russell hit 103.66. Manley finished the competition with six victories.

Sterio stars with 103.66

At the Nantyffyllon Non Political Club, Gavin Sterio won an event featuring 75 recorded matches.

Sterio beat Tristan Perry 3-0 in the final after eight victories across the competition and produced a 103.66 average.

Mike Huntley also enjoyed an impressive night with performances of 95.55 and 93.94, while Sterio added a 93.83.

More Monday winners

There was plenty more happening throughout the night.

Andy Steed won the Monday Night Flyer at 8 Ball Bar & Sports, defeating Nathan Beckett in the final after Beckett had accumulated eight victories. Luke Grantham's 88.41 was the highest recorded average.

Spencer Cree took the Monday night round robin at Bostin Darts 180 Bar, while Freddie Wilson won at The C's Bar & Function Rooms, where Tom Finnegan produced a 96.97 average.

There was also another strong junior performance from Riley Herbert, who won the JDC VOLTS event in Milton Keynes with three victories.

Another strong start to the week

Twenty-two tournaments may be fewer than Sunday's huge programme, but there was no shortage of quality.

The combination of Godbeer and Stott winning JDC titles in the South West, Greenslade coming through a 99-match Under-65 event, and Povey, Manley and Sterio all producing ton-plus averages made it another interesting night to add to the growing Q4QS database.

And with another full week of grassroots action ahead, there should be plenty more to come.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Greaves Stars as Sunday Produces 40 Tournaments 23rd August 2026

 

Sunday was one of the busiest days I have added to the Q4QS database recently, with 40 tournaments recorded from 23 August.

From the PDC Women’s Series to JDC VOLTS events around the country, restricted-average competitions and busy local opens, there was a huge amount of darts taking place.

Beau Greaves provided the biggest-name success of the day, while Ben Rowley produced some exceptional numbers, Steve Boundy collected another title and there were plenty of South West and junior stories to follow.

Greaves takes Women’s Series 19

Beau Greaves continued her success on the PDC Women’s Series by winning Event 19, beating Lisa Ashton 5-3 in the final.

Greaves won seven matches during the tournament and produced a 96.97 average in a 4-0 victory, followed later by 96.30 in her 5-1 win over Aileen de Graaf.

Ashton enjoyed an excellent run herself, winning six matches and recording 90.54, while Fallon Sherrock reached 93.94 and de Graaf 93.22.

Rowley hits huge numbers

One of Sunday's most eye-catching grassroots performances came from Ben Rowley at the Gap Week MIMO at Phoenix Darts Club.

Rowley won the competition with a 3-0 victory over Charlie Hymers in the final – and his numbers during the tournament were outstanding.

He produced recorded averages of 109.98, 104.86 and 100.20, with the 104.86 coming in the final itself.

Whatever the level or format, three separate ton-plus performances in the same event certainly stand out.

Boundy adds another title

Steve Boundy has featured regularly in these roundups recently and he was back among the winners on Sunday.

Boundy won the CUFC Open, defeating Andy Darbon 3-0 in the final after a tournament in which 75 matches were recorded.

His best performance was a 93.94 average, while he accumulated eight victories during the event. Darbon reached the final after seven wins.

Scott Mc wins at Wiltshire Darts House

There was another competitive Sunday Open at Wiltshire Darts House, with Scott Mc eventually taking the title.

Scott defeated Danny Humphries 5-3 in the final after recording nine victories across the competition.

Humphries may have finished runner-up but produced one of the day's strongest conventional averages with 103.66, while Scott reached 93.94 and Johnny Haines 91.09.

Richardson comes through high-quality Earls Barton event

The Silver Band pre-Vault round robin also produced some impressive numbers.

James Richardson beat Josh Richardson 3-2 in the final after both players reached a 100.20 average during the competition.

James added a 98.02 performance and collected ten victories, while Josh won nine matches and also recorded 99.40 and 92.02.

That looks like one of the strongest local events of Sunday's schedule.

South West JDC successes

There was a huge programme of JDC VOLTS action and several events across the South West.

At The Kings Pub in Exeter, Joseph Lauridsen defeated Quin Dymond 3-1 in the final. Both players finished with six victories, while George Miller produced the event's highest recorded average of 83.50.

At The Banckers Draught in Minehead, Charlie Mossman enjoyed an excellent day, beating Luhandré Laage in the final. Mossman won nine matches and recorded an 88.41 along the way.

There were JDC winners elsewhere too, including Arjun Sharma, Zach Langley, Jay Cottier, Ryan-Rai Rushton, Riley Pinhorne, Charlie Wills, James Prettyjohn, Rhys Evans and Riley Herbert across another extremely busy day for the junior circuit.

King takes the Portishead Under-55

The restricted-average competitions continue to provide some of the most competitive grassroots tournaments.

At Portishead Workmens Darts, Ryan King won the Under-55 Sunday Lunch, defeating Archie O'Driscoll 3-2 in the final.

King, O'Driscoll and Kristian Postlethwaite each recorded six victories during the tournament, with Joshua Geal producing its highest recorded average of 62.02.

More Sunday winners

There were plenty more performances worth noting.

Cody Kibble won the DARTMANN Under-70 tournament at Matson Rugby Club, beating Paul Meyer in the final.

Liam Hughes took the Champs Vault Break Week 1 competition despite Lee Evans producing an excellent 102.48 average during the event.

Kirk Bain collected ten victories on his way to the Isle of Wight Grand Prix 2 title, while Liam Hawthorne won the Under-65 round robin at Bostin Darts 180 Bar and Jack Wright took the Vault Break competition at Rushden Windmill Club.

Another reminder of the depth of grassroots darts

Forty tournaments in a single day tells its own story.

Alongside a major PDC Women's Series event were JDC competitions, regional ADC events, local opens, average-restricted tournaments and money-in-money-out competitions.

That's exactly what I want these daily Q4QS roundups to capture: not simply the biggest names, but the depth of competitive darts taking place every day.

And on a Sunday featuring Greaves, Ashton and Richardson alongside dozens of local winners and emerging juniors, there was plenty worth recording.

Q4QS Weekly Spotlight: Three Players Who Caught My Eye This Week (weekending 23rd August 2026)

Another week of grassroots darts, and again the difficult part wasn't finding three players worth talking about — it was narrowing the list down.

This week's final three have arrived here in very different ways.

Mat Caste simply kept winning, collecting three titles during the week and producing one of the best averages anywhere in the results. Henry Cooper delivered when the stakes were considerably higher, winning the South West MODUS Super Series regional qualifier. And Logun Godbeer finished the week in outstanding fashion, winning two events on consecutive days and extending his latest run to ten straight victories.

As always, this feature isn't intended to be a simple list of the highest averages or biggest names. These are three performances and stories that caught my eye over the last seven days.

Mat Caste

Player Profile

Mat Caste has built an enormous body of work during 2026.

His Q4QS database now contains 712 matches, of which he has won 591, giving him an excellent 83% win rate across 112 recorded events. Those appearances have produced 32 tournament victories, along with 23 runner-up finishes and 21 semi-finals.

His overall match average of 77.34 perhaps doesn't immediately reveal how high his ceiling can be. Caste has a best recorded average of 120.24, while his top five also contain four separate performances of 103 or better.

He's also shown that level against strong opposition. His recorded victories include Dylan Dowling and Nunjo Dewaele on the Challenge Tour, while he has beaten Danny Lauby on several occasions, including a 3–0 victory accompanied by a 100.20 average.

This Week

This was a week when Caste seemed to be permanently around the business end of tournaments.

It began at The Carlton House Club in Olney, where he collected the title after eight victories. His best performances during the event included averages of 93.94, 88.41 and 86.94.

Two days later came the week's headline performance.

At Windmill Hill Golf Centre, Caste produced a huge 112.69 average, followed later by 100.63 in his semi-final against Mark Boardman. He then defeated Adam King 3–0 in the final to take another title.

Thursday brought another victory at Hotshots Sports Bar in Bletchley. Caste beat Bailey Martin and Charlie Collins before overcoming Addison Hefferon 3–1 in the final with an 85.85 average.

And even after three tournament victories, his week wasn't finished.

Caste reached the quarter-finals of the MODUS Super Series South East & London Regional Qualifier, beating Stuart Woodmore and Gary Stafford before narrowly losing 6–5 to eventual finalist Connor Levett.

Three titles plus a MODUS regional quarter-final would be an exceptional week by any measure. Add a 112.69 average into the equation and Caste was impossible to overlook.

---

Henry Cooper

Player Profile

Henry Cooper's numbers are extraordinary.

Across 377 recorded matches, Cooper has won 341, producing a 90.5% career win rate within the Q4QS database. From 55 events he has already recorded 33 tournament victories, meaning he has won well over half of all the events in which he has appeared.

The scoring figures are equally impressive.

Cooper's overall match average stands at 84.49, while his last ten matches average a remarkable 94.25. His best recorded performance is 115.62, with further peaks of 111.33 and two separate 109.98 averages.

He also arrived at the end of this week's data with a perfect 10 wins from his last ten recorded matches.

This Week

Cooper only needed one tournament to earn his place in this week's feature.

And it was an important one.

At St Breward AFC & Social Club, Cooper won the ADC South West Series 18 MODUS Super Series Qualifier.

He produced a 92.02 average in a 6–0 victory over Jamie Kay, before defeating Ricky King 6–2 in the final with a 90.28 average. Cooper finished the event with four victories and the two highest averages recorded by any player in the tournament.

It also continued a remarkable period of form. Cooper's profile shows a last-five average of 97.53 and last-ten figure of 94.25, numbers which underline just how strongly he has been playing recently.

Some selections in this series come from winning several events in a week.

This one comes from winning the event that mattered.

---

Logun Godbeer

Player Profile

Logun Godbeer's database tells a slightly different story from the other two.

He has already accumulated a remarkable 815 recorded matches, winning 573 of them for a 70.3% win rate across 132 events. Those tournaments have yielded 22 victories, 15 runner-up finishes and 36 semi-finals.

His overall average is 63.50, but there are plenty of indications of a significantly higher ceiling. Godbeer has produced three recorded 93.94 averages, while he also hit 91.09 earlier this week at Portishead.

Perhaps most interestingly, his record already includes wins over considerably higher-rated opposition, including Jimmy Bristow, Robbie Long, Luke Harding and Rich Griffee.

This Week

Godbeer saved his best results for the end of the week.

On Friday at Portishead Workmens Darts, he came through the open tournament with eight victories.

The knockout stages included a 3–0 win over Luke Adams with an 80.52 average, followed by a 3–1 semi-final victory over Steve Boundy. Godbeer then defeated Ellie Harwood 4–1 in the final to take the title.

Less than 24 hours later, he did it again.

This time it was the JDC Volts at Highbridge Social Club.

Godbeer defeated Alfie Coles, George Miller, Ben Miller and Woody Littlewood before another win over Miller in the semi-final. A 3–1 victory over Tai Anderson completed his second tournament triumph in two days.

Those results also mean his current recorded form reads a perfect 10 wins from his last ten matches.

Two different events. Two consecutive days. Two titles.

That's a pretty good way to finish a week — and a very good reason for Logun Godbeer to make his first appearance in the Weekly Spotlight.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Cooper Retains Vault Crown as Martin, Court and Crook Impress

 

Saturday produced another fascinating day across the grassroots game, with 20 tournaments added to the Q4QS database from 22 August.

There were strong fields, big performances and plenty of different levels of the game represented, but one result that certainly deserves highlighting was Henry Cooper successfully retaining his ADC South West crown.

Elsewhere, Robbie Martin produced a superb display at Dorchester, Gary Court came through a competitive Wiltshire Darts House Open, Roger Crook booked his MODUS opportunity and Logun Godbeer continued to impress on the junior circuit.

Cooper retains his South West crown

Henry Cooper may not have made the six featured winners on today's graphic, but his victory at the ADC South West Series 18.0 MODUS Super Series Qualifier was undoubtedly one of Saturday's major stories.

Cooper came through the event at St Breward AFC & Social Club, beating Ricky King 6-2 in the final to retain his Vault crown.

The numbers backed up the result too. Cooper produced the tournament's highest recorded average, 92.02, in a 6-0 victory over Jamie Kay before averaging 90.28 in the final against King. Jamie Kay reached 90.99, Neil Meneer 89.29 and Gareth Griffiths 88.14 in what was clearly a competitive South West field.

For Cooper, though, it is another significant regional title and further evidence of the consistency he continues to show in South West competition.

Martin dominates at Dorchester

One of the performances of the day came from Robbie Martin at the DTC August 2026 Open.

There were 118 matches recorded at Dorchester Trinity Club and Martin eventually emerged as champion with a 5-2 final victory over Alfie Yarrow.

Martin's scoring throughout the tournament was particularly impressive. He recorded a 100.20 average alongside two separate 95.94 performances and collected ten wins across the event.

Yarrow also enjoyed an excellent tournament, winning nine matches and reaching the final, with a best recorded average of 92.02.

That makes Martin's victory one of the standout achievements from Saturday's results.

Court takes Wiltshire Open

There was another excellent tournament at Wiltshire Darts House, where Gary Court came through a 75-match competition to take the title.

Court defeated Josh McCarthy 5-3 in the final, finishing the tournament with nine victories. McCarthy collected eight on his way to the runner-up spot.

Court also joined the century club with a 100.20 average, while McCarthy reached 93.94.

With Will Jackson, Dave Geale and Mitch McCarthy among those also accumulating plenty of wins, it looks to have been another strong local field.

Crook books MODUS opportunity

Another significant result came in the MODUS Super Series South East & London Regional Qualifier.

Roger Crook emerged victorious, edging Connor Levett in the deciding match after producing the tournament's best recorded average of 95.39 during his run.

Crook collected five victories, with Levett winning four, while John Power, Jack Seymour and Jack Roddis were among the other players making progress.

The regional qualifying route continues to provide opportunities for players outside the traditional professional circuits, and Crook has now made the most of his.

Godbeer wins again

There was another success for Logun Godbeer, this time in the JDC VOLTS Series 7 event at Highbridge Social Club.

Godbeer beat Tai Anderson 3-1 in the final and collected six wins during the competition. He also recorded the event's three highest averages at 75.87, 71.25 and 69.63.

Saturday was a busy day for the VOLTS circuit generally. Tyler Shuck won at Bostin Darts 180 Bar, Callum Williams took the Llandysul event and Joel Walton won at the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield.

Tauringana takes South West Under-55 regional title

The South West also staged its Vault 18.0 Level Up Core Regional Finals, with Panashe Tauringana coming through to take the title.

Tauringana defeated Fraser Pearce in the final, while Pearce accumulated seven victories across the competition. The biggest recorded average belonged to Zayn Paterson at 93.94.

It's another example of why the restricted-average competitions are becoming such an interesting part of the grassroots calendar, providing meaningful competition and progression opportunities at different levels of the game.

Plenty more winners

The depth of Saturday's schedule stretched well beyond the headline events.

Rich Hosey won a huge 301 DIDO round robin at Bostin Darts 180 Bar, with 113 matches recorded and ten victories for the eventual champion.

Harley Glycos won the 120-match Its 4LIAM. BiG 30 tournament in Newport, collecting nine victories, while Dave Fisher won ten matches on his way to success in the Princess Royal round robin.

There was also an impressive ten-win title run from Aaron Beeney, while Wayne Halliwell won the Shaftesbury Monthly and Ben Spencer came through the SSNAP Charity Event.

Another strong Saturday

Twenty more tournaments have now been added to Q4QS, and once again the results demonstrate just how much competitive darts is taking place away from the biggest televised stages.

For me, Cooper retaining his South West crown deserves to be right among the headline stories, alongside Martin's excellent Dorchester performance, Court's Wiltshire success and Crook earning his MODUS opportunity.

And with Godbeer winning again at Highbridge, there was plenty happening among the next generation as well.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Mould Wins Strong Bradmoor Field as Godbeer Takes Portishead Title (22nd August 2026)

 

Friday produced another busy night of grassroots darts, with 22 tournaments added to the Q4QS database from 21 August and plenty of quality scattered across the country.

The headline performance came at Bradmoor Farm, where Adam Mould came through a substantial Friday Vault Break field. There were 155 matches recorded, with Mould eventually taking the title ahead of Ritchie Edhouse.

It was a particularly strong event statistically. Edhouse produced the highest recorded average of the day anywhere in the results collected by Q4QS, firing in a superb 111.33, while Andy Smith also reached 96.97 and Mould recorded a 93.94 during his title-winning run.

Mould's victory is perhaps even more impressive when looking at the amount of darts he had to play. He registered nine wins, the most of anyone at the event, before finishing the job against Edhouse in the final.

Godbeer gets the job done at Portishead

Closer to the Q4QS heartland, there was another competitive night at Portishead Workmens Darts, where 75 matches were recorded in the Friday Open.

Logun Godbeer emerged with the title, overcoming Ellie Harwood in the final after an eight-win campaign. Harwood herself had enjoyed an excellent night with seven victories, while Steve Boundy and Max Maggs both collected six.

Interestingly, it was Boundy rather than the eventual champion who produced the night's best recorded average at Portishead, hitting 89.88. Ryan Greenslade reached 85.89 and John Maggs 83.50, showing the strength running through the tournament.

Davies warms up in style

With the Red Dragon Champion of Champions looming, Dai Davies could hardly have asked for a better preparation.

Davies won the Champion of Champions warm-up tournament at Whitchurch Rugby Club, with 38 matches recorded. He produced averages of 98.33, 95.66 and 93.94 during the event, while Dean Reynolds recorded an excellent 103.66.

Given what lies ahead, that is a timely bit of form from Davies.

Eichen impresses at Woodbridge Hill

There was also an excellent performance from Jake Eichen at the Woodbridge Hill Working Men's Club Vault Break.

Eichen collected eight victories on his way to the title and produced the tournament's three biggest recorded averages — 98.11, 92.02 and 88.41. Jack Harvey also had a strong evening, picking up six wins.

That's one of the performances from Friday that perhaps deserves a little more attention than it gets from simply looking at the winners.

Crowther comes through strong SDO Open

The SDO Summer Series 5.6 Open also produced some excellent numbers.

Gary Crowther eventually took the title in a field which included an impressive Paul Rowley. Crowther recorded a 95.55, while Rowley produced three separate performances of 97.93, 97.50 and 94.81. Eddie Price topped the tournament averages with 98.02.

Crowther's six victories were enough to secure the title despite some serious competition around him.

More winners around the circuit

There was plenty more happening across Friday's results.

John Power won at Epsom Town Social Club, Arun Grewal took the IDL Super GP in Ruislip, Robert Lewis won the Sub-50 round robin in Newport and Cameron Edwards came through the Trial Run Number 2 tournament at Wattsville National Club.

At junior level, Reggie Woodmore won the JDC VOLTS Series 7 event at the Simeon Arms in Ryde, while Kirsten Casley took JDC Wales Girls Series Event 5.

There was also a title for Archie Bourne at the NDC World Championship, while David Hitchman won the Premier League Division 1 Week 3 event at the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield.

Friday's numbers

The biggest individual average collected by Q4QS was Edhouse's 111.33, followed by Grant Jackson at 107.36 and Dean Reynolds at 103.66. Dai Davies (98.33), Jake Eichen (98.11), Eddie Price (98.02) and Paul Rowley (97.93) were among several others pushing towards or beyond the high-90s.

Another 22 tournaments are therefore in the database, but what stands out again is the variety. From a 155-match Vault Break to local opens, junior events and restricted competitions, there was quality at several different levels.

Adam Mould's Bradmoor victory probably takes top billing, while the performances of Edhouse, Davies, Eichen and Godbeer give Friday's results plenty of depth.

Robbie Long Leads the Way on a Busy Thursday Night of Grassroots Darts - Results SOuth and SOuth West 20th August 2026

 

Robbie Long was among the headline winners on another busy night of grassroots darts on Thursday, producing a strong performance to take the honours at Hangar 61.

Results from across the country again demonstrated the depth of the grassroots game, with Keith Selby, Bryan Flew, Stewart Wilde and others producing some of the night's strongest recorded averages.

For Q4QS, though, the standout story from the South West came at Hangar 61.

Long takes the title at Hangar 61

Robbie Long continued his impressive recent form by winning the Thursday night round robin at Hangar 61.

Long defeated Martyn Freeman 3–1 in the final, having also produced the tournament's highest recorded average with an 88.41 during his run. He added an 85.79 later in the competition, while Simon Lloyd recorded an 83.70.

It was another notable result for a player who has been putting together an increasingly impressive run on the local circuit.

Selby breaks the ton at the Local Lock Up

The biggest genuine individual average I'm highlighting from Thursday came from Keith Selby, who produced an excellent 100.20 during Local Lock Up Series 13 Week 7 at Darts In Watford.

Selby ultimately reached the final, where John Ayris claimed the title with a 3–1 victory.

Ayris enjoyed an excellent night himself, recording two 91.09 averages on his way through the competition.

Bull takes MiMo 2008

At Locks Heath Working Men's Club, Nathan Bull emerged victorious in MiMo 2008.

Bull completed an eight-win evening by defeating Carl Houston 3–0 in the final, while Joey Cole produced the highest recorded average from the event with 91.09.

Bull himself reached 83.50 during the competition as he put together an impressive run to the title.

Strong numbers at Brynmawr

There was plenty of quality at Brynmawr Social Club, where Craig Dobbins eventually took the money-in-money-out title.

Dobbins defeated David Watkins 3–2 in the final, but it was Bryan Flew who produced the standout statistical performance.

Flew registered an excellent 93.94, while Cameron Edwards, Dean Rossiter and Watkins all reached 91.09.

That made Brynmawr one of the strongest events of the night in terms of the leading recorded averages.

Bailey survives a marathon in Devizes

There were 75 matches recorded at the Devizes Town Round Robin U70 Average before Christopher Bailey emerged with the title.

Bailey edged Ian Runnacles 4–3 in the final, while Darren Braine recorded the tournament's highest average at 81.24. Mike Barton was next with 78.05.

Hemming wins Inbetween Vault

Wesley Hemming was another of Thursday's winners, taking the Inbetween Vault 1 title after defeating Elliot Smith 3–1 in the final.

The highest recorded average came from Stewart Wilde, who hit an impressive 92.02.

Hemming also produced 84.18 during his title-winning run.

Caste claims Hotshots victory

At Hotshots Sports Bar in Bletchley, Mat Caste took the Vault Break 1 title.

Caste defeated Addison Hefferon 3–1 in the final, with Hefferon having earlier produced the competition's highest recorded average of 90.18.

Charlie Collins also impressed with performances of 88.41 and 86.51.

More winners across the grassroots game

There were plenty more players celebrating tournament victories.

Daniel Killick won the Champagne Shot Darts RR Series U65.9, beating Steve Hylands 4–2 in the final. Hylands' 85.89 was the highest recorded average from the competition.

At The Junction Inn, Finley Bennett defeated Stephen Cake 3–1 to take the title, with George Humphreys producing an 88.41.

Ryan Fuller won Thursday Night MIMO at Legends Darts Lounge, while Aaron Boucher took the Thursday Night Under 60 Average competition at Highridge United Football Club.

And at Samba Darts Academy, Nick Whitehouse came through a close final against Mark Zambra to take the Vault Style Round Robin title.

Alongside Selby's 100.20, Flew's 93.94 and Wilde's 92.02, there was once again plenty of evidence of the quality being produced throughout the grassroots game.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Big Numbers at GWRSA as Spurdle Takes Grand Prix Finals (20th August 2026)

 

Wednesday 19 August produced another varied night across the grassroots darts scene, with 32 tournaments added to the Q4QS database.

There were strong performances across the South West, a particularly eye-catching night at the GWRSA Club, another title for Shaun Vernall, and a Grand Prix Finals victory for Keiran Spurdle. The JDC VOLTS programme was busy again too, while several players broke through the 90 and 100-average barriers.

Spurdle takes the Pawlett Pavilion Grand Prix Finals

One of the night's standout local results came at the Pawlett Pavilion Grand Prix Finals, where Keiran Spurdle came through a competitive field to take the title.

Spurdle recorded a best average of 87.07 and eventually defeated CJ Ayres 3–2 in the final. Ayres himself had produced an 85.08 earlier in the competition.

Spurdle finished with six wins, while Dave Fisher recorded five and Ayres five, rounding off the Grand Prix series with a closely fought finale.

Vernall wins at Evesham

Shaun Vernall added another tournament victory at Evesham Darts Competitions.

Vernall won seven matches and defeated Nick Kibble 4–1 in the final, recording several solid averages along the way including an 83.15.

The biggest individual number at Evesham belonged to Curtis Savage, however, with an excellent 96.97 average.

Nick Kibble and Reece Pinches both recorded six wins as Vernall ultimately emerged on top.

Huge scoring at GWRSA

Some of Wednesday's best numbers came from the GWRSA Club.

Roger Crook produced the highest recorded average anywhere in Wednesday's results with a superb 103.66, while Johnny Haines wasn't far behind with a 100.20 and another performance of 98.68.

Yet neither won the tournament.

That honour went to Andy Smith, who recorded a 96.97 of his own during the event and eventually beat Crook 3–0 in the final.

Smith finished the night with eight victories, Crook seven and Haines six – a very strong tournament by any measure.

Chris Hurds wins in Leominster

Chris Hurds was another of Wednesday's featured winners, coming through the Money Money Out event in Leominster.

Hurds recorded an 86.71 average during his run before beating Hayden Newman 3–2 in the final.

Alec McCready also featured prominently, twice recording 83.50 averages and picking up six wins during the tournament.

Stone comes through at Stalbridge

At Stalbridge, Steve Stone began the new season with a tournament victory.

Stone defeated Jonathan Stuart 3–2 in the final, finishing the competition with seven victories.

The performance numbers were headed by Max Adams, who produced a 93.94 average as well as an 85.89 during the event.

Kearns takes Purton Under-70 competition

Another sizeable competition took place at Purton, with 70 matches recorded in the Under-70 Average Cash In-Cash Out event.

Dani Kearns eventually took the title, beating Phil Gray 4–2 in the final.

Gray actually finished with eight wins, while Kearns, Gavin Lloyd and Wayne Millin all recorded seven. Samuel King produced the highest recorded average of the competition at 83.50.

Bailey wins nine at Devizes

Christopher Bailey had a long route to victory at the Devizes Town Under-70 Round Robin.

Bailey accumulated nine wins before edging Ian Runnacles 4–3 in the final.

The best recorded average came from Darren Braine at 81.24, while Mike Barton, Dave Sheppard, Liam Garnett and Andy Evans were among the other leading performers.

Zach Quinn takes ADC sanctioned event

There was also a substantial ADC Sanctioned Round Robin at the Sartan Club, with 75 matches recorded.

Zach Quinn took the title with a 4–1 final victory over Ryan Palmer, recording an 89.10 in that match.

Ryan Smith produced the tournament's best recorded average at 93.94, with Palmer hitting 93.38 and Adrian Wood 91.09. Quinn finished with seven victories, while Palmer, Geoff James and Ryan Smith were among those on six.

Another busy JDC VOLTS night

The JDC VOLTS continued across several venues.

Among Wednesday's winners were Dylan Person, Steffan Thomas, Jay Cottier, Harley Glycos, Rhys Evans, Carson Needs and George Miller.

One of the performances of the night came from Harley Glycos at Out Out Bar in Newport. Glycos produced a 93.94 average and went on to win the tournament with six victories.

At The Kings Pub in Exeter, George Miller defeated Oliver Hutchings 3–2 to take the title, with Hutchings recording six victories across the competition.

More Wednesday winners

There was plenty more happening across the night's 32 competitions.

Louise Pearson won eight matches to take the Top Tee Vault Inbetweener, defeating Toby McLeod 3–2 in the final and recording a best of 83.50.

Reece Colley won the Bostin Darts Vault-style round robin, recording a 93.94 on his way to eight victories and the title.

And there was an excellent performance from Louis Melville at the Shooters warm-up. Melville recorded a 100.20 average, followed it with a 90.18 and ultimately completed an eight-win night by taking the title.

Wednesday's standout numbers

There were four ton-plus recorded averages among the leading performances:

Roger Crook – 103.66
Johnny Haines – 100.20
Louis Melville – 100.20
Kev Brown – 100.20

Johnny Haines also recorded 98.68, while Andy Smith and Curtis Savage both hit 96.97.

Another night where the highest average didn't necessarily mean lifting the trophy – and another useful batch of grassroots results added to the growing Q4QS picture.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Caste Hits 112.69 as Tuesday Produces Huge Numbers (19th August 2026)

 

Tuesday 18 August was a busy night across the grassroots game, with 39 tournaments added to the Q4QS database and some seriously impressive numbers appearing along the way.

The headline performance came from Mat Caste, who produced a spectacular 112.69 average on his way to victory in Milton Keynes, while Bryan Flew, Dan Williams, Sam Jackson and Jamie Chaplin were among several other players combining big scoring with tournament success.

There was plenty happening closer to home too, including a ten-win night for Steve Boundy at Portishead.

Caste steals the show with 112.69

The performance of the night belonged to Mat Caste at the Windmill Hill Golf Centre Vault Break in Milton Keynes.

Caste produced a huge 112.69 average during the tournament and backed it up with another ton-plus performance of 100.63.

More importantly, he turned the numbers into a tournament victory, finishing with seven wins and beating Adam King 3–0 in the final.

A 112 average at any level catches the eye, and producing another 100+ performance during the same competition makes Caste's night particularly impressive.

Boundy wins ten at Portishead

There was plenty to celebrate at Portishead Workmens Darts, where Steve Boundy came through Freddie's Birthday Bash.

Boundy amassed an impressive ten victories during the competition before beating Jack Collins 3–0 in the final.

The biggest average at the event actually came from Logun Godbeer, whose 91.09 topped the night's figures. Max Maggs, Phil Woodall and Andy Darbon all recorded 83.50 averages, while Boundy's best was 81.24.

It was a good example of why looking beyond the single highest average often tells you much more about a tournament – Boundy's consistency ultimately carried him all the way through.

Williams dominates at the Railway

Dan Williams produced one of Tuesday's most complete performances at the Railway Inn Round-Robin.

Williams won nine matches, beat Charlie Mossman 3–0 in the final and produced a superb 103.66 average during his run.

That wasn't an isolated burst either. Williams also recorded two 91.09 averages and an 88.41, making his overall performance one of the strongest of the night.

Flew fires in 107 at Tredegar

Another huge performance came from Bryan Flew at the Tredegar Vault Break.

Flew produced a massive 107.36, the second-highest individual average recorded across Tuesday's Q4QS results.

He also hit 92.02 twice, including in his 3–0 final victory over Callum Smith, to complete an excellent tournament-winning performance.

Chaplin comes through a high-quality Wicketts event

There were some excellent numbers at the Wicketts Tuesday Round Robin.

Daniel Astbury produced averages of 100.20, 98.02 and 96.97, but it was Jamie Chaplin who eventually claimed the title.

The pair met in the final and Chaplin produced a 96.69 average to win 3–1.

Both players finished with eight victories, making this one of the strongest head-to-head stories from Tuesday's results.

Jackson combines a ton average with the title

Sam Jackson also joined Tuesday's 100 club at St John's.

Jackson recorded a 100.20 average during the competition and eventually defeated Mark Burns 4–2 in the final.

Like Boundy at Portishead, Jackson finished the tournament with ten victories, underlining the consistency required to negotiate these longer round-robin competitions.

Plenty happening on the JDC VOLTS circuit

Tuesday also brought another busy programme of JDC VOLTS action.

Among the winners were Jack Powell at Resolven, Jenson Macey in Gosport, Tyler Shuck at Halesowen, Luke Bennett in Minehead, Lucas Milligan at Blackwood and Spencer Edwards at Ogmore Vale.

Macey produced a particularly impressive sequence in Gosport, recording a best of 85.89 and winning seven matches on his way to the title.

In Minehead, Luke Bennett took the title with six victories, while Ryan Elliott produced the tournament's highest recorded average at 73.32.

More winners across a busy Tuesday

There were plenty of other performances worth noting.

Darren Malt won his Cash Prize Round Robin with eight victories and a best of 93.94, while Clayton Ford also recorded eight wins on his way to the Chinnor Pavilion Vault Break title.

Lloyd Walker won the Fareham MIMO, George Whyte came through the IDL Super GP in Ruislip, Andy Hammond won at Widden Rugby Club and Taylor Mcguckian produced a 90.18 on the way to victory at Bedworth.

And at Newent, Sharon Brewer took the women's singles title with a 3–1 final victory over Ruby Kennedy.

A night of big numbers

The depth of Tuesday's scoring was perhaps the biggest story.

Mat Caste – 112.69
Bryan Flew – 107.36
Nathan Bull – 103.66
Dan Williams – 103.66
Rich Griffee – 102.48

Caste added another 100.63, while Stephen Cake, Sam Jackson and Daniel Astbury all recorded 100.20 averages.

Not everyone producing those numbers went on to win, which is another reminder of just how unpredictable these competitions can be.

Across 39 tournaments, Tuesday provided everything from junior events and Under-65 competitions to Vaults and money-in-money-out round robins – and another huge collection of results to feed into the growing Q4QS database.
