Vault 19 Tournament Strength: Pinches Still Leads as the Toughest Venues Begin to Emerge

 

A week ago I took my first look at Tournament Strength in Vault 19, and one venue immediately stood out.

Pinches Cue Club in Norwich produced a Tournament Strength of 1.350.

It was the strongest figure in the early data, but one tournament doesn't necessarily make a tough venue.

A week later, Pinches has provided a pretty convincing response.

Its second event produced 1.340.

So while plenty has changed underneath it, Pinches remains the venue setting the standard — and this time I've ranked each venue only once, using its strongest Vault 19 Tournament Strength recorded so far.

Vault 19: The Strongest Venues So Far

Rank	Venue	Highest Tournament Strength	Players
1	Pinches Cue Club, Norwich	1.350	24
2	Faringdon Football Club, Faringdon	1.329	8
3	Tipton Sports Academy, Tipton	1.297	28
4	Bagley Sports & Social Club, Shrewsbury	1.280	24
5	The Brookside, Syston	1.278	13
6	Sartan Club, Bishopsworth	1.265	24
7	Clacton Sports Bar, Clacton	1.256	24
8	The Monty Club, Newtown	1.256	24
9	Pot Black, Shanklin	1.252	24
10	Lindsay Constitutional Club, Cefn Hengoed	1.250	24
11	Bretforton Sports Club, Evesham	1.248	24
12	Dorchester Trinity Club, Dorchester	1.248	24

Each venue appears once, using its highest Tournament Strength recorded in Vault 19 so far. Player count relates to that tournament.

Pinches Has Backed It Up

This is probably the most important development since my first article.

Pinches hasn't simply held the No.1 position because nobody has beaten its original score.

It has produced another enormous number.

Its two Vault 19 events have recorded:

1.350 — 10 September

1.340 — 17 September

The second field contained 22 players compared with 24 for the first, yet its Tournament Strength fell by only 0.010.

That is beginning to look less like one exceptional tournament and more like a genuinely strong regular venue.

There is still a long way to go in Vault 19, but Pinches has provided the strongest early evidence of consistency at the very top.

Faringdon Produces a Huge Score – With a Caveat

The closest anyone has come to Pinches is Faringdon Football Club, with an impressive 1.329.

There is an important difference, however.

Faringdon's 1.329 came from an eight-player field.

That doesn't make the strength figure irrelevant. If eight very strong players enter a tournament, it is still a very strong tournament.

But it is different from producing a similarly strong number across a field of 20-plus players.

Faringdon has actually had three Vault 19 scores in the data — 1.170, 1.203 and then 1.329 — so it will be particularly interesting to see where it settles over the next few weeks.

Tipton Makes a Big Move

One of the figures I particularly like is Tipton Sports Academy's 1.297.

Why?

Because it came from 28 players.

That's the largest field among the venues at the very top of this table.

Tipton's earlier event was considerably lower at 1.055, so again I'm not ready to label it one of the toughest regular venues on the evidence of one huge tournament.

But a 1.297 from 28 players deserves attention.

Bagley Is Getting Stronger

Bagley Sports & Social Club is another venue where the second result adds something to the story.

Its first Vault 19 Tournament Strength was 1.238.

The next was 1.280.

That moves Bagley up to fourth in the one-venue-only table and, importantly, gives it two strong tournaments rather than one isolated result.

That is exactly what I will be watching as Vault 19 develops.

The Usual Suspects Are Still There

Some familiar venues remain prominent.

Sartan Club sits sixth with its 1.265 tournament and remains one of the leading South West names in the data.

Lindsay Constitutional Club is tenth at 1.250 and continues to feature prominently among the Welsh venues.

North Star Club sits just outside this Top 12 with a best of 1.241.

Bretforton is also back amongst the leaders at 1.248.

Not every second event has matched the opening score. Sartan, for example, followed 1.265 with 1.184, while Lindsay followed 1.250 with 1.198 and North Star followed 1.241 with 1.171.

That isn't necessarily a negative.

Tournament fields fluctuate.

In fact, that's precisely why following these figures over the entire Vault series should become increasingly useful.

Eventually we'll be able to separate venues capable of producing an occasional exceptional field from those that are relentlessly difficult week after week.

A Few New Names to Watch

There are some other interesting additions.

The Brookside in Syston has now reached 1.278, although its previous scores were considerably lower.

The Monty Club in Newtown has climbed to 1.256.

Pot Black in Shanklin has reached 1.252.

And Dorchester Trinity Club has improved from 1.203 to 1.248.

We're therefore beginning to get movement rather than simply seeing the same opening-night table repeated.

That's what I wanted from these updates.

WADC Vault 3.0: Wales Still Leads, But England Is Getting Closer

I'm also following the WADC Vaults separately.

The first time I looked at WADC Vault 3.0, the story was unmistakable.

South Wales dominated the top of the Tournament Strength table.

A week later, England has started to make an impression.

But it hasn't displaced Wales yet.

As with the main Vault 19 table, I've included every venue only once below, using its highest Tournament Strength.

WADC Vault 3.0: Strongest Venues So Far

Rank	Venue	Highest Tournament Strength	Players
1	The 9 Darter, Port Talbot	0.997	5
2	Briton Ferry Workies, Briton Ferry	0.989	6
3	Arrows Darts Venue #2, Resolven	0.986	8
4	Dereham Cricket Club, Dereham	0.980	5
5	Walton WMC	0.941	4
6	Fordham RBL	0.933	4
7	London GAA, Ruislip	0.933	7
8	Wiltshire Darts House, Swindon	0.929	5
9	Shooters, Leominster	0.916	4
10	The Men of March	0.893	5

Each venue appears once, using its highest WADC Vault 3.0 Tournament Strength recorded so far.

South Wales Still Owns the Top Three

The most obvious conclusion hasn't changed.

The three strongest WADC Vault 3.0 venues in the data are still all in South Wales.

The 9 Darter, Port Talbot — 0.997

Briton Ferry Workies — 0.989

Arrows Darts Venue #2, Resolven — 0.986

But there's now a particularly interesting story within those numbers.

Briton Ferry is getting stronger.

Its first event produced 0.961.

Its next reached 0.989.

That takes Briton Ferry to within just 0.008 of The 9 Darter's leading figure.

And from the previous WADC data I've looked at, Briton Ferry has produced strong Tournament Strength figures before.

It is rapidly becoming one of the WADC venues I want to follow most closely.

England Has Entered the Fight

England's big mover is Dereham Cricket Club.

Dereham initially recorded 0.855.

Its next tournament jumped all the way to 0.980.

That's enough to put it fourth overall and immediately behind the three South Wales leaders.

So has England caught Wales?

Not yet.

But the gap is considerably less comfortable than it looked in my first update.

Walton WMC is also showing some consistency, recording 0.941 and 0.923.

Fordham has reached 0.933, London GAA has also recorded 0.933, while Wiltshire Darts House has reached 0.929.

England therefore has considerably more representation towards the top than it did when I first looked.

One Tournament Tells Us Something – Repetition Tells Us More

That's probably the biggest lesson from this update.

The highest score is interesting.

What happens next is more interesting.

Pinches producing 1.350 caught my attention.

Pinches following it with 1.340 tells me considerably more.

Briton Ferry producing 0.961 was a strong start.

Following it with 0.989 changes the picture again.

Bagley moving from 1.238 to 1.280 is another example.

Then there are venues moving in the opposite direction or producing much more variable fields.

None of that is a problem. It's exactly what I'd expect.

As the sample grows, Tournament Strength should start showing which venues are consistently attracting strong fields rather than simply producing one exceptional night.

So, Where Are We Now?

After the first couple of weeks of Vault 19, Pinches Cue Club remains the benchmark.

Its best score of 1.350 still leads the entire field, but the really impressive part is the 1.340 that followed.

Faringdon has come closest with 1.329, although its eight-player field needs to be kept in context.

Tipton's 1.297 from 28 players is particularly interesting, while Bagley has strengthened from one event to the next.

And the familiar names haven't gone away. Sartan, Lindsay, Bretforton and North Star remain around the stronger end of the data.

In WADC Vault 3.0, Wales still holds the advantage.

Port Talbot, Briton Ferry and Resolven occupy the first three positions.

But Dereham has given England a genuine challenger at 0.980, and several other English venues are beginning to gather behind it.

It's still early.

But we're now moving beyond simply asking:

Who had the strongest tournament?

The much more interesting question is beginning to become:

Where are the strongest tournaments happening again and again?

I'll keep tracking it throughout Vault 19.

ADC Darts Vault 19 Week 1

 Vault 19 is underway, and although it is far too early to decide which will ultimately be the toughest venues of the new series, the opening tournaments have already given me plenty to look at.

The headline comes from Pinches Cue Club in Norwich, which has recorded a Tournament Strength score of 1.350 — the highest figure in my Vault 19 data through Saturday 12 September.

Behind Pinches, there are some very familiar names.

Sartan Club has started strongly again and currently leads the South West, while Lindsay Constitutional Club remains the early Welsh benchmark. North Star has also opened Vault 19 above its previous series level.

I've also now found the WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments.

With my interest in the women's game and the amount of women's darts I already cover on Q4QS, I think it is important that I follow those events alongside the main Vault series.

And the opening WADC figures have produced a story of their own, with South Wales occupying the top three positions so far.

This is therefore my first Tournament Strength snapshot of the new Vault series, covering tournaments in the database up to and including Saturday 12 September.

What Is Tournament Strength?

Tournament Strength isn't simply based on the winner of an event or the highest average recorded on the night.

The Q4QS Tournament Strength measure is designed to look at the overall strength of the field.

That distinction is important.

A tournament containing one outstanding player and a relatively weak field is different from one where strong players are waiting in almost every part of the draw.

Over time, Tournament Strength should therefore help identify the venues where consistently difficult fields are turning up.

One event gives us a snapshot.

Several events begin to establish a pattern.

That is why the Vault 18 figures become particularly useful as Vault 19 gets underway.

Vault 19 – The Early Leaders

These are the strongest Vault 19 tournaments in my data through Saturday 12 September:

Rank	Venue	Tournament Strength	Top-20 Avg
1	Pinches Cue Club, Norwich	1.350	72.50
2	Sartan Club	1.265	68.25
3	Lindsay Constitutional Club	1.250	67.48
4	Bretforton Sports Club	1.248	67.41
5	North Star Club	1.241	67.05
6	Bagley Sports & Social Club	1.238	66.89
7	United Services Club	1.226	66.29
8	Hethersett Social Club	1.224	66.20
9	Stratford Social Club	1.218	65.89
10	Wiltshire Darts House	1.218	65.88
11	Pilcs Sports & Social Club	1.217	65.86
12	Dorchester Trinity Club	1.203	65.16

Pinches Sets the Benchmark

There is no getting away from the standout number in that table.

1.350 — Pinches Cue Club.

There is a sizeable gap between Pinches and Sartan in second at 1.265, while the Top-20 figure of 72.50 also stands well clear of the other early leaders.

I am deliberately not calling Pinches the toughest venue in Vault 19.

We simply don't have enough evidence for that yet.

What I can say is that no Vault 19 tournament in my data through Saturday 12 September has produced a stronger Tournament Strength figure.

Now Pinches has to sustain it.

One exceptional field can produce a huge score. If Pinches continues appearing near the top after five, six or seven tournaments, then we will have evidence of something much more significant.

For now, though, everybody else has a benchmark to chase.

Sartan Still Leads the South West

Closer to home, the strongest opening figure belongs to a venue that featured heavily in my Vault 18 analysis.

Sartan Club is currently the strongest South West venue in Vault 19 at 1.265.

Its Vault 18 Tournament Strength level was around 1.23, so the opening Vault 19 figure is actually higher.

It is far too early to say that Sartan has definitely become stronger. We are comparing one new-series tournament against a much bigger Vault 18 sample.

But it is certainly an encouraging start.

Sartan established its credentials during Vault 18 and has immediately returned with another very strong field.

For now at least, Sartan remains the South West benchmark.

Lindsay Remains No.1 in Wales

There is an equally interesting story in Wales.

Lindsay Constitutional Club has opened Vault 19 at 1.250, putting it third overall in this early table and first among the Welsh venues.

What stands out here isn't improvement.

It's consistency.

Lindsay's Vault 18 level was approximately 1.254.

Vault 18: 1.254.

Vault 19 opening figure: 1.250.

That is almost identical.

A single enormous Tournament Strength score will always catch the eye, but repeatedly attracting strong fields is arguably more interesting.

Lindsay is beginning to provide evidence of exactly that.

North Star Has Started Stronger

North Star Club is another established venue worth watching.

Its opening Vault 19 figure of 1.241 compares with approximately 1.209 during Vault 18.

That is an early increase of around 0.03.

Again, I wouldn't call it a confirmed improvement after one tournament.

But North Star already had a strong Vault 18 baseline, so beginning Vault 19 above that level is significant enough to monitor.

If it is still around 1.24 after several events, then we can start talking about a genuine increase in the strength of its regular field.

Bretforton Joins the Leading Group

The familiar venues shouldn't completely dominate the story.

Bretforton Sports Club has opened with an impressive 1.248, putting it fourth overall and only fractionally behind Lindsay.

Bagley Sports & Social Club is also right amongst the leading group at 1.238.

This is one of the reasons I enjoy looking at Tournament Strength.

The winner of an event naturally receives most of the attention.

This measure gives me another way of finding venues where the difficulty of simply getting through the tournament deserves recognition.

Bretforton has certainly put itself on that list after week one.

WADC Vault 3.0 – South Wales Sets the Early Pace

I've also now added the WADC Vault 3.0 events to the tournaments I am following.

I think that matters.

Women's darts is something I have a particular interest in, and as Q4QS coverage continues to expand I don't want the WADC Vaults to become an afterthought.

I will keep the WADC figures separate from the main Vault 19 table so that we can follow the development of that circuit properly.

And the first set of numbers has produced a very clear regional story.

Leading WADC Vault 3.0 Tournament Strength

Rank	Venue	Tournament Strength
1	The 9 Darter, Port Talbot	0.997
2	Arrows Darts Venue #2, Resolven	0.986
3	Briton Ferry Workies	0.961
4	Walton WMC	0.941
5	London GAA, Ruislip	0.933
6	Shooters, Leominster	0.916

The first thing that stands out is obvious.

The top three are all in South Wales.

The 9 Darter in Port Talbot leads the way with 0.997, followed closely by Arrows Darts Venue #2 in Resolven at 0.986.

Briton Ferry Workies completes the top three at 0.961.

That gives South Wales an impressive early grip on the WADC Vault 3.0 Tournament Strength standings.

Briton Ferry Has Previous Form

Briton Ferry is particularly interesting because I now have historical WADC data to compare against.

During WADC Vault 2.0, an event at Briton Ferry produced a Tournament Strength figure of 1.123.

That means its appearance towards the top of the early Vault 3.0 standings isn't simply an isolated strong tournament at a completely unknown venue.

There is previous evidence of strong women's fields there.

As I add more WADC results, this is exactly the sort of thing I want to explore.

Which venues repeatedly attract the strongest women's fields?

Which areas have the greatest depth?

And do the same venues remain difficult from one Vault series to the next?

After the opening tournaments, South Wales has certainly given me somewhere to start.

Two Rankings That Should Become More Interesting Every Week

The important caveat with everything in this article is the date.

These figures only include tournaments in my data up to and including Saturday 12 September.

They are not final Vault 19 or WADC Vault 3.0 venue rankings.

They're the starting point.

Pinches has produced the standout Vault 19 field at 1.350.

Sartan remains the early South West leader and has started above its Vault 18 level.

Lindsay remains No.1 in Wales and has produced almost exactly the same strength figure as it did during Vault 18.

North Star has also started higher.

And in the WADC Vaults, The 9 Darter, Arrows Resolven and Briton Ferry have given South Wales a clean sweep of the opening top three.

Now I want to see what happens when those venues have three tournaments behind them.

Then five.

Then seven.

One huge score can tell us where an exceptional tournament took place.

Doing it repeatedly tells us where the toughest venues really are.

For now, though, the first Vault 19 target has been set:

1.350 — Pinches Cue Club, Norwich.

And in WADC Vault 3.0:

0.997 — The 9 Darter, Port Talbot.

I'll be watching both.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: 66 Tournaments, Palmer Hits 107.36 & South West Winners – 9 September 2026

Another huge Wednesday as 66 tournaments join Q4QS

Wednesday delivered another enormous night of grassroots darts, with 66 tournaments added to the Q4QS database from events around the country.

For the South West, there were winners stretching from Bristol and Evesham through to Stonehouse, Barnstaple and Bodmin, while several players produced performances well into three figures.

One of the standout combinations of scoring and results came at the Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, where Ryan Palmer hit a 107.36 average and went on to win the tournament.

Palmer takes the honours at the Sartan

Ryan Palmer came through a strong Vault 19.0 field at the Sartan Club, beating Zach Quinn 3–2 in the final.

Palmer had earlier produced a superb 107.36 average against Luke Harding, while Quinn showed plenty of quality himself with a 97.26. Shay Goff reached 93.94 and Geoff James 91.09.

Palmer and Quinn both finished the evening with seven victories, with Steve Boundy collecting six.

Coombes hits 107.36 as Vernall wins Evesham

There was another 107.36 in the region at the Bengeworth Club in Evesham, this time from Richard Coombes against Andy Hammond.

The tournament itself belonged to Shaun Vernall, who produced an excellent night of scoring on the way to eight victories.

Vernall averaged 96.97 against Danny Lauby and 92.02 against Hammond before recording 91.28 in a 3–2 final victory over Pete Hughes. Hughes finished with seven wins, while Coombes collected six.

Nankervis fires 107.36 in St Austell

Jack Nankervis added another South West 107.36 at The Pitch Sports Bar in St Austell — and this one came as part of a tournament-winning night.

Nankervis recorded the figure in a 2–0 victory over Neil Dudbridge before later beating Dave Hampton 3–0 in the final, averaging 92.02 in the title decider.

Nankervis and Hampton both finished with six victories.

Kay wins in Bodmin as Symons Jnr breaks 100

Bodmin produced another of Wednesday's strongest South West events.

Jamie Kay took the Vault 19.0 title at Bodmin Band & Social Club, beating James Chudleigh 3–0 in the final and recording a 95.94 average in the process.

Kay also hit another 95.94 during the tournament and finished with eight victories, but the night's biggest figure belonged to Logan Symons Jnr, who averaged 103.66 against Chris Gill.

Chudleigh contributed a 93.47 and finished the night with seven victories.

Steed takes Barnstaple title

At Barnstaple Town FC, Andy Steed completed an eight-win night by beating Nigel Gullon 3–0 in the final.

Steed saved his best recorded performance for the title match, averaging 88.41, while Gullon had earlier reached 85.89 and finished the tournament with six victories.

McCready wins eight in Leominster

Alec McCready was the winner at Shooters Bar in Leominster after another consistent night.

McCready beat Chris Hurds 3–2 in the final, finished with eight victories and topped the tournament averages with a 92.02.

Connor Millin reached 88.41, while Hurds collected six wins on the way to the final.

Cantillion takes Stonehouse honours

The Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse also produced a local winner, with Alex Cantillion beating Josh Lewis 3–1 in the final.

Cantillion finished with six victories and also produced the tournament's highest recorded average, an 88.93 against Paul Meyer.

Lewis reached 84.78 and collected five wins, with Andy Sim also finishing on five.

Huge averages around the country

Beyond the South West, there was some excellent scoring.

Joe Croft produced a superb 115.62 at Abbots Langley on his way to winning the tournament, while Edward Manley, Phil Johnson-Hale and Jake B-Smith were among several players to record 107.36 averages.

There were also ton-plus performances from Chas Barstow and Jake Eichen during another exceptionally busy Vault programme.

Wednesday's South West picture

The six names featured on today's Q4QS graphic give a good indication of the geographical spread of the night: Ryan Palmer, Shaun Vernall, Jamie Kay, Alec McCready, Andy Steed and Alex Cantillion all collected titles.

Perhaps the biggest story, though, was the scoring. Palmer and Richard Coombes both produced 107.36 averages, Jack Nankervis matched that figure in Cornwall and Logan Symons Jnr broke the 100 barrier in Bodmin.

With another 66 tournaments now incorporated, Wednesday has added another substantial block of matches to the Q4QS rankings, player records, venue statistics and form data.

Yesterday's Darts Results South and South West – 1 August 2026

 

Another busy Saturday on the grassroots darts circuit saw 30 tournaments added to the Q4QS database, with quality action spread across the Midlands, Wales and Southern England. From major weekend opens to Vault events and local competitions, there was plenty to catch the eye.

The headline performance came from Ashton Brown, who lifted the Sartan Club £300 Summer Open after defeating John Brown 5–3 in the final. Brown was outstanding throughout the day, producing a superb 107.36 average and several of the tournament's best displays.

Over in Shrewsbury, Paul Rowley enjoyed an excellent day at Vault 18.0 – Inn On The Green, defeating Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final. Rowley also fired a 107.36 average, underlining the quality of his victory.

At the Bostin Darts Champion of Champions, Dan Nicholls continued his impressive form by edging Grant Jackson 3–2 in the final. Nicholls produced another 107.36 average during the event and was once again among the standout performers of the day.

Wales also produced an excellent standard, with Edward Manley overcoming Timothy Jones 3–2 in the final at Vault 18.0 – The 9 Darter, Port Talbot. Jones fired the highest genuine competitive average of the day at 111.33, while Manley answered with a superb 103.66 average on his way to the title.

At Hangar 61's Saturday Night Round Robin, Matt Baynham defeated Cameron Oram 3–1 in the final after an excellent evening's work. Baynham recorded the event's highest average of 79.11 and shared the most wins on the night with seven, making him a worthy addition to the day's standout performers.

Elsewhere, Richard Smith claimed victory at the Deers Leap Open, while Jay Woodhouse lifted the Wych Elm Vault title with a convincing 3–0 final victory. Stewart Wilde also came through a high-quality Cue Corner Grandslam, defeating Shaun Vernall in a closely contested final.

With August now underway, the race for places in the Q4QS rankings continues to gather momentum, and another busy programme of events promises plenty more movement over the coming weeks.

Yesterday's Results – Wednesday 8 July

 

Wednesday evening saw another busy night of grassroots darts across the South West, with ADC Vault 18 events producing plenty of quality performances and several familiar names adding another title to their growing collections.

At The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth, Mervyn Adams produced one of his best performances of recent weeks, edging past Ellis Radford 3-2 in an entertaining final. Radford continued his impressive run of form, while Ryan Palmer, Darren Davies and Connor Davies were all among the players reaching the latter stages. Adrian Wood also fired the highest average of the evening with an excellent 103.66.

Over at Hangar61, Patchway, John Brown enjoyed a superb evening, defeating Cori Wiltshire in the final and producing one of the performances of the night with a magnificent 104.86 average. Robbie Long also impressed during another competitive Bristol event.

There was another strong Gloucestershire event at Magpies Social Club, Stonehouse, where Joshua Lewis lifted the title after defeating Mitch McCarthy in the final. Lewis also produced a 100.20 average during his run and Shaun Vernall once again featured among the strongest performers.

Further south, Andy Steed claimed another ADC Vault title in Exeter, while Henry Cooper continued his excellent season with victory at Stalbridge RBL after overcoming Nigel Edwards in the final. Both players continue to strengthen their credentials as two of the South West's most consistent performers.

Elsewhere, Danny Humphries won in Salisbury, Tom Crocker lifted the title in Christchurch, Kian Gover came out on top in Ilfracombe and Dave Fisher won the Pawlett Pavilion Grand Prix in Somerset after another competitive night of local darts.

The overall standard was once again exceptionally high, with several players breaking the 100-average barrier across the country, while South West events continued to produce competitive fields and plenty of quality performances.

South West Winners

• 🏆 Mervyn Adams – Sartan Club, Bishopsworth
• 🏆 John Brown – Hangar61, Patchway
• 🏆 Joshua Lewis – Stonehouse
• 🏆 Andy Steed – Exeter
• 🏆 Henry Cooper – Stalbridge
• 🏆 Danny Humphries – Salisbury
• 🏆 Tom Crocker – Christchurch
• 🏆 Kian Gover – Ilfracombe

South And South West Results Round-Up – 24 June 2026

 

Another busy Wednesday evening saw more than twenty grassroots tournaments imported into the Q4QS database, with several strong performances across Bristol and the wider South West.

Ryan Palmer Takes Sartan Club Honours

The standout local event came at the Sartan Club, where another competitive ADC Sanctioned Round Robin attracted a high-quality field.

Ryan Palmer produced an excellent display throughout the evening before defeating Ellis Radford 4-0 in the final to lift the title.

The event was packed with quality, with Garry Harding recording the two highest averages of the tournament (88.41 and 85.50), while Ellis Radford fired an 85.08 average during his run to the final.

Mervyn Adams topped the win charts with seven victories, while Garry Harding also recorded seven wins before narrowly missing out on the latter stages.

It was another reminder of the strength in depth currently on show at the Sartan Club.

Jenson White Continues Fine Form

At DartAsylum HQ, Jenson White claimed the Wednesday Night Under 55 title after defeating Dexter Cornes 2-0 in the final.

White finished with eight victories from the evening and produced the highest average of the event at 73.32.

Freddie Smith also enjoyed another encouraging night, while Tom White and Tommy Llewellin both made deep runs.

Lee Andrews Wins At Magpies

Magpies Social Club hosted another competitive Vault Break Round Robin.

Lee Andrews emerged as champion after defeating Cori Wiltshire 5-0 in the final.

Paul Meyer impressed throughout the evening, producing one of the standout averages of the event with 85.08, while Joseph Meason continued his consistent run of performances by reaching the latter stages once again.

Other Notable Results

Grant Jackson lifted the title at the Bostin Darts Round Robin after defeating Michael Powell 3-1 in the final.

Paul Orchard claimed victory in the Beecroft Inbetweener, while David Broome continued his good form by winning the Top Tee Golf Vault event.

Outside the South West, George Cressey produced the performance of the day, averaging a superb 103.07 during his victory at Downside Sports & Social Club.

Standout Performances

🏆 Jenson White – DartAsylum Under 55 Champion

🏆 Lee Andrews – Magpies Champion

🏆 Grant Jackson – Bostin Darts Champion

🔥 Garry Harding – 88.41 Average

🔥 Paul Meyer – 85.08 Average

🔥 Jenson White – Event Winner with eight victories

Grassroots darts continues to thrive across the South West, with another evening full of competitive fields, impressive averages and plenty of familiar names adding more silverware to their growing collections.
