Yesterday’s Darts Results: Kirk Shepherd Hits 115.62 as 48 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 3 October 2026

Saturday brought another 48 tournaments into the Q4QS database, and once again there was far more to the day than simply looking at who won each event.

The headline average came from Kirk Shepherd, who fired a superb 115.62 at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington. David Mayle and Johnny Haines both reached 111.33, while there were 103.66 averages from Richard German, Dave Burrows and Stephen Cake.

There was plenty happening closer to the usual Q4QS area too. Danny Humphries won at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, Stephen Cake completed an excellent night with the title in Neath, and Johnny Haines produced another big set of numbers at Wiltshire Darts House.

There was also a substantial Junior Volts programme and, importantly, six WADC Vaults, as well as the Shrewsbury Ladies Open.

Shepherd hits 115.62 – but Welding takes the title

The biggest average I'm picking out from Saturday came at the Hoop and Mallet in Warrington.

Kirk Shepherd produced a tremendous 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Maciej Suchy. It wasn't his only big performance either, with Shepherd also recording 100.20, 93.94 and 91.17 during his run.

But he didn't win the tournament.

That honour went to James Welding, who beat Shepherd 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Welding averaged 93.94 earlier in the event, and once again we have a good example of why these reports shouldn't simply be a list of the day's biggest averages. Shepherd produced the headline number; Welding took home the title.

Two 111.33 averages

There were two more huge performances on Saturday.

At Dave's Darts Competition for Breast Cancer Now, David Mayle averaged 111.33 and backed that up with a 101.79.

Richard German also reached 103.66, while eventual winner Phil Johnson-Hale joined the ton-plus group with a 100.20.

Johnson-Hale beat Mark Lynn 6–3 in the final to take the competition.

Meanwhile at Wiltshire Darts House, Johnny Haines produced another exceptional set of numbers.

Haines hit 111.33, followed it with 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35 and collected eight wins.

Yet again, the man producing the huge averages didn't take the title.

Scott Mc beat Haines 4–3 before going on to defeat Chris Rose 5–0 in the final. Scott also recorded a 95.01 against Haines.

That's some serious depth of performance from one tournament.

Stephen Cake combines 103.66 with the Neath title

One of Saturday's best complete tournament performances came in Wales.

At Shooter's SportsBar in Neath, Stephen Cake hit 103.66, as well as 93.94, 91.09 and 85.99.

More importantly, he finished the night with eight victories and beat Craig Blake 3–0 in the final, averaging 93.94.

Bobby Short also reached 93.94 during a six-win night.

Big average, consistency and the tournament win – Cake ticked pretty much every box.

Dave Burrows hits 103.66 – David Evans wins Farnworth

There was another 103.66 at the Royal Sports Lounge in Farnworth, this time from Dave Burrows.

Burrows finished with six wins, but the tournament belonged to David Evans.

Evans reached 98.02 and 91.09 before beating Steve Coote 3–1 in the final, where he averaged 89.56.

Evans finished with seven victories to complete a strong tournament.

Danny Humphries wins at Stratford Social Club

There was another result to add to the growing Q4QS history at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Danny Humphries came through the Darts Mayhem event, beating Dave Moule 2–1 in the final.

Humphries also produced the tournament's best average of 96.97, added a 91.09 and finished with seven wins.

Dave Moule also collected seven victories, while Lee Evans won five matches and recorded averages of 91.09 and 88.41.

Another busy event at a venue that is appearing increasingly regularly in the Q4QS data.

Paul Rowley impresses in Shrewsbury

Paul Rowley put together one of the strongest winning performances of the day at the Inn On The Green in Shrewsbury.

Rowley beat Jake B-Smith 3–1 in the final with a 99.00 average, while B-Smith averaged 96.20.

Rowley also recorded 91.29 and 91.09 on his way to eight victories.

That's a particularly strong set of numbers to accompany a tournament win.

Paul Hogan wins at Burghfield

At Burghfield Community Sports Association near Reading, Paul Hogan enjoyed an excellent tournament.

Hogan recorded 93.94, 92.02 and 83.50, finished with eight wins and beat Mark Tomlin 3–0 in the final.

Tomlin had seven victories himself and twice reached 88.41.

Steve Haggerty makes it eight wins

At Wych Elm in Burntwood, Steve Haggerty produced another very complete performance.

Haggerty hit 98.02, 93.94, 88.41 and 86.48 during the event before beating Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris 3–0 in the final.

Eight matches, eight wins and some very solid numbers alongside them.

John Nelson dominates at Southend

John Nelson was another player who combined the biggest averages at his venue with the tournament victory.

At the Len Forge Centre in Southend, Nelson recorded 96.97, 93.94 and 91.09.

He then beat Craig Vickers 3–0 in the final and finished with seven wins.

Vickers also won seven matches on his route to the final.

Junior Volts produce another huge batch of results

Saturday was another busy day for the Junior Volts Series, with tournaments spread across the country.

Charlie Lowin won at Blackheath, Prem Ahluwalia at Bushey, Nathan Ward-Wilkinson at Clacton, Logan Smith at Gamlingay and Rhodri Phillips at Llandysul.

Elsewhere, Callum Kerrigan won in Lincoln, Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris at Lichfield, Harland Newbegin at Grimsby and Finley Rix at Norwich.

There were some good numbers among the juniors too. Nathan Ward-Wilkinson and Cayden Jones both reached 81.24, while Jack Turner and Charlie Lowin hit 79.11.

At the Shrewsbury Youth Under-18 Open, Sam Morris produced an 87.35 and went on to win the competition, beating Callum Robinson 4–1 in the final.

It's another sizeable block of junior results going into the database.

Seven women's tournaments added to Q4QS

There was plenty of women's darts on Saturday as well, with six WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments plus the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open.

At the WADC events, Pat Moody won at Great Float Social Club in Wallasey, while Joanne Oldershaw produced an excellent all-round performance in Newark. Oldershaw averaged 62.63 and then 61.03 in her 3–1 final victory over Kelly Stevens.

Danielle Evans won at The Gamull Pub in Ribbleton, finishing with seven victories and occupying the top four positions among the event's recorded averages.

Michelle Bull won at The Glebe in Stevenage, while Dannie Hughes took the Cinderford title after beating Vicky Fairbrother 3–1. Fairbrother produced the best WADC average of these six events with 66.80.

At the Royal Oak in Rhyl, Jackie Brighton beat Trisha Harley 3–0 in the final and averaged 61.77. She also recorded two 60.12 averages.

Away from the Vaults, Sue Lane won the Shrewsbury Ladies Darts Open, beating Emma Tapp 3–2 in the final. Tapp produced the competition's highest average of 64.41.

That's seven women's competitions from one Saturday feeding more results into Q4QS.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Kirk Shepherd – 115.62, Warrington
The biggest legitimate average I'm picking out from Saturday, backed up with another 100.20.

2. David Mayle – 111.33, Breast Cancer Now competition
Mayle also hit 101.79, making this far more than a one-match performance.

3. Johnny Haines – 111.33, Wiltshire Darts House
Another huge day from Haines: 111.33, 103.66, 95.66 and 95.35.

4. Stephen Cake – 103.66, Neath
Cake gets the nod because he combined his big average with eight wins and the tournament title.

5. Paul Rowley – 99.00, Shrewsbury
There were higher individual averages elsewhere, but a 99.00 in the final to win the tournament, backed by 91.29 and 91.09, makes this one of my performances of the day.

Another 48 tournaments into Q4QS

Another 48 tournaments are now part of the Q4QS database.

The 115.62 from Kirk Shepherd grabs the headline, but Saturday again showed why there is so much more to these results than one leaderboard of averages.

James Welding beat the player who produced that 115.62. Scott Mc won at Wiltshire despite Johnny Haines throwing 111.33 and 103.66. Stephen Cake combined big numbers with the title in Neath, while Danny Humphries added another Salisbury victory to the records.

Add another sizeable Junior Volts programme and seven women's competitions, and there was plenty to take from Saturday.

And all of it now adds another layer to the rankings, player histories, venue records, head-to-heads and form behind Q4QS.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Jack Johnson Hits 125.25 as 61 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 30 September 2026

Wednesday produced another substantial night for Q4QS, with 61 tournaments added to the database and some exceptional averages appearing from one end of the country to the other.

The headline number was an enormous 125.25 from Jack Johnson in Tonbridge, but he was far from alone. Carl Wilson hit 115.62, Johnny Haines 111.55, Adrian Wood 111.33 and Roger Crook 108.62.

Closer to the usual Q4QS heartland there were wins for Ryan Palmer at Sartan, Kieran Smith at Stonehouse, Darren Herbert in Chard, James Chudleigh at Bodmin and Matt Lambert at Barnstaple.

And the women's game was busy again, with eight WADC Vaults included in Wednesday's results.

Jack Johnson hits a huge 125.25

The biggest number of the day came at the 6 and 1 Club in Tonbridge, where Jack Johnson produced a remarkable 125.25 average in a 2–0 victory over Robert Barton.

Johnson wasn't simply responsible for the biggest average either. He went on to win the tournament, beating George Whyte 3–1 in the final, and also recorded 99.95 during the knockout stages.

He finished with seven wins on the night.

A 125.25 is an enormous number in any company and comfortably headed Wednesday's Q4QS averages.

Carl Wilson's remarkable week continues

Carl Wilson seems determined to appear in Yesterday's Results every day at the moment.

After winning Monday's PDC World Championship qualifier and following it with another tournament victory on Tuesday, Wilson was back in action at Crowborough Social Club on Wednesday.

And he won again.

This time he produced a huge 115.62, alongside 91.09, 90.18 and 86.71, before beating Vincent Smart 3–0 in the final.

That's three tournament wins on three consecutive days, including the World Championship qualifier in the middle of them.

Didcot produces another cracker

The Vault at GWRSA Club in Didcot produced another very strong night.

Johnny Haines hit 111.55, while Roger Crook averaged 108.62 when the pair met earlier in the competition.

They eventually met again in the final, where Haines beat Crook 3–2, averaging 95.72.

Jayden Jones also joined the three-figure club with a 100.20.

That's Haines following Tuesday's 115.62 in Faringdon with another average above 110 just 24 hours later.

Adrian Wood hits 111.33 – Ryan Palmer wins at Sartan

There was another big number at one of the regular Q4QS venues, The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth.

Adrian Wood averaged a superb 111.33 in a 2–0 victory over Scott James Anstey.

But the tournament belonged to Ryan Palmer.

Palmer produced averages of 91.09, 87.84 and 87.64 during the night before beating Owen Smith 3–2 in the final.

He finished with eight wins, with Owen Smith and Shay Goff both recording five.

That's exactly the sort of night where the headline average and the tournament story belong to two different players.

Kieran Smith dominates at Stonehouse

At Magpies Social Club in Stonehouse, Kieran Smith put together one of the more complete performances of the night.

Smith averaged 93.71 in his 3–1 final victory over Josh Lewis, having already recorded a 91.09 earlier in the competition.

He finished with seven wins, with Lewis and Alex Cantillion recording six apiece.

Bodmin produces more strong numbers

At Bodmin Band & Social Club, James Chudleigh took the title with a 3–1 final victory over Leo Strick.

Chudleigh averaged 85.54 in the final, but the biggest number of the tournament came from Jamie Kay, who hit 96.97.

Logan Symons jnr also had a strong night, reaching 91.09, 85.90 and 85.32.

Chudleigh finished with eight wins to take the tournament.

Andy Steed wins again

Andy Steed has been appearing regularly in these reports and Wednesday brought another tournament victory.

At Break N Dish in Street, Steed beat Dean Baker 3–0 in the final.

His best average was 92.70, while he also recorded 89.64 and 85.08.

Steven Rees reached 90.28 and 83.50 during another competitive night in Somerset.

Darren Herbert wins in Chard

At The Choughs Hotel in Chard, Darren Herbert took the title after beating Kieran Spurdle 3–2 in the final.

Herbert produced the tournament's best average with 90.18 and finished with six wins.

Spurdle had five wins and pushed him all the way in the decider.

Matt Lambert takes Barnstaple title

At Barnstaple Football Club, Matt Lambert beat Sam Chance 3–1 in the final.

Lambert finished with seven wins and recorded a best of 77.08.

The highest average of the tournament belonged to Neil Ridd at 81.24, while Chance also reached 77.08.

More big numbers around the country

There were far too many strong performances on Wednesday to fit them all into the headline positions.

Dewi Beynon hit 107.36 at Bedlinog, where Stephen Cake eventually took the title and produced 103.33 himself.

Jason Collins reached 107.36 at Rocket Ronnies in Southampton, although Joey Cole went on to win the tournament.

At Hednesford, Dan Hands averaged 104.86 in the final, with opponent Paul Redfern averaging 103.15.

Kevin Edwards hit 103.66 on his way to winning at Clacton, Ryan Mitchell recorded the same number at Guildford and Robbie Martin produced 103.66 and 100.20 at St Leonards before taking the title.

Andrew Cook hit 100.20 at St Austell, while Tom Baughan reached 100.20 at Bradmoor Farm.

There was strength everywhere you looked.

Tyler Garrett hits 100.20 in the Junior Volts

The juniors deserve another mention after a particularly impressive performance in Pontypool.

At the Junior Volts at Pilcs Sports & Social Club, Tyler Garrett averaged 100.20 in his 3–0 final victory over Joshua Russell.

Garrett also recorded 96.97, 88.41 and 85.08 and finished with eight wins.

That's an outstanding set of numbers at junior level rather than simply one exceptional match.

Elsewhere, Jackson Osborne won at Llantwit Major, Theo Fiddy took the title in Norwich, Taylor Hayward won at Stowmarket and Aaron Rea won at The Kings Pub in Exeter.

Eight WADC winners on Wednesday

There were eight WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments in Wednesday's results, and they deserve their own roundup.

Donna Buckley won at Resolven, beating Grace Holman 3–0 in the final.

Pennie Lewis took the Hampshire event against Bridget McGuire, while Nicky Denham won at Bradmoor Farm in Aylesbury against Gill Clark.

At Duffy's in Pontypridd, Kirsten Casley produced one of the stronger WADC performances of the night, averaging 70.45 in her 3–1 final victory over Celyn Saunders.

There was another 70.45 at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury, where Kacey Ayres went on to beat Kelsey Haigh 3–1 in the final.

Jane Price won at The Bengeworth in Evesham, recording a best of 69.91 before beating Sam Higgins 3–0 in the final.

The other winners were Juliet Findley at The Men of March and Suzanne Price at The Monty Club in Newtown.

Another eight women's competitions going into the database is every bit as important as the headline averages. As these events build up week after week, we'll start getting a much deeper picture of the WADC players and venues too.

Five performances that caught my eye

  1. Jack Johnson – 125.25 — Tonbridge
  2. Carl Wilson – 115.62 — Crowborough
  3. Johnny Haines – 111.55 — Didcot
  4. Adrian Wood – 111.33 — Sartan Club, Bishopsworth
  5. Roger Crook – 108.62 — Didcot

Just outside those five were Dewi Beynon and Jason Collins at 107.36, Dan Hands at 104.86 and several more players above the 100 mark.

61 more tournaments into Q4QS

Another 61 tournaments means another substantial set of results feeding into the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records, form and head-to-head data.

Wednesday had almost everything: huge averages, familiar venues, strong Welsh events, eight WADC tournaments and another junior breaking the 100 barrier.

And while 125.25 from Jack Johnson is an obvious headline, there were stories much deeper into the results as well.

That's what makes going through all 61 tournaments worthwhile.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Johnny Haines Hits 115.62 as 77 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 29 September 2026

Tuesday was a big night for grassroots darts, with 77 tournaments added to Q4QS and some seriously good numbers appearing across the country.

The graphic picked out Liam Trotman's 107.36, Joe Quiney's 98.60 and Andy Steed's 96.65, but digging further into the results uncovered even more.

Johnny Haines hit a huge 115.62 in Faringdon, while Tyler Thorpe and Tony Chapman both reached 107.36. There was also a remarkable final at Syston where James Young averaged 105.46 — and still lost to Steve Haggerty, who averaged 104.86.

And with seven WADC Vaults played on Tuesday, there is plenty from the women's game to include as well.

Johnny Haines hits 115.62 in Faringdon

The biggest average I'm picking out from Tuesday came at the Vault at Faringdon Town Football Club.

Johnny Haines produced a superb 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Otto Hookham.

It wasn't just one big performance either. Haines also recorded 96.97 and 91.09 during the night and finished with seven wins.

However, he didn't take the title.

That went to Ash McKeever, who beat Haines along the way and then defeated him 3–1 in the final.

Another good example of why I like looking beyond simply who won each tournament.

A remarkable final at Syston

One of the matches that really caught my eye came at The Brookside in Syston.

James Young averaged 105.46 in the final.

Normally that would be more than enough to win a grassroots tournament.

Not this time.

Steve Haggerty averaged 104.86 and beat him 3–0.

Haggerty had also produced a 102.00 earlier in the tournament.

A 105.46 losing average against a 104.86 is certainly one of the more unusual finals I've seen appear in the Q4QS results.

Liam Trotman hits 107.36 in Portishead

Closer to Q4QS home territory, there was another huge performance at the Tuesday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts.

Liam Trotman hit 107.36 in a 2–0 victory over Max Maggs and also recorded an 88.41.

Trotman eventually lost 2–1 to Logun Godbeer, who went on to reach the final.

The tournament itself was won by Christopher Staples, who beat Godbeer 2–1 and finished the night with nine wins.

Again, the biggest average didn't belong to the eventual champion.

Joe Quiney produces a big night at Bretforton

There was an excellent performance at Bretforton Sports Club near Evesham, where Joe Quiney won the Vault.

Quiney hit 98.60, followed it with other strong numbers and then averaged 95.94 in a 3–0 final victory over Danny Lauby.

Lauby himself reached 89.33 and 88.41 during the competition.

Quiney and Lauby both accumulated seven wins, but it was Quiney who took the title.

Andy Steed impresses again in Tiverton

Andy Steed continues to appear regularly among the stronger Q4QS performances.

At Elmore Football Club in Tiverton, Steed won the Vault with a 96.65 average in his 3–1 final victory over Dave Fisher.

He also recorded 93.94, 88.41 and 85.89 during the tournament and finished with eight wins.

That's a particularly solid set of numbers rather than simply one standout match.

Carl Wilson follows Monday's success with a 101.59

Carl Wilson had a pretty good couple of days.

After winning Monday's PDC UK & Ireland World Championship qualifier, he was back playing a Vault on Tuesday at East Grinstead Social and Ex Services Club.

Wilson won that as well.

He averaged 101.59 in his 3–1 final victory over Dan Russell, having also produced 96.97 and 92.02 during the tournament.

Not a bad follow-up to Monday.

Some big Welsh numbers

There were several excellent performances in the Welsh Vaults.

At Loughor Workingmens Club in Swansea, Lee Evans averaged 104.46 in the final, beating Kai Clark 3–1. Evans also recorded 96.97 and 90.18.

At Lindsay Constitutional Club, Connor Hopkins hit 101.89 and then averaged 98.42 in his 3–2 final victory over Ryan Davies.

And at Vetz Club in Pontycymer, both finalists broke the 100 barrier.

William Thomas hit 103.66, while eventual winner Mike Huntley also hit 103.66 and added another 100.20 during the night before beating Thomas 3–0 in the final.

That's some serious strength across the Welsh events.

Josh McCarthy breaks 100 in Swindon

Josh McCarthy followed Monday's win at North Star in Calne with another title on Tuesday.

This time it came at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon.

McCarthy averaged 100.20 in the final, beating Rich Griffee 3–0.

He also recorded 93.94 and 92.02 and finished with eight wins.

Two tournament victories on consecutive nights at different venues is a decent couple of days.

Ryan Palmer wins at Widden

At Widden Rugby Club in Gloucester, Ryan Palmer won the Vault with a 3–0 victory over Nigel Vernall.

Palmer finished with seven wins, while Alfie Palmer produced the highest average of the tournament at 85.89.

Andrew Burford reached 79.11, with Ryan Palmer's best listed performance coming in at 76.42.

Ryan Greenslade takes Taunton title

At Darts @ The Lawns, Ryan Greenslade won the Taunton U70 Round Robin Super Series.

Greenslade beat James Wellbelove 4–1 in the final and finished with nine wins.

Ben Hayman produced the highest average of the tournament at 83.50, while Greenslade reached 79.11.

Junior Volts spread across the country

Tuesday was another busy night for the Junior Volts programme.

At Highbridge Social Club, Tai Anderson beat Oliver Reece 3–0 in the final. Bradley Bateman produced the best average there at 70.91.

There were also wins for Rhys Evans at Resolven, Jenson Macey at Gosport, Harvey-Lee Nelson-Harris at Cannock, Charlie Lowin at Halesowen, Finley Holmes-Harker at Skegness, Alfie Mills at Gillingham, Archie Isaacson on the Isle of Wight and Joshua Russell at Ogmore Vale.

There were some impressive numbers among them too.

Tyler Shuck reached 91.09 at Halesowen, while Joshua Russell also hit 91.09 at Ogmore Vale.

Harley Glycos produced a 100.20 in the Calstep Wales Newport results.

WADC: seven tournaments on Tuesday

There were seven WADC Vault 3.0 tournaments in Tuesday's results, so there was plenty of women's darts added to Q4QS.

At Shooters in Leominster, Louise Davies beat Karrina Barnes 3–0 in the final. Clare Bywater produced the highest average of the tournament at 60.85.

At The 9 Darter in Port Talbot, Kirsten Casley beat Celyn Saunders 3–0 and averaged 69.37 in the final.

Lisa McClatchey won at London GAA in Ruislip, beating Maggie Sutton 3–0 and averaging 63.51.

At The Church Wicketts in Telford, Alyssya Petty beat Tamzin Warrillow 3–1 and finished with six wins.

Jenny Levett won at The Empire Club in Lancing, beating Tracey Collins 3–1.

At Trebles Darts in North Walsham, Lynsey Childs beat Gemma Reynolds 3–2 in the final, while Reynolds produced the event's best average of 63.61.

And at Wiltshire Darts House in Swindon, Dani Kearns beat Chris Savvery 3–0. Savvery produced the highest WADC average among the seven events at 75.15, while Kearns reached 69.91.

That's seven more women's tournaments feeding into the Q4QS database, covering a good geographical spread and a range of playing standards.

Five performances that caught my eye

If I leave aside the very short-format Shepperton results, which produced some unusually high averages over tiny samples, these are five performances that stood out to me:

  1. Johnny Haines – 115.62 — Faringdon
  2. Liam Trotman – 107.36 — Portishead
  3. Tony Chapman – 107.36 — King's Lynn
  4. James Young – 105.46 — Syston
  5. Steve Haggerty – 104.86 — Syston

And there are plenty just outside that five: Lee Evans at 104.46, Charlie Little and William Thomas at 103.66, Mike Huntley at 103.66 and 100.20, Connor Hopkins at 101.89 and Carl Wilson at 101.59.

77 tournaments added to Q4QS

Tuesday is becoming one of the most interesting days of the week for the database.

77 tournaments means another substantial batch of matches, averages and player results, ranging from Junior Volts and WADC competitions through to Vaults and local opens.

And Tuesday demonstrated again why Yesterday's Results shouldn't simply be a list of tournament winners.

Johnny Haines hit 115.62 without winning. James Young averaged 105.46 in a final and lost. Liam Trotman hit 107.36 but didn't reach the final.

Those performances are every bit as interesting to me as who lifted the trophy.

That's exactly the sort of thing the growing Q4QS database is allowing me to find.

Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Michael Wiles Hits 111.33 as Boundy, Steed & Martin Win – 14 September 2026

Monday brought another sizeable batch of grassroots darts into Q4QS, with 45 tournaments added to the database.

There were Vault 19 events, WADC Vaults, Junior VOLTS and a selection of other round-robin competitions, with plenty happening across the South and South West alongside the wider national picture.

The performance of the day came from Michael Wiles, who produced a huge 111.33 average at the Len Forge Centre in Southend – and unlike some of the biggest averages we see, he backed it up by going all the way and winning the tournament.

Closer to home, there were titles for Steve Boundy in Minehead, Andy Steed in Paignton, Robbie Martin in Salisbury and Mitchell Leeming in Evesham, while the women's events produced an interesting double-header at Legends Lounge in Plymouth.

Wiles produces the performance of the day

Michael Wiles didn't just throw one exceptional leg or match in Southend.

His 111.33 was followed by averages of 93.94, 93.94, 92.03 and 91.09 among his recorded best performances.

Most importantly, he finished the job.

Wiles beat Craig Vickers 3–1 in the final and finished the tournament with eight victories. It was an impressive combination of peak scoring and consistency and comfortably makes him my standout player from Monday's national results.

Jack Walker fires 107.36 – but Boundy takes Minehead

The highest average from the South West came at The Banckers Draught in Minehead.

Jack Walker hit 107.36, the second-highest individual average anywhere in Monday's 45-tournament report.

But it was Steve Boundy who took the title.

Boundy recorded eight wins and beat David Farmer 3–1 in the final, with his own best recorded average reaching 91.09. Farmer also had a strong night, producing a 93.94 and reaching the final.

That's a good example of why these daily reports are about more than simply listing the highest averages. Walker produced the biggest number in Minehead; Boundy produced the tournament-winning run.

Andy Steed wins in Paignton

There was another South West title at 8 Ball Bar & Sports in Paignton, where Andy Steed beat Finlay Cleave 3–1 in the final.

Cleave actually produced two of the strongest figures of the event, averaging 96.48 and 88.41, while Leigh Bowman topped the night's averages with 96.97.

Steed, though, matched Cleave's seven wins and took the match that mattered most to secure the Vault 19 title.

Robbie Martin leads the way in Salisbury

One of Monday's strongest all-round performances came from Robbie Martin at Stratford Social Club in Salisbury.

Martin hit 96.97 and 91.09, won eight matches and then defeated Martin Grearson 3–0 in the final.

Grearson had an excellent tournament himself, recording 93.94 and 91.09 averages and seven victories, while Ryan Furness reached 88.41.

Martin therefore didn't just win the event – he did it against some very solid opposition and with numbers to back up the result.

Mitchell Leeming wins a competitive Evesham event

The Bengeworth Club in Evesham produced another interesting result.

Mitchell Leeming beat Vince Tipple 3–2 in the final, finishing with six victories.

Tipple produced the highest average of the tournament at 93.94 and also hit 92.02, while Leeming reached 91.76 and 88.99.

Shaun Vernall was another player to feature prominently, with an 89.39 among his results.

It looks like one of those tournaments where the headline average only tells part of the story – Leeming negotiated the field and came away with the title.

A Monday double-header for the women in Plymouth

The WADC results are becoming an increasingly useful addition to the Q4QS database, and Monday gave us an unusual situation at Legends Lounge in Plymouth.

Anna Pearce beat Chrissie Kinnaird 3–2 to win one of the recorded WADC Vault events.

Then, in another WADC Vault at the same venue, Kinnaird reversed the result and beat Pearce 3–1.

Pearce produced the strongest average across those Plymouth women's results at 66.34.

So rather than one player dominating the night, Pearce and Kinnaird effectively shared the honours – one title apiece.

Junior VOLTS produce another Salisbury storyline

There was more happening at Stratford Social Club than the Robbie Martin victory.

The Junior VOLTS event there was won by Jake Bertenshaw, who beat Jacob Stott 3–2 in the final.

However, Jayden Walker produced a particularly impressive sequence of averages for the junior event: 93.94, 85.08, 80.52 and 77.74.

Joshua Stott, Bertenshaw and Jacob Stott all recorded five wins, while Walker finished with four.

A 93.94 at junior level certainly deserves a mention among Monday's standout performances.

CJ Ayres wins at Highbridge

There was another Junior VOLTS title in the South West, with CJ Ayres beating Alfie Coles 3–0 at Highbridge.

Ayres recorded seven victories and produced averages of 77.08, 75.54 and 75.15.

Logun Godbeer actually supplied the highest individual average of the tournament with 80.52, but Ayres put together the strongest overall run and took the title.

Monday's standout averages

The national top end was strong again:

Wiles therefore takes the overall honours, but Jack Walker's 107.36 in Minehead stands out from a South West perspective, while Robbie Martin's combination of a 96.97, eight wins and the Salisbury title was arguably one of the most complete local performances.

And with another 45 tournaments now in the Q4QS database, all of these results can continue feeding into the rankings, player records, venue data, form and the wider picture of grassroots darts.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Stevenson & Ricky King Hit 111.33 as 60 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 13 September 2026

Sunday produced one of the busiest Q4QS results days so far, with 60 tournaments added to the database from events across the country.

And there was plenty of quality among them.

The highest recorded average of the day was a huge Ben Flanagan-McClelland 115.62, but from a South West point of view the headline performance came in Plymouth, where Simon Stevenson combined three ton-plus averages with the Vault 19 title.

There were also Sunday victories for Rory Pearce in Gloucester, Ricky King in Swanage, Sharon McNulty in the WADC Vault at Stroud, and plenty more as the Vault 19 programme produced another packed day of grassroots darts.

Stevenson dominates in Plymouth

It is difficult to have a much better tournament than Simon Stevenson managed at Legends Lounge.

Stevenson produced a brilliant 111.33 average against Ryan Fuller, followed that with 104.86 against Rob May and also recorded 100.20 against Reece Mealin.

Three separate 100+ averages would already make it an outstanding day, but Stevenson completed it by winning the tournament.

He beat Darren Pearce 3–0 in the final and finished with six victories, while Mark Gilbery also impressed with a best of 91.09.

That makes Stevenson one of the standout performers of the entire Sunday programme, rather than simply the winner of another Vault event.

Ricky King produces his own 111.33

Stevenson wasn't alone on 111.33.

At Swanage RBL, Ricky King produced exactly the same figure in a 2–0 victory over Freddie Dean.

King then hit 103.66 against Jordan Cluskey before going on to win the tournament, beating Thomas Watters 3–0 in the final.

King finished with eight victories and also recorded two 88.41 averages during an extremely consistent day.

Ben Flanagan-McClelland tops Sunday's averages

The biggest individual average I recorded on Sunday came at The Cue Club in South Wigston.

Ben Flanagan-McClelland hit 115.62, and backed that up with another ton-plus performance of 100.20.

Interestingly, that still wasn't enough to win the tournament.

The title went to Jesse James Diez, with Liam Lunn finishing runner-up, showing again why looking beyond simply the tournament winner can uncover some of the best performances of the day.

Rory Pearce takes the Gloucester title

Closer to home, Rory Pearce won the Vault 19 event at Tuffley Community Association in Gloucester.

Pearce defeated Joe Bagguley 3–2 in the final and finished with seven victories.

The highest average at Tuffley belonged to Alfie Williams at 88.41, with Martin Taylor recording 85.45 and Bagguley producing 82.67 and 81.71. Pearce's best was 80.26.

It was another useful result from a venue that is becoming increasingly relevant to Q4QS as the Gloucester coverage continues to grow.

Ash Ling combines big average with Clacton title

Another player who managed to combine the numbers with the trophy was Ash Ling.

Ling produced a superb 104.86 at Clacton Sports Bar and added an 88.41 and 81.24 before beating Keith Farthing 3–1 in the final.

Eight wins and the three highest individual averages at the event made it a particularly convincing tournament victory.

More 100+ averages across the Vaults

There was no shortage of big scoring elsewhere.

Steve West hit 107.36 at The Phoenix Club in Waterlooville, although Leo Howard took the title with a 3–1 final victory over West.

Sion Thomas also recorded 107.36 at The Glanyrafon Arms before going on to win the event, beating Scott Grota 3–2 in the final.

At Foots Cray, George Cressey hit 104.86 and Charlie Little produced 103.66, with Little eventually taking the title. Cressey then won the separate Orpington Rugby Club event later in the day, where he produced another 103.66.

Stuart Dutton joined the ton-plus club with a 100.20 at The New Club in Wheatley before taking the title.

WADC Vaults continue to add to the picture

I said when I found the WADC Vault results that I wanted to include them in Q4QS coverage, and Sunday's programme again gives me several women's events to add alongside the open Vaults.

One of the local highlights came at Queen Victoria in Stroud, where Sharon McNulty beat Kelly-Marie Selby 3–1 in the final.

McNulty also recorded the highest average of the event at 56.28 and finished with four wins.

Elsewhere, Rebecca Edwards won at Eastleigh, Kayleigh Brown won at Highways Sports & Social Club in Colchester and Bridget McGuire took the Waterlooville event.

I'm pleased these competitions are now becoming part of the database. The more women's results I can bring into Q4QS, the more complete the picture of the grassroots game becomes.

Sunday’s standout averages

  1. Ben Flanagan-McClelland – 115.62
  2. Simon Stevenson – 111.33
  3. Ricky King – 111.33
  4. Steve West – 107.36
  5. Liam Cook – 107.36
  6. Sion Thomas – 107.36
  7. Ash Ling – 104.86
  8. George Cressey – 104.86
  9. Simon Stevenson – 104.86
  10. Charlie Little – 103.66

For me, though, Stevenson's Plymouth performance is the story of the day. A 111.33 is impressive enough; adding 104.86 and 100.20 and then actually winning the tournament turns it into an exceptional day's work.

With another 60 tournaments now added, Sunday's results will also feed into the Q4QS player records, form, rankings, venue data and tournament-strength calculations as the Vault 19 picture continues to develop.
