He defeated Callum Weaver 3-0 in the final and fired in superb averages of 96.97, 95.94 and 93.94 during an outstanding tournament.

American professional Danny Lauby also featured among the top averages, underlining the strength of the Evesham event.

Bristol & South West's Most Improved Players - A Very Important Ranking

 

Winning tournaments will always grab the headlines, but it isn't the only way to measure progress.

One of my favourite features in the Q4QS rankings is the Improvement Report, which compares a player's last 50 recorded legs against their previous 50 legs. Rather than rewarding a single great night or one tournament victory, it highlights players who are genuinely raising their level over time.

In many ways, I think this tells a bigger story than a simple league table.

Every darts player goes through peaks and troughs. We all have evenings where nothing seems to go right, followed by weeks where everything suddenly clicks. That's completely normal. What matters is how you respond after those difficult spells.

Take Ethan Williams, who currently tops the latest Bristol & South West Improvement Rankings.

His numbers are remarkable. Ethan has increased his average from 47.12 over his previous 50 legs to 65.91 across his latest 50 legs – an improvement of 18.79 points, or almost 40%.

That doesn't necessarily mean Ethan has suddenly become a completely different player overnight. It may simply show someone who has worked through a difficult period, found confidence again, and is now producing the level he is capable of.

That is exactly why I enjoy this report so much.

Behind Ethan are several players who continue to move in the right direction, including Christopher Willcocks, Christopher Staples, Joshua Rees, George Freeman, Natalie Baxter, Benny Watkins and Jamie Davey. Each has shown significant improvement over their most recent performances, proving that consistent development often matters more than one-off results.

Improvement isn't always a straight line

It's important to remember that this isn't a permanent ranking.

Players who appear near the top this month may naturally drop back next month once those improved performances become part of their longer-term average. Equally, players who are currently outside the Top 50 may suddenly climb the list after putting together a few strong tournaments.

That's exactly how improvement works.

Nobody keeps getting better every single week forever. Even the best players experience dips in form. The difference is that they recover.

The players to watch

Rank	Player	Previous 50	Last 50	Improvement	Improve %
1	Ethan Williams	47.12	65.91	+18.79	39.88%
2	Christopher Willcocks	51.47	60.40	+8.93	17.35%
3	Christopher Staples	52.34	61.39	+9.05	17.29%
4	Joshua Rees	43.65	50.64	+6.99	16.01%
5	George Freeman	36.24	41.98	+5.74	15.84%

12	Jenson Swift	43.95	49.77	+5.82	13.24%
13	Markk Valentino	48.13	54.39	+6.26	13.01%
14	Gavyn Griffiths	46.95	53.03	+6.08	12.95%
15	Jac Thomas	53.84	60.50	+6.66	12.37%
16	Kieran Thomas	52.83	59.23	+6.40	12.11%
17	Alfie Milroy	28.89	32.35	+3.46	11.98%
18	Logun Godbeer	59.58	66.42	+6.84	11.48%
19	James Pryer	50.15	55.79	+5.64	11.25%
20	Phil Bisset	53.23	59.21	+5.98	11.23%
21	Arnold Szasz	43.18	47.96	+4.78	11.07%
22	Steven Rees	69.26	76.67	+7.41	10.70%
23	Todd Marfell	55.88	61.80	+5.92	10.59%
24	Pec Parkinson	58.33	64.49	+6.16	10.56%
25	James Taviner	55.44	61.08	+5.64	10.17%
26	Kian Baker	41.01	45.08	+4.07	9.92%
27	Reece Harding	53.69	58.90	+5.21	9.70%
28	Harley Hunt	39.30	43.10	+3.80	9.67%
29	Joel Farrell-Humphreys	52.79	57.87	+5.08	9.62%
30	Edward Manley	70.18	76.91	+6.73	9.59%

For me, one of the most encouraging signs is seeing the same names appear in the Improvement Rankings again and again.

If a player can consistently remain inside the Top 50 Improvers, it usually suggests they are steadily developing their game rather than relying on occasional good nights. Those are often the players who quietly climb the Q4QS rankings over the course of a season.

This report isn't designed to replace the main rankings.

Instead, it complements them by answering a different question:

Who's getting better?

Whether you're chasing your first tournament win or trying to break into the top tier of South West darts, improvement is ultimately what matters.

Keep improving, and the results usually follow.

I'll continue updating the Q4QS Improvement Rankings throughout the season, and it'll be fascinating to see who keeps moving upwards as 2026 progresses.

ADC South West Vault 18 Preview – The Race For The Regional Finals Continues

 

The ADC South West Vault Series heads into Vault 18, with the race for places at the MODUS Super Series South West Regional Finals becoming increasingly competitive.

Every Vault offers valuable ranking points, and with only a limited number of events remaining, players are beginning to position themselves for a place in the Regional Finals, where the winner earns a coveted opportunity to compete on the MODUS Super Series stage.

Recent weeks have demonstrated just how competitive the South West circuit has become.

Henry Cooper produced an outstanding display to win Vault 17, defeating Andy Steed in the final, while Ashton Brown edged Geoff James in a thrilling deciding leg to take the Vault 16 Finals.

Those victories have tightened the race at the top of the standings, but there are still plenty of ranking points available before qualification is decided.

Six To Follow

Rather than simply picking the highest-ranked players, these are six who could significantly strengthen their Regional Finals hopes this week.

Henry Cooper

Fresh from winning Vault 17, confidence couldn't be much higher. Another deep run would further strengthen his position.

Josh McCarthy

One of the strongest scorers in the series. When his scoring clicks he is capable of beating anyone in the field.

Johnny Haines

A hugely experienced campaigner who always seems to produce his best darts in big ADC competitions.

Gareth Griffiths

Reached the latter stages of Vault 17 and continues to knock on the door. Another semi-final or better would be no surprise.

Jamie Kay

Regularly features in the closing stages of Vault events. Consistency keeps him firmly in Regional Finals contention.

Pierce Speechley-Price

One of the emerging names in the series. His semi-final appearance at Vault 17 showed he's more than capable of challenging the established names.

Players Looking To Climb

One of the most interesting aspects of Vault 18 is the number of players who know one strong run could transform their position in the standings.

A quarter-final or semi-final finish could prove just as valuable as lifting the trophy as the race towards the Regional Finals begins to intensify.

With every ranking point becoming increasingly important, expect another fiercely competitive evening of ADC darts.

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

No Pressure, Just Darts - Tonight’s Open Tournament

 It’s an open event tonight, which means anyone can turn up from former tour players and county throwers to improving players like me just trying to keep pushing forward.No average restriction in place. 

There’s something great about nights like this. No pressure  just pure darts. You never quite know who’ll be on the oche next to you or who you might draw, but that’s part of the buzz. I’m not putting any pressure on myself to qualify through the group stage or chase a particular average; I just want to walk away feeling like I threw well and made good decisions.

For me, that’s what these tournaments are about: testing yourself, learning from better players, and enjoying the competitive atmosphere. Every leg against stronger opposition is a chance to grow.

Hopefully I’ll get a few solid scores on the board, settle early, and maybe cause a little upset along the way. Either way, I’ll post an update tomorrow with how it went!
