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

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

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

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

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

Astbury hits 111.33 and takes Dawley title

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

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

Those are three excellent performances in the same competition.

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

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

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

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

Jake B-Smith wins at Shrewsbury and reaches another final

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

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

Rowley also hit 91.80 and twice recorded 88.41.

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

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

Beau Greaves completes PDC Women's Series double

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

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

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

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

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

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

That made it two tournament titles in a single day.

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

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

Carl Batchelor dominates Nigel Birch Memorial Open

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pete Hughes wins at Wych Elm as Craddock hits 107.36

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

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

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

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

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

Herrington recorded seven wins, while Nath Coley collected six.

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

Lleyton Molyneux leads the way in Wallasey

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

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

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

Hancock collected seven wins, while Luke Humphreys recorded six.

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

WADC: Jennifer Taylor wins at Great Float

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

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

Both players finished with four victories.

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

Lizzie Hackett and Victoria Simmonds each collected two victories.

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

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

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

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

Welsh Vault results: Bargoed and Neath

There were two further Vault winners in Wales worth highlighting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Portsmouth Phoenix Saturday Series attracts a big field

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

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

Palmer finished with ten victories, while Williams collected eight.

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

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

Lipscombe also produced 91.09 and 85.89 during his run.

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

More Saturday tournament winners

There were several other performances worth picking out.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Junior darts: Freddie Argyle and three Junior Volts winners

Saturday also produced an encouraging set of junior results.

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

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

Both Argyle and Brown finished with seven victories.

There were also three Junior Volts events.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jones and Solloway both finished with six victories.

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

Saturday's standout performances

Five players particularly caught my eye:

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

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

Another 26 tournaments added to Q4QS

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

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

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

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

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

Yesterday's Darts Results: Four Players Hit 107.36 as Henry Cooper, Steve Boundy and Kevin Mills Win – 9 October 2026

Friday brought another 36 tournaments into the Q4QS database, and although it was a quieter night in terms of tournament numbers, there was certainly no shortage of quality.

Four players shared the highest recorded average of 107.36: Michael Bean, Luke Newport, Kevin Mills and Dan Nicholls.

There were also some excellent tournament-winning performances across the South and South West. Henry Cooper took the title in Taunton, Steve Boundy won at Portishead, Mark Bowles came through in Yeovil and Mills produced an outstanding evening in Cardiff.

Further afield, there were strong performances in Wales, the Midlands and across the Vault circuit.

Four players share Friday's highest average

It's not often that the biggest average of the evening is shared by four different players, but that was the case on Friday.

At the Bullseye Bar in Lichfield, Michael Bean recorded 107.36, although Clayton Edge eventually took the title, defeating Bean in the final.

At the Royal Oak in Rhyl, Luke Newport also reached 107.36, adding another superb 100.20 during his run.

However, Newport didn't take the trophy. That went to Kelson Hughes, who defeated Darren Southall 3–0 in the final.

In Cardiff, Kevin Mills hit 107.36 at Splott Albion Pavilion, while Dan Nicholls matched the figure at Tipton Sports Academy.

Unlike Bean and Newport, both Mills and Nicholls went on to win their respective tournaments.

Four identical headline averages, but four rather different evenings.

Henry Cooper produces a quality display in Taunton

One of the strongest performances closer to home came at Pegasus 68 Club in Taunton.

Henry Cooper recorded 93.34, 88.41, 87.60 and 87.47, an excellent collection of averages across the tournament.

Cooper eventually defeated Paul Gardiner 3–0 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Jayden Scadden also impressed, averaging 90.07 in his match against Cooper, while James Male and Richard Frost each recorded five wins.

For me, this was one of the standout tournament-winning performances of the evening.

Cooper didn't need a single enormous average to catch the eye. He put together several high-quality performances and finished with the title.

Boundy wins again at Portishead

There was another competitive Friday open at Portishead Workmens Darts, with 75 matches recorded.

Steve Boundy came through with nine victories, defeating Darren Clark 3–0 in the final.

Boundy recorded averages of 88.41, 83.50 and 82.65 among his leading performances.

The highest individual average belonged to Liam Trotman, who hit 91.09 against Sarah Goddard.

Trotman finished with six victories, while Christopher Staples and Darren Clark each recorded seven.

It's worth pointing out that this was an open competition offering a prize for the furthest-progressing under-55-average player, rather than an exclusively under-55 tournament.

Another strong result for Boundy, and another busy evening at Portishead.

Bowles takes Yeovil title as Bisset impresses

At Bullets Sports Bar in Yeovil, Mark Bowles defeated Phil Bisset 3–0 to take the Vault title.

Both players finished with five victories, while Jack Davey collected four.

Bisset produced the highest average of the tournament, reaching 88.41 against Ashley Little and adding 77.08 against Jordan Tucker.

Bowles may not have topped the average charts, but he did what mattered in the knockout stages.

Another example of why the daily results are about more than simply listing the highest averages.

Mills combines 107.36 with Cardiff title

At Splott Albion Pavilion in Cardiff, Kevin Mills produced one of Friday's most impressive all-round performances.

Mills averaged 107.36 against Llewelyn Summerhayes, followed by 93.94, 88.44 and 85.55 in other matches.

He eventually defeated Tom Breward 3–2 in the final, finishing with seven victories.

Breward, Edward Manley and Jose Van Angeles each recorded six wins.

There were some very strong individual averages across Friday's competitions, but Mills deserves particular recognition for combining a huge peak performance with the consistency needed to win the event.

Nicholls hits 107.36 and wins at Tipton

Dan Nicholls was another player who managed to combine outstanding scoring with a tournament victory.

At Tipton Sports Academy, Nicholls hit 107.36 against David Harris and added 88.73 and 88.41 elsewhere in the event.

He defeated Jayden Moss 3–2 in the final and finished with eight victories.

Moss collected seven wins, while Mike Breckell impressed with averages of 93.94 and 91.09.

A particularly strong event, with several players producing excellent numbers.

Strong Welsh performances from Rhyl to Swansea

Friday's Welsh results provided plenty of talking points.

At the Royal Oak in Rhyl, Kelson Hughes won the tournament with eight victories, beating Darren Southall 3–0 in the final.

Hughes recorded 96.97 and 88.41, while Luke Newport produced the exceptional 107.36 and 100.20 already mentioned.

At Oliver's Sports Bar in Swansea, Louis Melville averaged 104.86, but Corey Milward took the title.

Milward defeated Melville 3–1 in the final and finished with eight victories, while Melville collected six.

At Min-Y-Ddol in Aberystwyth, Martin Thomas produced one of the most consistent performances of the night.

Thomas recorded 93.94, 91.09, 86.71 and 85.89, eventually defeating Rhydian Ellis Jones in the final and collecting eight victories.

Elsewhere, Jamie Lewis won at Towy Sports Bar in Carmarthen, beating Shon Rowcliffe 3–1.

And at Briton Ferry Workingmen's Club, Bobby Short collected eight victories to take the title against Colin Anthony Jones.

Plenty of quality across Wales, and several performances that deserve recognition beyond the biggest individual averages.

More Vault winners across the country

There were plenty of other strong performances around the circuit.

At GWRSA Club in Didcot, Roger Crook recorded 96.97, 93.94, 88.41 and 86.71, finishing with eight victories and beating Tonko Jenkinson 3–0 in the final.

At Danny's Bar in Banbury, Chris Howse won the tournament against Richard Meadows. Meadows had earlier recorded 93.94 and 91.09.

At Beechwood Club in Blackburn, Kirk Shepherd collected eight victories and defeated Seth Oldale 3–1 in the final. Both Shepherd and Jay Voorhees reached 91.09.

At South Croydon Conservative Club, Edgar Znutins produced a remarkably consistent set of averages: 93.94 twice, followed by 92.02, 88.41 and 85.89. He won eight matches and took the title against Charlie Little.

At Sarisbury Green Social Club near Southampton, Joey Cole won with eight victories, beating Tom Crocker 3–0.

And at Worthies Sports and Social Club in Winchester, Mike Gillet recorded several averages above 85 and finished with eight wins, defeating Delaney Brookes in the final.

Street and Severn competitions keep delivering

Away from the Vault circuit, there was plenty happening at other regular competitions.

At Street Darts Organisation, Darren Herbert won the Open Series event with nine victories, defeating Ben Collins in the final.

Herbert recorded averages of 84.00, 83.50 and 81.24, while Clayton Dando and CJ Ayres both reached 85.89.

In the Street U50 Round Robin, Theo Weston took the title against Scott Briffett, finishing with eight wins.

At Severn Darts Organisation, Jason Davies won the Challenge Series event against Tracey Dean, also finishing with eight victories.

Davies recorded 81.24 and 77.08 among his strongest averages.

These competitions deserve attention too. They provide regular competitive opportunities across a wide range of standards, and their results contribute to the wider Q4QS picture.

Junior darts: Exall impresses and Wills wins in Ryde

There was another interesting evening of junior darts.

In the Soccer Zone Under-16 Junior League, Codey Exall produced an excellent series of averages.

Exall reached 85.08 and recorded two separate 83.50 averages before defeating George Hobbs 3–2 in the final.

He finished with five victories, while Charlie Lowin and Hobbs each collected four.

At the Junior Volts event at Simeon Arms in Ryde, Charlie Wills defeated Quinn Adams in the final and finished with six victories.

Brendan O'Reilly produced the highest average of the event at 77.08, adding another 73.32 during his run.

It's another reminder that some of the most interesting performances in the Q4QS database are coming from younger players.

Women's darts and WADC

There were no tournaments explicitly labelled WADC among Friday's 36 competitions in this export.

That doesn't mean women's darts was absent from the results, but there isn't a separately identified WADC event to report on this occasion.

With the recent growth in WADC competitions, I'll continue including their results whenever they appear in the daily data.

Five performances that caught my eye

  1. Kevin Mills – 107.36 and Cardiff title. An excellent combination of peak scoring and tournament consistency.
  2. Dan Nicholls – 107.36 and Tipton title. Eight victories and several strong averages.
  3. Henry Cooper – 93.34 and Taunton title. Four recorded averages above 87 in a very solid winning performance.
  4. Steve Boundy – nine wins at Portishead. Another title from a sizeable open competition.
  5. Edgar Znutins – five averages above 85 and South Croydon title. One of the most consistent scoring performances in the export.

Another 36 tournaments added to Q4QS

Friday may have produced fewer tournaments than some recent evenings, but there was plenty of quality.

Four players reached 107.36, several tournament winners put together excellent sequences of averages, and there was competitive darts across the South West, Wales, the Midlands and beyond.

Once again, the results show why it's worth looking beyond the biggest individual average.

Every tournament adds more information to the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records and form data.

And even on a relatively quiet Friday, there are plenty of stories worth telling.

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Josh Sinkovits Hits 120.24, Ashton Brown 115.62 & Jamie Kay Wins – 8 October 2026

Thursday brought another 82 tournaments into the Q4QS database, with some outstanding averages, plenty of familiar winners and another busy evening across the Vault circuit.

The headline number came from Ipswich, where Josh Sinkovits hit a remarkable 120.24. Clive Langford and Ashton Brown both reached 115.62, while Ricky King produced 112.73 in Dorchester.

Closer to home, Jamie Kay won at St Breward, Jimmy Bristow came through a competitive evening at Hangar61, Robbie Roy won in Yeovil and Elliot Smith took the title in Worcester.

There was also WADC action and another busy evening of junior darts.

Sinkovits hits 120.24 in Ipswich

The highest recorded average of the day belonged to Josh Sinkovits at The Gardeners Arms in Ipswich.

Sinkovits averaged 120.24 in a 2–0 victory over Curtis Hammond, who himself recorded 97.88 in the same match.

However, it was Ash Ling who eventually won the tournament, beating Lewis Millions 3–2 in the final.

Ling finished with eight victories and recorded averages of 93.94 and 93.58.

Another example of how the biggest individual average and the tournament-winning performance can tell two different stories.

Ashton Brown hits 115.62 as Bristow wins at Hangar61

There was some exceptional scoring at Hangar61 in Patchway.

Ashton Brown averaged 115.62 in a 2–0 victory over Cameron Oram and added another excellent 96.97 against Cori Wiltshire.

Jimmy Bristow also reached 96.97, while Luke Durham matched that figure against Lee Andrews.

But Bristow was the player who came through the tournament, defeating Luke Harding 3–0 in the final.

Bristow finished with nine wins, a particularly impressive return from an event featuring 96 recorded matches.

Lee Andrews, Steve Boundy, Harvey Curtis and Martyn Freeman each recorded six victories.

For me, this was one of the strongest events to look at in Thursday's results. The headline average was exceptional, but the depth of competition was just as interesting.

Jamie Kay combines 107.36 with St Breward victory

At St Breward AFC & Social Club near Bodmin, Jamie Kay produced one of the best all-round performances of the evening.

Kay averaged 107.36 against Barry Wylds and followed it with an 88.41 against William Chaffe.

He then defeated Neil Meneer 3–1 in the final to take the title.

Kay finished with eight wins, Meneer seven and Andrew Cook six.

Cook also impressed with a 93.94 average, while Chris Gill and Meneer both reached 88.41.

A strong evening of darts in Cornwall, and another title for Kay.

Ricky King hits 112.73 – Martin takes Dorchester title

Dorchester Trinity Club produced another fascinating result.

Ricky King recorded a superb 112.73 average against Andrew McDermott and added 95.00 during his run.

However, Robbie Martin emerged as the tournament winner, beating King 3–2 in the final.

Martin recorded 98.36 against Jack Bellingham and averaged 92.01 in the final.

King produced the biggest average, but Martin delivered an excellent performance to take the title.

Robbie Roy's nine-win night in Yeovil

At Yeovil Labour Club, Robbie Roy put together one of Thursday's most convincing tournament performances.

Roy recorded 96.97, 95.94 and 80.52, eventually defeating Jim Chappell 3–0 in the final.

He finished with nine wins, the highest recorded total at the venue.

It's a performance worth highlighting because it wasn't just one outstanding average. Roy produced several strong displays and finished the night with the trophy.

Elliot Smith wins in Worcester

At The Cue Corner in Worcester, Elliot Smith defeated Joe Winter 3–2 to win the Vault event.

Both players recorded six victories, while Zak Edmunds finished with five.

The highest average at the venue belonged to Pete Hughes, who reached 96.97 against Stewart Wilde.

Smith's own best recorded average was 81.98, making this another competition where the highest scorer didn't take the title.

Sanderson wins in Torquay, Gwynne impresses in Wales

At Cue Sports Bar in Torquay, Charlie Sanderson defeated Ian Thompson 3–2 in the final.

Sanderson recorded 75.15 and finished with six wins, while Thompson collected five. Robert Radvanszky also featured with a 66.80 average.

Further afield, Jacob Gwynne produced an excellent performance at The Libb in Ryhill.

Gwynne hit 104.86, recorded three separate 91.09 averages and finished with eight victories, defeating James Robins 3–1 in the final.

That was one of the strongest sequences of averages in the entire export.

More performances worth recognising

There was plenty happening beyond the featured venues.

At Coppenhall WMC in Crewe, Aaron Ayres hit 103.66, 96.97 and 90.99, winning eight matches and taking the title against Mark Jodrill.

At Llandeilo Rugby Club, Sion Thomas recorded 107.36, but Keith Evans took the title after a 3–2 final victory.

At The Newtown in Poole, Henry Cooper averaged 103.66 and won the event, finishing with seven victories.

At Locks Heath WMC near Southampton, Joey Cole recorded 100.20, 91.09 and 90.18 before beating Jarred Cole in the final. Both finished with seven wins.

At Cressex Social Club in High Wycombe, Andy Smith produced a 101.39 average in his 3–1 final victory over Jai Carlton.

And at Rusthall Club, Carl Wilson won another title, beating Rob Card 3–0 with a 93.94 average in the final.

WADC: Oldershaw impresses at Ilkeston

There were three competitions labelled WADC Vault 3.0 in Thursday's export, although the Walton WMC event appears to have a different participant field and should not automatically be treated as a women's competition.

At Sir John Warren in Ilkeston, Joanne Oldershaw produced the standout WADC performance.

Oldershaw recorded averages of 71.10, 70.45, 69.91, 63.96 and 63.31, winning five matches and defeating Michelle Adkin 3–2 in the final.

That's a very consistent set of performances across the competition.

At Phoenix in Eastbourne, Cindy Dearne defeated Becky Smeath 3–2 to win the event. Both players finished with four victories, with Smeath recording the highest average of 43.57.

These smaller events remain important. Not every WADC competition is going to produce averages in the 70s or 80s, but regular opportunities to compete are an important part of growing women's darts.

Junior darts continues to provide plenty of action

The Junior Volts programme was busy again.

At Bar 1895 in Oldham, Oscar Monkton won the Junior Volts event against Noah Woodward, with Matthew Roberts recording the highest average of 81.86.

At Buxton Working Mens Club, Adam Bines beat Angus Redfern in the final, with both players recording eight victories.

At Higher Irlam Social Club, Maxwell Payne defeated Harrison Doherty 3–2. Doherty produced an excellent series of averages: 83.50, 79.11, 79.11 and 75.15.

And at The Plough Chequers in Gillingham, Charlie Smith won the event against Blaise Welch.

There was also a substantial Boundary Park Academy programme, including an impressive 95.94 from Carl Sneyd in the over-65-average competition and nine wins for Noah Woodward in the under-65-average event.

Five performances that caught my eye

  1. Josh Sinkovits – 120.24, Ipswich. The biggest average recorded anywhere in Thursday's results.
  2. Ashton Brown – 115.62, Hangar61. An exceptional average backed up by another 96.97.
  3. Jamie Kay – 107.36 and St Breward title. Eight victories and one of the strongest local performances.
  4. Jacob Gwynne – 104.86 and Ryhill title. Multiple 90-plus averages and eight wins.
  5. Robbie Roy – 96.97, 95.94 and Yeovil title. Nine victories and an excellent tournament-winning performance.

Another 82 tournaments added to Q4QS

Thursday's results once again showed the depth of grassroots darts.

There were huge individual averages, strong tournament winners, regular Vault events, junior competitions and further WADC activity.

For me, the most interesting stories aren't always the players producing the single highest average. Sometimes they're the players who consistently perform throughout an evening and eventually take the title.

Another 82 tournaments means more matches, averages and results feeding into the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records and form data.

And there will undoubtedly be more stories hidden in those results.

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

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

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

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

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

Forde hits 118.66 – but Jacques takes the title

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

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

But it was Al Jacques who took the title.

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

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

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

Hughes hits 111.33 – Smith wins Bengeworth

There was another fascinating evening at Bengeworth Club in Evesham.

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

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

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

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

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

Palmer hits 100.20 and wins at Sartan

The Sartan Club in Bishopsworth produced another competitive Wednesday evening.

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

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

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

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

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

Symons Jnr delivers again in Bodmin

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

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

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

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

McCready's eight-win night in Leominster

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

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

McCready finished with eight victories, while Hurds collected six.

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

Ayres wins in Salisbury, Bagguley takes Stonehouse

Two more regular Q4QS venues produced interesting results.

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

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

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

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

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

More outstanding performances across the country

A few more performances deserve recognition.

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

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

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

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

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

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

WADC: 13 events and O'Sullivan hits 96.97

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

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

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

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

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

The other recorded winners were:

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

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

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

Junior Volts and youth darts

The junior programme provided another substantial set of results.

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

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

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

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

Five performances that caught my eye

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

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

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

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

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

Another 106 tournaments added to Q4QS

Wednesday's results offered a little bit of everything.

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

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

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

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

Wednesday, October 7, 2026

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Ciaran Forde Hits 115.62 as 78 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 6 October 2026

Tuesday was another huge night for the Q4QS database, with 78 tournaments added from across the grassroots game.

The biggest individual average came from Ciaran Forde, who hit a superb 115.62 in Barnsley — and unlike many of the biggest averages I pick out in these reports, he also went on to win the tournament.

Jack Main hit 111.33, while Trevor Burkhill, David Evans, Jack Faragher, Daniel Astbury, Mason Jackson and Dale Thomas all reached 107.36.

There was plenty happening closer to the Q4QS heartland too. Joe Quiney won at Bretforton, Mitchell Atkins took the Widden Rugby Club title in Gloucester, Josh McCarthy won at Wiltshire Darts House, Christopher Staples won in Portishead and Brooklyn Anthony took the Taunton U70 event.

And it was a particularly busy Tuesday for women's darts, with eight WADC Vault events in the results.

Forde combines 115.62 with the Barnsley title

The headline number came at Barnsley WMC.

Ciaran Forde averaged 115.62 in a 2–0 win over Karen Mellor. It wasn't the only huge performance in the tournament either: Trevor Burkhill hit 107.36, while Mason Hale and Damian Corr both reached 100.20.

Forde then completed the night with eight victories, beating Corr 3–1 in the final.

That's exactly the sort of performance that deserves top billing — the biggest average anywhere in the day's results backed up by the tournament win.

Jack Main hits 111.33 and wins at Hethersett

Jack Main produced another of the day's most complete performances.

He hit 111.33 at Hethersett Social Club and also recorded 98.55 before going on to take the title.

Main finished with seven wins and beat Oliver Howard 3–1 in the final.

Charlie Miller's 98.66 and Josh Brown's 96.97 added further quality to a strong tournament.

Archie Self puts together a superb Newbury run

One performance a simple list of the day's biggest averages doesn't fully capture came from Archie Self at the Crucible Sports and Social Club in Newbury.

Self recorded 103.66, 100.20, 100.20 and 93.94 among his leading performances.

He also won seven matches and beat Jason Heaver 3–0 in the final.

Two ton-plus averages would make a good night. Three, followed by the title, makes this one of Tuesday's best all-round tournament performances.

Johnny Haines wins in Eastleigh

Johnny Haines was another player who combined a big number with the title.

At the Locomotive Engineers Social Club in Eastleigh, Haines hit 104.86 and later averaged 94.33 in his 3–1 final victory over Mike Gillet.

Both players finished with seven wins, with Gillet himself producing 96.97 and 95.02 during a strong run.

Joe Quiney takes Bretforton

Back at Bretforton Sports Club, Joe Quiney came through another competitive Tuesday Vault.

Paul Jones produced the biggest average of the tournament with 96.97, but Quiney was the player who lasted the distance.

He beat Danny Lauby 3–1 in the final, averaging 89.70, and finished the event with eight wins.

Jones and Lauby both collected six victories, while Jason Reeve reached 88.41.

Mitchell Atkins wins in Gloucester

There was another local title at Widden Rugby Club, where Mitchell Atkins beat Alfie Palmer 3–1 in the final and finished with seven victories.

Ryan Palmer produced the highest average of the tournament with 91.09, while Atkins reached 90.59 and Joe Bagguley 88.41.

Alfie Palmer finished with six wins and Joe Bagguley five, so there was plenty of depth behind the winner too.

Josh McCarthy takes Wiltshire Darts House

Josh McCarthy had an excellent night in Swindon.

McCarthy hit 93.94 twice, collected eight victories and then beat Danny Humphries 3–0 in the final.

Humphries reached 88.41 during his six-win run, while Wayne Barrett recorded 85.89.

McCarthy's combination of consistency and eight wins makes this another performance worth pulling out from deeper in the results.

Greenslade breaks 100 in Taunton

The graphic rightly picks out Ryan Greenslade's 100.20 at Darts @ The Lawns in Taunton.

The title, though, went to Brooklyn Anthony.

Anthony finished with eight wins and beat James Wellbelove 4–0 in the final. Wellbelove collected seven victories, while Greenslade won five.

It is another good example of why the highest average and the tournament's biggest story are not always the same thing.

Staples wins at Portishead

Christopher Staples took the Tuesday Open at Portishead Workmens Darts, beating Josh Rose 3–0 in the final.

Staples finished with seven wins and recorded a best of 85.89.

Logun Godbeer actually produced the event's biggest average at 88.41 and collected six victories, with Max Maggs and Josh Rose both finishing on five.

Junior Volts produce another huge programme

Tuesday also brought another substantial set of Junior Volts results.

Among the winners were Ashton John at Resolven, Tom Phillips at Ellesmere Port, Jenson Macey at Gosport, Joel Walton at Cannock, Jacob Godber at Yate, Theo Machin at Halesowen, Charlie Ely at Minehead, Charlie Smith at Gillingham, Brendan O'Reilly on the Isle of Wight and Spencer Edwards at Ogmore Vale.

There was some good scoring too, including 81.40 from Logan Ford, 81.24s from Riley Pinhorne, Charlie Ely and Charlie Smith, while Alfie Obrien reached 88.41 in the Calstep Darts Wales Newport Academy Series.

Eight WADC Vaults – and some excellent numbers

Women's darts had a particularly strong presence in Tuesday's results with eight WADC Vault 3.0 events.

The winners included Sue Davies at Denbigh, Leanne Topper at Prestatyn, Amanda Harwood at Dereham, Keri Stinton at Leominster, Eve Watson at Port Talbot, Lily Childs-Crowley at North Walsham and Dannie Hughes at Wiltshire Darts House. The Church Wicketts event was also recorded, although the export couldn't reliably detect its winner from the available match rows.

There were some particularly eye-catching performances too.

Leanne Topper hit 91.09 on her way to winning at Prestatyn, while Amanda Harwood reached 88.41 and won at Dereham.

At Port Talbot, Eve Watson put together perhaps the deepest WADC performance of the day: 81.24, 78.96, 77.08 and 75.15, winning all four of her recorded matches and taking the title.

At Wiltshire Darts House, Katie Mullis hit 75.15, with Dani Kearns recording 69.91 and 68.09.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Ciaran Forde – 115.62 and Barnsley title
The day's highest average, eight wins and the tournament victory.

2. Jack Main – 111.33 and Hethersett title
Another huge average backed up by winning the tournament.

3. Archie Self – 103.66, 100.20, 100.20 and Newbury title
Possibly the deepest scoring performance of the day.

4. David Evans – 107.36 and Leyland title
Eight wins, a 107.36 and a 3–0 victory in the final.

5. Eve Watson – 81.24, 78.96, 77.08, 75.15 and Port Talbot WADC title
Four excellent performances and four wins.

Another 78 tournaments into Q4QS

Tuesday was another example of just how much is going on below the professional game.

There were huge averages, established names, local winners, Junior Volts, eight WADC events and performances worth noticing well beyond the players who simply topped the average charts.

78 more tournaments also means another substantial block of matches feeding into the Q4QS rankings, player records, venue histories and form data.

And there will be plenty more hidden in there to dig into.

Tuesday, October 6, 2026

Yesterday’s Darts Results: David Evans and Harley Lewis-Rowlands Hit 111.33 – 5 October 2026

Another 52 tournaments went into Q4QS from Monday, and although it was a smaller programme than Sunday's 104, there was no shortage of quality.

David Evans and Harley Lewis-Rowlands both produced 111.33 averages, while Kurt Parry, Matt Clark and Daniel Wilkinson all reached 107.36. Marc Wilkinson and Lee Evans added 103.66s, while Kevin Leadenham topped 102 at Sleaford.

Closer to the Q4QS heartland, Jayden Walker produced a superb 100.20 in the Junior Volts at Stratford Social Club, Pete Hughes won at Bengeworth, Danny Humphries took the Salisbury Vault and Scott Mc won at North Star in Calne.

There were also eight WADC Vault 3.0 events, including Heather Toney winning in Plymouth.

David Evans produces a huge Longridge performance

One of Monday's strongest overall displays came at Wilfrids Club in Longridge.

David Evans hit 111.33 and 109.98, then added 104.86 against Daniel Wilkinson. Wilkinson himself produced a 107.36.

More importantly, Evans completed the job. He finished with eight victories and beat Andy An 3-2 in the final.

When someone produces three averages above 104 and also takes the title, it is difficult to look much further for one of the performances of the day.

Harley Lewis-Rowlands hits 111.33 and wins in Runcorn

There was another 111.33 at The Lockdown Bar and Kitchen.

Harley Lewis-Rowlands hit 111.33 against Chris Hildige and went on to win the tournament, beating Charlie Cooper 3-0 in the final.

Cooper also reached 100.20 during his run and actually finished with seven wins, the same number as Lewis-Rowlands.

Again, though, the big average was backed up by the tournament victory.

Three more players reach 107.36

The 107 club was busy on Monday.

Kurt Parry hit 107.36 at the Clive Arms in Cardiff, although Edward Manley eventually won the tournament with seven victories.

At Rogue Sports Bar in Bolton, Matt Clark produced 107.36 and 100.20. Clark won six matches, but Eric Bromley took the title with a 3-2 final victory over him.

And at Longridge, Daniel Wilkinson joined them with 107.36 before running into David Evans, who averaged 104.86 in their match.

Lee Evans puts together a big Andover run

Another performance worth digging out came at the Wolversdene Club in Andover.

Lee Evans hit 103.66, 98.02, 93.94 and two 91.09s during an eight-win tournament.

Unlike several of Monday's biggest average hitters, Evans also finished the night as champion, beating Jack Steer 3-0 in the final.

That is a very strong block of form across one event rather than a single eye-catching average.

Jayden Walker hits 100.20 in Salisbury

The junior performance of the day came at Stratford Social Club.

Jayden Walker hit 100.20 during the Junior Volts event and went on to take the title with eight victories, beating Zachary Petty 3-1 in the final.

Walker also recorded 80.43, 79.11 and 77.08.

A three-figure average in junior competition is always going to catch the eye, but combining it with eight wins and the tournament victory makes this much more than a one-match story.

Pete Hughes takes Bengeworth

There was another good night at the Bengeworth Club in Evesham.

Shaun Vernall produced the highest average at 96.97, followed by a 90.18, while Vince Tipple reached 88.77.

But Pete Hughes was the man who came through the field. Hughes won seven matches and beat Danny Lauby 3-0 in the final.

Lauby finished with six wins, while Hughes also recorded an 88.22 during his run.

Danny Humphries wins at Stratford Social Club

There was a second tournament at Stratford Social Club, with Danny Humphries taking the Vault title.

Humphries beat Martin Haines 3-0 in the final and finished with six victories. Carlton Hope produced the tournament's highest average at 88.41, while Humphries and Jon Shergold both reached 85.08.

Liam Glister was another to have a good night, collecting five wins and hitting 81.24.

Scott Mc wins at North Star

At North Star Club in Calne, Scott Mc took the title, beating Declan Cox 3-0 in the final and finishing with seven victories.

The biggest number there came from Rich Griffee with 96.97. Griffee also collected six wins, as did Cox, while Josh McCarthy hit 88.41.

Eight WADC Vaults

Women's darts was again well represented, with eight WADC Vault 3.0 events in Monday's export.

The winners were Emma Tapp in Shrewsbury, Jane Robson in Birkenhead, Remi Martin in Bletchley, Heather Toney in Plymouth, Gaynor Jones in Swansea, Joanne Oldershaw in Newark, Lynsey Childs in Norwich and Jo Clements in Preston.

Jo Clements produced the highest WADC average of the day with 73.32, hitting it twice on her way to five wins and the Preston title.

Joanne Oldershaw reached 67.98 and 64.41 at Newark, while Heather Toney won in Plymouth after beating Hayley Brant 3-1 in the final.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. David Evans – 111.33, 109.98 and the Longridge title
Three averages above 104 and eight wins makes this my performance of the day.

2. Harley Lewis-Rowlands – 111.33 and the Runcorn title
A huge peak backed up by seven victories and the tournament win.

3. Lee Evans – 103.66 and the Andover title
The depth is what stands out: 103.66, 98.02, 93.94 and two 91.09s.

4. Jayden Walker – 100.20 and Junior Volts title
A three-figure junior average followed by an eight-win tournament victory.

5. Matt Clark – 107.36 and 100.20 in Bolton
He didn't quite take the title, but two three-figure averages deserve recognition.

Another 52 tournaments added

Monday added another varied batch of results to Q4QS: big numbers at the top end, strong tournament-winning performances, Junior Volts, established local venues and another eight WADC events.

And once again, some of the most interesting stories weren't necessarily attached to the single highest average.

Monday, October 5, 2026

Yesterday’s Darts Results: Callum Page Hits 115.62 as 104 Tournaments Join Q4QS – 4 October 2026

Sunday was a big one for the Q4QS database, with 104 tournaments added from across the grassroots game.

The graphic picked out Andy Steed's 100.20 in Plymouth, but digging through the full results uncovered several even bigger numbers. Callum Page topped the lot with 115.62 in Ipswich, Liam Cook hit 111.33 at Blaenavon, and Richie Howson, Kurt Parry, Kevin Edwards and Jack Clements all reached 107.36.

There was also plenty to talk about closer to home, with Andy Steed winning in Plymouth, Lee Andrews taking the Tuffley title, Shaun Vernall winning the Rob Beswick 'Bez' Memorial in Evesham and another substantial programme of junior darts.

And there were ten WADC Vault 3.0 events, so women's darts certainly wasn't short of representation either.

Callum Page hits 115.62 in Ipswich

The biggest average I found from Sunday came at the Gardeners Arms in Ipswich.

Callum Page averaged a tremendous 115.62 in a 2-0 victory over Lewis Nicholson and finished the tournament with six wins.

Interestingly, though, Page didn't win the event.

That went to Josh Sinkovits, who collected seven victories and beat Curtis Hammond 3-1 in the final. Hammond had a strong day himself, recording 100.20 and 93.94.

It is another example of why I like digging beyond both the winner and the highest average. They quite often tell two different stories.

Liam Cook reaches 111.33 in Blaenavon

There was another enormous number at Blaenavon Constitutional Club.

Liam Cook hit 111.33, but again the player producing the huge average wasn't the eventual winner.

Kevin Mills put together the most complete tournament, recording 91.10, 91.09 and 88.41 on his way to eight victories and the title, beating Jose Van Angeles 3-0 in the final.

Three very different 107.36 stories

There was no shortage of 107.36 averages on Sunday.

At The Big Fish in Leigh-on-Sea, Richie Howson produced one and then went on to win the tournament, finishing with seven victories and beating Tony Cole 3-0 in the final.

At The Q-ube in Briton Ferry, Kurt Parry hit 107.36 and backed it up with 100.20, 96.97 and 91.09. Parry finished with six wins, but William Thomas took the title with eight victories, including a 92.02 in the final against Timothy Jones.

Jack Clements also hit 107.36 at Murphy's Sports Bar in Worksop. The title there went to Rob Batty, who beat Steve Meek 3-2 in the final.

Kevin Edwards produces 107.36 in the final

One of my favourite performances of the day came at Clacton Sports Bar.

Kevin Edwards averaged 107.36 in the final itself, beating Max Haley 3-0 to take the title.

Edwards had already produced 103.66 earlier in the tournament, while Ash Ling also reached 103.66 and Haley twice averaged 93.94.

That combination of a big average and producing it in the match that actually won the tournament makes Edwards' performance stand out.

Andy Steed wins a strong Plymouth Vault

There was plenty of quality at Legends Lounge in Plymouth.

Andy Steed and Simon Stevenson both hit 100.20, with Stevenson also recording 96.97 and 91.09. Logan Symons Jnr reached 90.97.

But Steed was the man who finished with the title, beating Stevenson 3-2 in the final and ending the tournament with eight victories.

A 100-plus average, eight wins and the title makes that a very good Sunday.

Lee Andrews takes the Tuffley title

At Tuffley Community Association in Gloucester, Lee Andrews finished with seven wins and beat Chris Wintle 3-0 in the final.

Andrews also produced the best average of the tournament with 88.41, as well as an 85.89.

Rich Griffee reached 87.58 and finished with five victories, while Cameron Oram also collected five wins.

Shaun Vernall wins the Bez Memorial

The Rob Beswick 'Bez' Memorial at Evesham Darts Competitions produced another good field and some strong numbers.

Shaun Vernall led the averages with 92.18 and also hit 88.41 before going on to win the tournament.

He beat Darrel Williams 4-3 in the final and finished with eight victories.

Joe Quiney was another who caught the eye, producing 91.09, 87.24 and 86.74. Williams actually finished with the most wins on the day with nine, but Vernall took the title.

PDC Development Tour 23

Sunday's results also included a major youth-development event, with Henry Coates winning PDC Development Tour 23.

Coates won nine matches and beat Owen Bates 5-1 in the final.

The highest average came from Ansh Sood at 101.90, while Asa Cansdale hit 100.94. Killian Heffernan and Archie Self both reached 100.20, with Self also recording 100.17.

Junior darts everywhere

The Junior Volts programme alone produced events from Penarth and Carmarthen in Wales to Exeter, Minehead, Waterlooville, Milton Keynes, Norwich, Bolton, Leeds and numerous other venues.

One of the standout performances came from Jenson Macey at Waterlooville. He averaged 92.02 in the final, beat Joshua Price 3-0 and finished with seven victories.

At Selby, Jed Wakinshaw reached 86.71 and went on to win the event, while Oscar Yeaman collected eight wins to take the Junior Volts title at The Kings Pub in Exeter.

There was also another title for Charlie Lowin, who won the Junior Volts event at Halesowen before also winning the KDS Under-13 knockout.

There is an enormous amount of junior darts now flowing into Q4QS, which should become increasingly useful as those player histories build.

Ten WADC events

It was an especially busy Sunday for the WADC Vault 3.0, with ten tournaments in the results.

They were won by Becca Kay in Bodmin, Sue Davies in Caernarfon, Rebecca Edwards in Eastleigh, Kayleigh Brown in Colchester, Jane Price in Stroud, Gracie Willmitt in Preston, Celia Allen in Oldham, Susan Ramsay in Waterlooville, Elizabeth Moss in Bognor Regis and Jackie Brighton in Dyserth.

The performance that really jumped out was Jackie Brighton's 81.24 in Dyserth. She also hit 71.57, 62.63, 58.94 and 57.81 and won all five of her matches, beating Kelly Leishman 3-0 in the final.

Gracie Willmitt reached 73.32 during her title-winning run in Preston, while Lisa Hughes hit 71.57 at Caernarfon.

Ten WADC events going into the database from one day, spread across England and Wales, gives Q4QS another useful block of women's results.

Five performances that caught my eye

1. Callum Page – 115.62, Ipswich
The biggest average in Sunday's export and the obvious number-one performance.

2. Liam Cook – 111.33, Blaenavon
Another enormous Vault average, even though Kevin Mills eventually took the title.

3. Kevin Edwards – 107.36, Clacton
There were several 107.36s, but Edwards produced his in a 3-0 final victory and also hit 103.66.

4. Richie Howson – 107.36, Leigh-on-Sea
Seven wins, a 107.36 and the tournament title.

5. Kurt Parry – 107.36, Briton Ferry
Perhaps the deepest set of numbers of the lot: 107.36, 100.20, 96.97 and 91.09.

Another 104 tournaments into Q4QS

There is almost too much to fit into one roundup when 104 tournaments arrive on the same day.

The big averages inevitably grab attention, but there were stories everywhere: Steed winning a strong Plymouth event, Andrews taking the Tuffley title, Vernall winning the Bez Memorial, Coates winning on the Development Tour, a huge Junior Volts programme and ten separate WADC competitions.

All of those results now add another layer to the Q4QS rankings, player histories, venue records, form and head-to-head data.

Sunday, October 4, 2026

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.
