Tonights Tournament Preview

Vault 17 - North Star - Calne Vault17 Calne

Josh McCarthy heads into Monday night as the clear form player after multiple recent title-winning performances in the database, including a superb 89.98 event average during his latest North Star Club victory. His recent wins over Rich Griffee, Cori Wiltshire and Samuel King underline just how dangerous he currently looks.

Lee Andrews continues to threaten after recent success at Lockleaze Community Club and another strong run at the £500 Open Round Robin event, where he recorded a notable victory over Paul Meyer before eventually falling in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, Mitch McCarthy and Samuel King both arrive with recent finalist appearances on their records, while Cori Wiltshire continues to produce dangerous scoring performances across both Bristol and Gloucestershire events.

Several local rivalries could also be renewed throughout the evening, particularly involving players who have already traded victories over recent weeks at North Star Club events. 🎯

24th May Tonight's Previews

 Two tournaments previewd tonight - The Open Round Robin in Weston Super Mare and The Vault tournament at Ring O' Bells, Taunton

Open RR - Weston Super Mare Open RR Weston

A strong-looking Weston-super-Mare field tonight, with plenty of storylines beyond the rankings.

Luke Harding arrives after another run of deep finishes, while Ricky Harding brings recent title-winning form and a 9W-1L record across his last 10 logged matches.

Steve Boundy and Warren Ryan add an interesting rivalry angle after recent Six Week Series battles, while Logun Godbeer has already shown he can trouble strong names when his scoring clicks.

Wayne Harding is another one to watch after recently reaching a final before being stopped by Ricky Harding 🎯

Vault 17 Ring O Bells Taunton    Vault 17

Andy Steed heads into tonight’s Taunton event in outstanding recent form after back-to-back title-winning performances at Pegasus 68, including an 83.94 event average during one of those runs.

Jack Walker and C-Jay Pipe also arrive with strong momentum after recent tournament victories, while Dan Davies continues to threaten after another deep run that included wins over Lewis Kendall and Matt Tremlett.

James Male and Ashley Howe add further strength to the field, with both players producing notable recent results across Somerset and Bristol events, while Ryan Greenslade and Jack Davey renew a recent rivalry after meeting in the Taunton U70 RR Super Series final 🎯

Introducing Q4QS Player Profiles

 One of the major aims of the Q4QS project is to go beyond basic averages and win/loss records to create deeper player profiles and performance insights across the grassroots darts scene.

These profiles are designed to bring together rankings, form, venue history, head-to-head records and performance trends into one place, helping to tell the story behind the players and tournaments rather than simply listing results.

The screenshots below are just a few early examples of the type of stats and graphics the database will eventually provide. There is still a huge amount to build and improve — including more venues, player history, tournament previews, reports, rankings and future coverage stretching beyond the South West into selected PDC and WDF events.

Still very much a work in progress, but excited to finally start sharing some of the early stages of the project 🎯

Welcome back to Quest for Q School 🎯

 Over the last few months I’ve been building a grassroots darts database project tracking tournament results, averages, rankings, recent form and player history across the South West darts scene — with plans to gradually expand beyond the region over time.

The aim is to create stats-driven rankings, tournament previews, player spotlights and tournament reports covering local darts, while eventually also expanding into selected PDC and WDF events.

The site aesthetics and features will continue improving as the project develops, so keep checking back as more venues, tournaments, rankings and content are added over the coming months.

Still very much in testing phase, but excited to finally start sharing some of the early preview and rankings content 🎯

Hungary: Darts’ Next Emerging Powerhouse?

 

One of the things I enjoy most about being around the sport, whether studying results or spotting talent while marking and refereeing, is seeing the next generation before they burst onto the big stage. In recent years, Belgium and Germany have evolved from fringe nations into bona fide darts powerhouses, producing world‑class players to challenge the traditional dominance of the UK and the Netherlands. Poland and Czechia aren’t far behind either, each producing a steady stream of capable young talent.

But the nation I’ve been watching most closely lately? Hungary.

A Nation on a Steep Upward Trajectory

Hungary is not new to the world of darts, having competed at every PDC World Cup of Darts since 2012. But while they’ve always fielded solid representatives, they’ve yet to produce a consistent TV‑level star or a Tour Card‑holding regular who pushes deep in major events.

Based on what we’re seeing right now, that might be about to change.

The domestic structure in Hungary has been growing rapidly. The Budapest Open, Hungarian Classic, Hungarian Masters, and a now thriving WDF calendar have all recorded increasing participation numbers, including a record turnout at the Budapest Open in 2024. These events have become natural proving grounds for emerging players.

On the youth side, the progression is even more striking. Hungarian youngsters regularly feature in WDF youth events such as the International Youth Challenge Open Hungary, which continues to be held annually and showcases national U18 and U23 divisions. These events are producing a growing batch of competitive players who now test themselves internationally. 

Names Already Making Noise in the WDF

Hungary has long had a healthy presence on the WDF circuit, and several players have been picking up strong results in recent seasons. Some of the names worth mentioning include:

Greta Tekauer – a standout Hungarian women’s player with consistent WDF performances.

Gergely Lakatos

Gábor Jagicza

Nándor Major

András Borbély

These players have been representing Hungary across various WDF and European events, including the Hungarian Darts Trophy and other PDC‑affiliated tournaments, which offer host‑nation qualifying spots. In fact, the Host Nation Qualifier for the 2025 Hungarian Darts Trophy included Nándor Major, András Borbély, Nándor Prés and Levente Sarai, all gaining valuable experience on the PDC stage. 

This blend of national structure, youth development, and increased international exposure is exactly what helps produce the next breakthrough star.

A New Wave Is Coming - And One Name Stands Out

If there’s one thing that signals a nation’s imminent rise, it’s appearances on the PDC Development Tour, where the next generation of professionals cut their teeth. And last week, we saw a Hungarian player step up in a big way.

⭐ Peter Kelemen – A Name to Remember

During the opening weekend of the 2026 PDC Development Tour, Peter Kelemen reached the quarter‑finals of Event One, defeating Charlie Manby 5–4 before narrowly losing out to Dylan Slevin in the semis. 

This is a huge result for a Hungarian competitor on the Development Tour, an environment traditionally dominated by English, Dutch, and German youth players. Kelemen’s run puts him firmly on the radar and may well signal the arrival of a genuinely competitive Hungarian prospect capable of earning a Tour Card in the next couple of seasons.

He’s not alone either. Increasingly, Hungarian youth names such as Adam Sepsi, Zsolt Csajbok, and Benedek Szabó are appearing in WDF youth brackets, regularly winning matches in events like the 2025 International Youth Challenge.

Momentum on the Professional Stage

The PDC European Tour’s Hungarian Darts Trophy, now a staple since 2021, has become a major focal point for darts in the region. Hungary has welcomed world starsV such as van Gerwen, Price, Littler, Humphries etc,while also giving home players a shot at competing through host‑nation qualifiers. The 2025 edition again showcased Hungarian talent on stage, with players like Nándor Major and András Borbély earning valuable experience against world‑class opponents.

As the sport grows, Budapest itself has become something of a darts hub. The MVM Dome hosts the Hungarian Darts Trophy yearly, and the atmosphere and crowd engagement have been praised repeatedly across coverage. Hungary hosting the World Masters and World Championship qualifiers for the WDF further cements its status as a rising darts nation. 

So When Will Hungary Produce a TV‑Level Breakthrough Star?

Whether it happens in 2026 is still uncertain. But within the next two to three years, it feels increasingly likely that Hungary will produce a Tour Card holder capable of qualifying for TV majors, especially given:

A rapidly expanding WDF and national tournament calendar

A thriving and competitive youth system

More host‑nation opportunities on the PDC European Tour

A landmark Development Tour quarter‑final run by Peter Kelemen, signaling that Hungarian players are now competitive at the highest youth level

Hungary may not yet be a darts powerhouse, but the foundations are undeniably there. The trend lines are all pointing upward, and when the breakthrough comes, it won’t be a surprise to anyone paying attention.
