🎯 WYKin Darts League – Double In, Double Out Gets Underway! 🎯

The new Winter 2026 Wykin Darts League got underway tonight, with the players facing the added challenge of the Double In, Double Out format — and the opening night certainly produced some impressive darts.

After the first three matches, Martin Giddings, Lauren Hall and Paul Goodfellow have all made perfect starts, each winning all three of their matches and sitting on 9 points.

Kevin Taylor and Adam Mallabone are also unbeaten after three matches, both collecting 9 points, while Kevin Clark has joined them on 9 points following three wins.

There were some excellent individual performances as well. Lewis Underwood leads the early averages with a superb 61.90, closely followed by Kevin Taylor on 60.59 and Martin Giddings on 60.20.

Taylor also produced an outstanding 66.79 First 9 average, with Giddings recording 62.89, showing that the Double-In format hasn’t stopped some big scoring once the players get underway.

The 180 column has already been opened too, with Paul Humphries hitting the first maximum shown in the early statistics. Aaron Wall and Kevin Mallabone—correction: Adam Mallabone—were among those producing plenty of ton-plus visits, with Aaron registering 9 scores of 100+ and two 140+ scores, while Adam recorded 12 tons and two 140+ visits.

There were plenty of close matches among the opening results as well. Nathanial Tonks edged Joe McKenna 3–2, Aaron Wall beat Paul Humphries 3–2, Max Simpson defeated Aaron Wall 3–2, and Kevin Clark got past Joe McKenna 3–2.

At the other end of the scale there were some emphatic 3–0 victories, including wins for Lauren Hall, Paul Goodfellow, Martin Giddings, Lewis Underwood, Adam Mallabone and Ryan Garnham.

With 24 players involved and everyone getting their first taste of the new format, it’s already shaping up to be a very interesting season.

Double in. Double out. No easy starts and no easy finishes! 🎯

A cracking opening night for the Wykin Darts League Winter 2026 — and plenty more darts to come! I’m away next week so will leave you in the capable hands of Paul Goodfellow. So until next time. Sayonara. 🎯🕺

🎯 WYKIN SINGLES LEAGUE – TUESDAY 18TH AUGUST BULLETIN 🎯

Another week completed and the tables are really starting to take shape. Some big performances across all three divisions, plenty of maximums and movement in the standings as the battles continue!

🔵 DIVISION ONE

Lewis Underwood remains top of Division One on 38 points, six clear of Martin Giddings on 32, with Kevin Taylor sitting third on 30. Eddie Cross and Lauren Hall are level on 27 points just behind them.

The scoring in Division One was outstanding this week, with Martin Giddings leading the way. Martin hit a massive SEVEN 180s, taking his season total to 20, and he now holds the highest overall average in the division at 73.42.

Lewis Underwood, Eddie Cross and Lauren Hall all added two maximums, while Kevin Taylor and Aaron Wall also found the treble 20 bed.

⭐ DIVISION ONE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – MARTIN GIDDINGS

Seven 180s in one week and a 73.42 overall average — some serious scoring and a thoroughly deserved Player of the Week! 🎯🔥

🟢 DIVISION TWO

What a battle we’ve got developing at the top of Division Two!

Adam Mallabone has moved into top spot on 33 points, but there is absolutely nothing in it, with Jeff Wheeler and Max Simpson both sitting just one point behind on 32. Paul Goodfellow remains well in contention on 27.

Mallabone currently leads the division averages with an excellent 63.99, narrowly ahead of Wheeler on 63.25.

The 180s were flying here too, with Max Simpson stealing the show by hitting an incredible SIX maximums, taking his season tally to 8.

And Max very nearly produced something even more special — he went five perfect darts into a possible 9-darter! 🎯🔥 Not quite the perfect leg this time, but a brilliant effort and certainly one of the highlights of the week.

Adam Mallabone added three 180s, Jeff Wheeler two, with Graham Cross and Paul Goodfellow also adding maximums.

Jamie Barber was absent this week, so his figures remain from his previous appearances.

⭐ DIVISION TWO PLAYER OF THE WEEK – MAX SIMPSON

Six 180s, five perfect darts into a possible nine-darter and sitting just one point off the top — a superb week’s darts from Max! 👏

🟠 DIVISION THREE

The battle at the top of Division Three is getting interesting!

Jack Paul remains the leader on 34 points, but Ben Shakespear is closing in on 31, with Sam Stallard still firmly involved in third on 28.

Ben has made a strong push, going from 19 points to 31, cutting Jack’s advantage from five points to just three. Sam has also climbed from 18 to 28 points, so the top three are beginning to pull away.

There’s been movement further down the table too, with Daniel Towers moving up into 4th, while Hayden Hunt sits 5th having been absent this week.

Alan Deakin added another 180 to the Division Three tally, while Jack Paul continues to lead the averages with 54.23.

⭐ DIVISION THREE PLAYER OF THE WEEK – BEN SHAKESPEAR

A big points haul has put Ben right onto the leader’s heels. Just three points now separate Jack and Ben at the top, so this one could be very interesting over the coming weeks! 🎯
