The latest DPA events took place this past weekend with Haupai Puha and Robbie King in particular starring.

There were six events in all and they both picked up doubles with Koha Kokiri and James Bailey also claiming wins.
It started off with Bailey who alongside Damon Heta has been a shining light of the DPA ProTour this year.
He saw off Mick Lacey, the aforementioned Robbie King and Ryan Lynch to add another title to his haul.
King claimed the next event seeing off Ben Robb, a former World Series participant in the final.
Puha was next to claim an event win with ‘Hopes’ also seeing off Ben Robb in his final. The Kiwi ace will be part of New Zealand’s World Cup side in June with Cody Harris in a strong line up.
King returned to the winners circle in the next event seeing off Steve Fitzpatrick who himself denied Damon Heta in the semis.
Fitzpatrick reached back to back Finals with him also being edged out by the experienced Koha Kokiri in the penultimate event.
Kokiri reached back to back Finals but he was denied by Haupai Puha who picked up his double to end an exciting weekend on the DPA Pro Tour.

    Beau's just gone 14-12-11-10 to win her second round PC game from 5-2 down. She's a true competitor not a show pony.
  • Baphomet29-07-2026
    Quite rightly Beau is more interested in winning meaningful matches?
  • richieburnettrocks28-07-2026
    I really enjoyed the Women's Matchplay, Beau seemed slightly nervous but when it mattered, she hit the big scores and required check outs. Both Gemma and Fallon had her on the ropes and were equally unlucky. I wonder what ever happened to Gemma's partner Stephanie Smee, she was a decent player that just disappeared. Good to see her. I would like to see a longer format maybe over Saturday and Sunday. It does work well and this could be an option in the World Championship, a ladies Championship run parallel with the men's like played at Lakeside. Congratulations Beau!
  • richieburnettrocks21-07-2026
    Sophie is an excellent player and an exciting talent. I would have thought such a talented player would certainly be ranked higher than 17. It will be great to see her back at Lakeside and hopefully becoming champion.
  • richieburnettrocks19-07-2026
    How many times can fatty Bunting say listen, listen, listen....... I definitely don't want to see him for another 10 years, although looking at him, I don't think we will...you know what I mean.
  • richieburnettrocks16-07-2026
    Don't worry Vinman, England will not be in the final.
  • richieburnettrocks13-07-2026
    Ultimately, Vin man knew when to call it quits. Barney was excellent and one of the greatest darts player ever, but he just doesn't have that ability anymore. Vinman working in media is only saying what he thinks and I like how he doesn't sugar coat things and is completely honest and direct with his comments. Vinman will probably agree he wasn't really on the same level as Barney in their respective heydays.
  • mikedarts03-07-2026
    I agree that this season the format was a bit stale, it would be better to have some new faces rotated in through the season. I also think they should vary the format a bit as it doesn't count for rankings, they could have different varieties of 501 (e.g. double start) or just different challenges.
  • mikedarts03-07-2026
    I don't really understand why its an issue that Littler doesn't play in the events, they are barely televised so there is no draw for marketing and it gives the other players a better chance to define their narratives. The events are more of a throw back to old events. I agree that the format should be looked at, I don't know why they don't do a more interesting format or vary it through the season to improve interest
  • BandB03-07-2026
    This shows they have the prize money structure wrong then (and OoM as a result). Put more £ into the floor, less on the TV and you'll attract more players to attend more often.
