Adrian Lewis wins 'battle of the grandads' at darts exhibition in Birmingham
PDCSunday, 15 February 2026 at 18:30
Former world champions Adrian Lewis and Raymond van Barneveld faced off on Saturday night at an exhibition tournament in the English city of Birmingham.
It was by now a get-together between two darting granddads. Both have been around the circuit for a very long time, and after Van Barneveld first became a grandfather in 2015, 41-year-old Lewis welcomed his first grandchild this week.
Lewis didn’t come down from that pink cloud, as “Jackpot” beat his old rival 7-2 and posted a fine 99 average in the match. Lewis also played another tie against Robert Owen and won that one 3-1.
Barney also took to the oche in another match and did win that encounter. The 58-year-old from The Hague edged out Jonny Clayton 3-2. The latter did claim a 4-0 win over Owen.

- Sorry Mr rick67, erm what punditry credentials do you have to comment on a pundit? There's a reason why many top professionals have management teams. They know how to manage schedules etc so the players can just play. And how is Edgar wrong? Last year MVG failed to qualify by missing too many tournaments and underperforming. He's repeating the error this year so Edgar is right In calling this out.BandB15-02-2026
- Just get of Mardle,I didn't pay to watch him,and I don't want him for free! Let's see,how many world champions,either code,did you win? None! Now mason does it more as a player who was a floor player than you were putting pineapple on your shirt. Mardle,just go,you over inflated ego may follow. Tell you what,get on the seniors tour,and show everyone how good you weren'trick6715-02-2026
- Sorry Mr Edgar,erm what have you actually won to comment? Mvg has had his issues,but you have won a grand total of what? I make that nothing. So how can your comment be justified? Let him do what he likes,you do what you like, and we'll see what you win nextrick6715-02-2026

- He's a nice bloke. He's sort of portrayed as a villain,but he isn't. He plays with heart. Sure he's had issues with the crowd,who are mostly in drink,and some players,but which player hasn't? Littler will have to get used to booing,the crowds always get fed up with consistency. However,Humphries won't have that problem,he's a top bloke too,humble.rick6708-02-2026
- So vdv knows something we don't,but says it's not for him to say what's wrong with mvg? So why say anything at all? If mvg wants us to know anything,he will say. All vdv has done is caused unnecessary speculation,which I'm sure mvg doesn't either want or needrick6704-02-2026
