Top Averages Challenge Tour 6-10: Oliver Mitchell stands out with resurgence from Ron Meulenkamp, David Evans and Aden Kirk
PDCMonday, 30 March 2026 at 08:44
In Leicester, tournaments 6 through 10 of the PDC Challenge Tour were on the schedule last weekend. With five different winners, the depth of the field was once again evident.
The Challenge Tour weekends remain an excellent barometer for emerging talent and players on the cusp of earning a PDC Tour Card. During events 6 through 10, the standard was again exceptionally high, with impressive averages from multiple players.
Oliver Mitchell on top to conclude weekend
The standout performer was Oliver Mitchell, who leads the list with a phenomenal 110.51 average. The Englishman showed he possesses top-tier scoring power. Behind him is Dutchman Maikel Verberk with a fine 108.51. Fellow countryman Ron Meulenkamp also made his mark, registering a strong 108.22.
We also see several English players near the top of the rankings. David Evans posted a 105.53 average and stayed well above the 100 mark, as did Daniel Nicholls with 104.61. Jack Aldridge and Callum Francis were evenly matched with identical 104.38 averages.
The depth of quality is underlined by the fact that players such as Aden Kirk, Nathan Potter, and Dutchman Patrick Geeraets all averaged well over 100. It shows just how competitive the Challenge Tour is right now.
With figures like these, it is clear once again that the level on the Challenge Tour is remarkably high. Players who excel here seem only a step away from success on the PDC’s main stage. The upcoming tournaments will show who can maintain this form and firmly put themselves in the shop window.
The PDC Challenge Tour resumes on the weekend of 01/05/2026, 02/05/2026, and 03/05/2026. Then, tournaments 11 through 15 are scheduled in Hildesheim, Germany.

- I'm afraid the physique of Mr littler is not that of an elite sportsman. Remember when he was on kebabs and burgers,and proudly announced it? He's still a great player thoughrick6726-03-2026
- Yeah it was exciting when it started back around 05. Now its just a punish every week. Take it up to 12 players, and bottom 2 drop out after everyone has played once. No need for finals etc every week. At that stage make it first to 7 instead of 6 to take up the timeslot.Cameron.W14-03-2026
- Honestly,who cares? This league should be scrapped. It's just a money spinner for PDC and sky. How on earth can 8 players do this every week,and leave the rest behind? It's a bit shameful really. Anyone can win against anyone,but not every week. Scrap itrick6712-03-2026
- depends on the tournament, easier to tune out at minehead where the acoustics aren't very good and half the crowd are pensioners. "keir starmer's a w*****" is their only good chant though, they should censor the rest and keep that one.colt09-03-2026
- I watched all of the UK open and didn't hear it. Does anyone actually listen to, or hear the crowd noise? I just tune it out as it gets quite annoying. If I have to hear "if you love the darts stand up" one more flippin' time.... Clearly everyone there loves the darts, they paid for tickets. Why they should stand up is beyond me (half of them are so bladdered they'd fall straight back down anyway) hahaha
DartsEnvy09-03-2026 - I can't answer why, only the PDC can. I do watch most of them on PDC TV - I have it on in the background when working from home haha. There can be some great moments in them like Beau's recent 9 darter etc. As for their significance, they all contribute to the players rankings with the winners of each day getting 15K, so they are important to their rankings as well as their overall earnings. Win 4 in a year and there's a nice 60K (runner up also gets 10K per day). Also I've seen so many interviews where players say they really enjoy it, because its "pure darts" without the spectacle and they can just get on with it. As per the original reply above, with the stage format playing in front of a bunch of booing drunkards, it's a nice change of pace and can aid concentration. So I can perfectly understand why the players like it so much - it's a good earner, not quite as late nights and very quiet / pure.DartsEnvy09-03-2026

- I deserve it I am the greatest I am the people's champion I believe I will win the Premier League because I believe I am the best because honestly I am the people's champion and I honestly made the fans come tonight because I am honestly the greatest and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Oh shut up you pathetic pandering hideously ugly fat waste of space! Fatty Bunting should be more sincere and humbly accept he needed that instead of I this and I that.richieburnettrocks28-02-2026
