The MODUS Super Series is buzzing with excitement as Derek Coulson has already secured his spot in Saturday’s Grand Finale after a strong performance in Group A. The stage is now set for Groups B and C, featuring a mix of established stars and promising newcomers. What’s truly catching attention is the unique arrival of three players all named Kevin – Kevin Painter, Kevin Edwards, and Kevin Lane – who are set to bring an intriguing dynamic to the competition. This article breaks down the qualified players and who to watch in the upcoming matches.
Coulson Dominates Group A, Secures Finale Spot
Derek Coulson delivered a stellar performance to emerge as the top player in Group A. Entering Wednesday’s play with a solid 16 points, he further solidified his lead by winning three out of five matches. His victories included triumphs over Patrick Dekker, James Hubbard, and Gary Mawson. Despite two defeats against Gary Mawson and Jamai Van den Herik, Coulson finished with an impressive 22 points out of a possible 30, comfortably securing his place in Saturday’s finale.
Who’s Playing in Group B?
The competition remains fierce, with Jamai Van den Herik and James Hubbard earning their places in Group B. Van den Herik, who also finished with 22 points, narrowly missed the top spot due to a slightly inferior “leg difference” – a common tie-breaker in darts based on individual legs won versus lost. Hubbard secured his spot with 16 points.
Joining them for the Thursday and Friday evening sessions will be:
- George Killington
- John O’Shea
- Ram Guevara Jr.
The ‘Kevins’ Arrive: Group C Heats Up
Group C promises to be an exciting affair, featuring players who finished just outside the top spots in Group A. David Munyua, Patrick Dekker, and Gary Mawson will compete, having finished 4th, 5th, and 6th respectively. Munyua and Dekker each earned 12 points, while Mawson finished with 6 points.
But the real talking point is the addition of a unique trio to Group C for the Thursday and Friday afternoon sessions:
- Kevin Painter
- Kevin Edwards
- Kevin Lane
The presence of three players sharing the same first name adds an unusual and potentially memorable twist to this group’s battle for progression.

The MODUS Super Series continues its thrilling run. Fans can catch Group C action starting from 1:00 PM BST on Thursday, followed by Group B commencing from 10:00 PM BST on the same day. These matches will determine who advances further in this high-stakes darts tournament.
