David Edwards was a finalist in Series 88. He was a highway engineer from Derbyshire. He collects road signs and would like to visit every US state.
Edwards first appeared on 6 July 2023, winning his first match with 85 points against Adrian Clarke. From here, he won a further 6 games, with a personal best of 115 points in his 7th game. However, he was defeated by Ian Watson in his eight match, missing out on becoming the first octochamp of the series. Despite this, Edwards eventually qualified for the series finals in December 2023 as the number 8 seed, with 700 points.
No. 1 seed Harry Savage lay in wait for Edwards, and he immediately found himself behind when Harry spotted DOVETAILS to make it 18–0 after only one round of play. David was never really able to close the gap after that, although he did spot the fantastic BENZOATE to nick some points off the 'Thesaurus'. Savage wrapped up his victory before the final numbers round, and Edwards ultimately finished with 58 points, with a final points tally of 758 from 9 games. Edwards is the first recipient of the new finalists' trophy prize, which replaced the previous "kryptonite" design.
