Mohill success for Thomas Concannon.
A 3-2 win over Mayo's Martin Heneghan won Thomas Concannon his first ever I.N.D.O. ranking darts title at the Mohill Youths Singles last weekend. A 3-0 quarter final win over Kilkenny's John Meaney set up a Semi final clash with his cousin Gary Concannon which he prevailed on a 3-2 scoreline. Last years Mohill winner Mark Finneran was beaten by Heneghan in the Last 8 on a 3-1 scoreline. Well done to Thomas!
