Cork Festival Of Darts
Mick Egan was the sole representative in Cork at the INDO Cork Festival of Darts over the weekend of June 6th & 7th. On Saturday evening, Egan teamed up with Donegal's John Flood in the pairs, and had a good run, before eventually losing out 6-2 in the final, to Limerick's Connie Finnan and Meath's Steven McDonnell. The game was much tighter than the score suggests, with missed doubles from Egan and Flood at crucial times not helping their cause. On Sunday, Egan was unfortunate to draw the in form Finnan in the singles, and went down 4-1. Finnan won out on the day, his third singles victory of the season in INDO ranking tournaments.
