Power Surge In Killarney
Phil "The Power" Taylor completed the double over the weekend of October 16th to 18th, at the Killarney Darts Festival held in the INEC, with 56 PDC Pros over for the weekend of darts. On Saturday, he came through an entry of 333 players to defeat Wayne "The Wanderer" Jones 6-1 in the final of the Gleneagle Irish Masters. On Sunday, he came through an entry of 161 players to defeat Paul Nicholson 6-0 in the final of the John McEvoy Gold Dart Classic. The Power was in imperious form, dropping only 4 legs in 7 matches on Sunday.
Mick Egan got the draw that everyone wanted and nobody wanted, when he drew the 14 time world champion in the first round on Sunday. Egan put in a good effort, but went down 6-0, although he had chances to win 2 legs, and was close enough in a few others.

The Power lived up to his name on Sunday, averaging 115 in his second match against Pak O'Donovan (6-0), and then defeating Wayne Mardle (6-1), Michael van Gerwen (6-0), Andy Hamilton (6-1) and Wayne Jones (6-2), before taking out Paul Nicholson 6-0 in the final.

It was an unbelievable experience for Egan, playing Taylor in competition, and being up close to the Phil Taylor circus, it was easy to see why The Power is head and shoulders above everybody else.

More players, more games, more darts!!!!
The 11th Roscommon County Darts League will begin this week with over 100 players from across the county taking part over the next 5 months.
Round 1 on the 16th of October sees Timmy's of Elphin host the Widow Pat's of Knockcroghery. Timmy's (same team, same venue,different team name!)- were very competitive for most of last year and retain alot of their players. The Knockcroghery outfit rotate their home venue every third year and represent the Widow Pat's this time. Both sides are a good bet to make the last four as long as they dont drop easy points.
2005 Champions Creaton's of Loughlynn host first time entrants The Tower Bar of Elphin. Creaton's have a mixture of experience and youth. They struggled last year and will have to rely on the younger players to pick up more points this time to make the top 4. The Tower Bar (The Beauties and The Beasts!!!) have 9 ladies and 3 fellas on board. A couple of points from this fixture would be encouraging early on.
McDermott's of Ballinaheglish host The Hollywood of Roscommon Town. McDermott's have been involved on finals night for the past three years. In 2007 as Shield winners- and in 08 and 09 as losing Cup finalists. This may be their year. They took 7 from this fixture last year something the Roscommon boys will set out to overturn. The Hollywood is a new venue for the Roscommoners who were unlucky not to have picked up better results throughout last years league.
Spell's topped the table last year- but efforts were destroyed by McDermott's in the second semi final last year. Kate's of Castlerea travel to Ballaghaderreen having lost some good players over the summer. But a good game is expected all the same.
Reigning Champions Flanagan's of Castleplunkett have to wait until next week to open their campaign.
Best of luck to all teams.
