Egan qualifies for Lakeside Qualifiers/ Winmau Masters.
Congratulations to Kilteevan and Roscommon Intercounty Darts player Mick Egan who has qualified automatically for October's Lakeside World Qualifiers and Winmau World Masters by reaching the final of the INDO Grand Prix that took place at The Percy French Hotel, Strokestown.

On Saturday, Mick Egan and Tommy Beirne took part in the mens field for the INDO ranked Percy French Singles. Connie Finnan of Limerick defeated Martin Heneghan of Mayo 6-3 in the mens final. Mick Egan enjoyed a good run to the semi-finals, before some very poor finishing put paid to his good scoring efforts, as he went down 5-1 to Heneghan. John Joe Dolan of Sligo was the other beaten semi-finalist. There was a good turnout from Roscommon in the Youths event, and Jack Morgan from Ballaghaderreen was an unlucky loser in the youths final against Donegal's Geordan Boyce. Despite Morgan getting to the doubles first, Donegal's Boyce proved the better finisher, and won the final 2-1. Olive McIntyre from Leitrim took the Ladies event with a 5-1 win over Donegal's Angela Deward.
