McCormack takes Tommy Kenny Cup 

Brian McCormack won the 9th running of the Tommy Kenny Cup on Sunday.

With all of his matches going to last leg deciders, he did it the hard way, but played to a good standard all day to win out the competition, beating Jason Duffy, Noel McDermott, Paddy Connaughton, Marting Fleming and John Paul Feeney. Some excellent finishing by McCormack saw him through, hitting winning doubles many times with only one shot at them.

Feeney opened a 3-1 lead in the final, but McCormack dug deep and levelled at 3-3. With the match at 5-5, it looked like Feeney would take it, but after Feeney bent the wire for double 9, McCormack stepped up to hit double 8 for the win.

Results:
Semi Finals:
James McIntyre 0-5 John Paul Feeney
Brian McCormack 5-4 Martin Fleming 
Final:
John Paul Feeney 5-6 Brian McCormack

All ideas and suggestions for the season ahead are welcome.

All teams interested in enetering the legaue for the new season are asked to send at least one representative.

John Part Exhibition

3 time World Champion John Part was in the Coachman's Inn, Roscommon for an exhibition on Sunday 11th September.

John was an absolute gentleman, chatting to all who turned up, and opted for best of 3 501 challenges against his opponents initially, before switching to 701 challenges later on. A number of local players tried and failed to beat him, but a few took legs off of him.

He finally met his match when the A-team (above) took him out in a 701 leg.

A real shame that more didn't turn up to see and play against him, but very enjoyable for those that did.

A quiet summer on the road for Roscommon's darters, with few travelling this summer.

In May, Sean Fleming reached the Grand Prix Final and secured a trip to Hull for the Winmau World Masters and Lakeside Qualifiers.
Sean lost out in the final to Jacko Barry, but a place in the final 2 was good enough to secure a place in Hull.
Unfortunately, due to the late scheduling and short notice given about the Masters and Lakeside qualifiers this year, Sean could not travel due to other committments.

In June, the Grand Finals of the Ireland Players championship took place in Kilkenny. Mick Egan took his palce int he finals, but failed to get out of the group stages. Cork's Damian O'Driscoll won the mens competition. Unfortunately, due to cutbacks, there was no TV coverage this year by TG4.

In July, the finest collection of darting talent Roscommon has seen in years gathered in the Coachman's Inn for an Open singles tournament. A host of Internationals, laced with PDC regulars and other local talents, fought out some superb games throughout the day. Barry Copelands 4-3 win over Sean McGowan, Connie Finnan's 4-3 win over Martin Heneghan and Aodhagan O'Neill's 4-3 win over Mick Egan being three outstanding games. In the semi-finals, Barry Copeland threw well to beat a decent Terry McNulty effort, and John O'Shea overcame Connie Finnan 5-4 in the game of the day. In the final, Northern Ireland international and recent All-Ireland Open finalist Barry Copeland continued his good form, beating PDC regular John O'Shea 6-4 in a top class final.

The Widow Pat's celebrate first Cup title since 2003!. A large crowd travelled to Hannon's Hotel in Roscommon on Saturday last to see the most entertaining League Cup Final in recent times, as the curtain fell on yet another Roscommon County Darts League season. In a final that provided many twists and turns, The Widow Pat's of Knockcroghery eventually took the title with a 4-3 over Spell's of Ballaghaderreen. Spell's topped this years League table by three points ahead of the Widow Pat's but did what mattered most on Finals night despite Spell's best efforts and misfortune. The Knockcroghery side who won their last won the Cup back in 2003, made a superb start taking the opening two games courtesy of Mick Egan and Jimmy Reilly. Spell's recovered to level 2-2 with Martin Fleming and Denis Coffey wins. Spell's went into the lead when Patrick Tansey won. But The Widow's took the title with Tony Lyons and new found hero Stephen Beirne striking home the winning darts. Totals for the day: Legs played: 66. 100+: 136. 140's: 19. 180's: 4. 16 CHECKOUTS OVER 50. 116,113,113,106,104,102,99,98,77,72,68,65,58,58,56,52. Highest average- David Concannon in Sheild Final- 80.52 in 3 legs. Best legs- David Concannon, Mark Finneran both 15 darters. Game 1- Widow Pat's 1 Spells 0. (Mick Egan 4, Sean Fleming 3). Sharing 17 ton pluses between them in the game The Widow's Mick Egan and Spell's Sean Fleming played out a nervy opening leg which fell Egan's way after 30 darts. Both players were much improved in the following leg which Egan took in 21 darts. Fleming replied to level with 22 and 17 darters. A 72 checkout from Egan in a 21 darter seen him take the lead again but Fleming replied in the 6th leg with 24 darter. Egan's 16-dart winning leg included heavy scoring and no messing on his finishing with Fleming sitting on 154. Game 2- Widow Pat's 2, Spell's 0. (Jimmy Reilly 4, Eugene McDonagh 1). Eugene McDonagh started well in game two with a 20 dart leg. But Reilly managed to take the next four games with legs of 19,27,26,and 22 darts with McDonagh never too far behind. Game 3-Widow Pat's 2, Spell's 1. (Paul Carton 3, Martin Fleming 4). In a game where both players shared 24 ton pluses between them-Carton took a very one-sided opening leg in 21 darts. However, Fleming took the next three in 18,23,and 20 darts to lead 3-1. Fleming continued well, opening up the 6th leg with a 180 but Carton was to take it with a superb 113 checkout in 21 darts. Both players shared good scoring in the 6th leg which also went Carton's way in 20 darts to break the throw. Carton had the darts in the deciding leg and was first to reach the double after 15 darts. But after missing six darts at double and under pressure from Fleming's high scores, Carton had to suffer watching the Spell's Captain take out a 68 checkout adding to his 65 and 98 checkouts from earlier legs. Game 4-Widow Pat's 2, Spell's 2. (Pat Byrne 3, Denis Coffey 4). Neither player played near their best but it was Coffey's better scoring that kept him in touch in this game with twelve of the seventeen ton pluses between them going to Coffey. Game 5-Widow Pat's 2 Spell's 3. (Scobie Connaughton 0, Patrick Tansey 4). Patrick Tansey gave Spell's the lead in the Final for the first time with this win over Scobie in game five. Tansey's finishing being more effective than Connaughton's the key to his win. Game 6- Widow Pat's 3, Spell's 3. (Tony Lyons 4, Paddy Fleming 1). A 113 checkout from Lyons in leg four was crucial to his teams cause. After taking the opening two legs in 27 and 20 dart legs Lyons added the third leg with that crucial 113 in a 21 darter. The third of the Fleming brothers missing his first few darts at double. Fleming took the 4th leg in 18 darts with a 58 checkout but missed doubles in the next leg cost Fleming dear and Lyon's who missed some of his own capitalised on those errors to take the win. Game 7- Widow Pat's 4, Spell's 3. (Stephen Beirne 4, Sean Corcoran 3). This match provided one of the greatest lessons for any aspiring dart player no matter where there from. From the offing Stephen Beirne got stuck in and was rewarded in taking the first leg. All legs continued to go with the darts upto the sixth. Then was to follow one of the most dramatic legs of darts ever seen in the League. Corcoran opened it up with a well timed 180 and was sitting on 100 after 12 darts. Beirne continued down steadily. With both players trying to cope with all sorts of pressures both got stuck on their finishing- something rarely seen in the League. Beirne eventually struck the winning double leading to celebratory jigs and reels from the Widow's faithful. Shield Final. McDermott's, Ballinaheglish 4 Creaton's, Loughlynn 2. Preceeding the Cup Final was the meeting of Creaton's of Loughlynn and McDermott's of Ballinaheglish in the Shield Final. McDermott's done the business in this one. They were boosted in taking the three opening games courtesy of David Concannon, Pat Egan and Thomas Concannon. David Concannon- who was in top class form included checkouts of 104,52, and 36 in his 3-0 win over Tony Thacker. Pat Egan finished very well, with checkouts of 32, 99 and 40 in his 3-0 win over Brendan Scally. Sean Finan was aided by a 102 checkout in leg three of his 3-2 defeat to Thomas Concannon. Concannon's scoring was heavier throughout than Finan's but he was made to sweat it out until the end. Mark Finneran was the better player from the start and throughout in his clash with Joe Crawley. A classy first leg from Finneran included scores of 23,125,100,137,and a 116 checkout. Finneran included a 180 in the second leg but failed to strike double quick enough. Crawley took the third, and took the win while including a 180 of his own in the final leg. Joe Elliffe took out a 106 checkout in his 3-1 defeat to Adrian Doory in game five. But McDermott's secured the win as Andy Fallon beat Pat Reid on a 3-2 scoreline. Presentations.

The Roscommon County Darts League Finals.

Shield Final

McDermott's, Ballinaheglish v Creaton's, Loughglynn.

Cup Final

The Widow Pat's, Knockcroghery v Spell's, Ballaghaderreen.

The Widow Pat's and Spell's of Ballaghaderreen meet next Saturday in Hannon's Hotel, Roscommon to decide the outright Winners of The Roscommon County Darts League.

Spell's reached the final with an 8-3 success over Kate's of Castlerea, while The Widow Pat's did so on the back of a tight 8-6 win over Flanagan's of Castleplunkett. Holding a 4-3 first leg lead, Paul Carton's 3-2 win over Gerry Owens tipped the game in favour of The Widow's, putting them 6-5 up, with Jimmy Reilly and Tony Lyons adding the points to put the Widow's through 8-6 overall.

History says the Knockcroghery side last won the Cup back in 2003, and were runners-up in 2004, 2005 and again in 2007. They contested the Shield Finals for the last 3 years, with success against Spell's in 2009, but that was sandwichwed by losses in 2008 and 2010. The Widow Pat's side have been unfortunate not to capitalise on their talents in recent years, topping the League table in 2010, but winding up beaten semi-finalists in the quest for overall honours. 

Defending Champions, Spell's of Ballaghaderreen are back in the final for the second year in a row, and are aiming to win their fourth League Cup title following with wins in 2006, 2008 and 2010. Spell's topped this years League table by three points ahead of the Widow Pat's. In their most recent meetings Spell's beat The Widow Pat's 4-3 in Ballaghaderreen last November. But, the Widow Pat's enjoyed a 4-3 win of their own in the return game in Knockcroghery in February.

Preceeding the Cup Final is the meeting of Creaton's of Loughglynn and McDermott's of Ballinaheglish in the Shield Final. Creaton's were Cup winners in 2005 and will be aiming to beat the Cup runners-up from the past three years. 

Previous results and happenings count for nothing on Finals night. With nothing seperating these teams, there are sure to be some cracking darts. Best of luck to all teams. All are welcome.

Good run for Men in INDO Inter Counties - attention turns to Youths
Roscommon Mens Intercounty darts team followed up their Pete Donlon Cup success over Longford ten days ago with a run to the Quarter Final of the I.N.D.O. All Ireland Intercounty Darts Championships in Castlebar at the weekend. Saturday's group wins over Offaly (7-5), Cavan (8-4), and Clare (7-5) meant Roscommon finished on top of their group. Opposition in the last 8 was Wexford who disposed of Roscommon at an earlier stage last year. However unlike Saturday last, Roscommon failed to make the desired start on Sunday. Wexford built up a 4-1 lead and despite best efforts, a 7-2 defeat could not be stopped. The run equals Roscommon's best efforts in recent years having lost at the same stage in 2008 and 2009. Bad weather since early December and a short Christmas break meant that the mens intercounty panel had not played together untill mid January. Familiar and new faces from within the Roscommon Darts League put in a great effort within the past three weeks to play well enough to make the Last 8. Four wins in five outings- making it a good three weeks overall.

Roscommon 7 Offaly 5. (17-12 on legs).
Saturday's group games paired Roscommon with Offaly, Cavan and Clare. Early performances were steady, although early nerves played their part.

All Ireland Quarter Final.
Roscommon 2 Wexford 7. First to 7. (6-14 on legs). Mick Egan opened up strongly against the darts in a high scoring opening leg against Noel Redmond. But a couple of missed doubles proved costly. Egan worked his way down to 48 in a good second leg but Redmond lashed in a 142 checkout to take the opening game. Despite missing a heap of doubles in a high scoring 1st leg, Mick Kilroe held his nerve to take a 2-0 win over Andrew Kavanagh to get Roscommon on the board. Despite the best efforts Gerry Owens and Sean Fleming, they went down in games 3 and 4 beaten with 14,15,16, and 17 dart legs. Jason Cullen striking checkouts of 142 and 54 against Fleming. Things got worse as John Paul Feeney was just pipped in game 5. Paddy Connaughton made it three wins from four on the weekend with a deserved 2-0 win over Andy Kavanagh to pull one back for Roscommon. But that was as good as the scoreline was to get. An under par Sean Finan had the odd chance but was beaten in game 7. Wayne Harris omproved on his Saturday's performances to put it up to highly rated Stephen Byrne. Harris took out a 125 in a 21 dart opening leg to hold his throw. But 15 and 16 dart legs from Byrne put Wexford one away from victory, despite the steady scoring of Harris throoughout. Game 9 was to be the last as recent A1 Roofing Ltd Singles Winner an improving Paul Carton was beaten 2-1, bringing Roscommon's involvement to an end.

The Late Martin Hannon.
The entirity of Roscommon County Darts was saddened last Thursday to hear of the sudden death of Martin Hannon, Roscommon town. For over three years Martin had been kind sponsor and supporter of Roscommon County Darts. The County Panel had met in Hannon's Hotel last Wednesday night for a practice prior to the weekends All-Ireland's, with Martin speaking with players on the night. He was always friendly and obliging, making sure that everything ran as smoothly as possible before and during and after darts events at his venue. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and hotel staff at this time. May he rest in peace.

Donlon Cup success for Roscommon.
Roscommon Mens and Youths made it a double success over Longford at The Annual Pete Donlon Cup held in Hannon's Hotel in Roscommon on Sunday 30th January. Roscommon's Youth side enjoyed a 7-3 win over Longford Youths while the Senior Mens team had a 7-5 win over their Longford counterparts in the main Pete Donlon Cup event. Bad weather since early December meant this was the first time that the Roscommon senior panel had played together this season. But with old and new faces, all combined to take what was a deserved success. Performances ranged from slightly rusty to the brilliant, in what was an entertaining clash played out in front of a decent crowd. Roscommon got off to a good start with a misfiring Sean Fleming taking the opening game. After dropping the opening leg Mick Egan- who was captain on the day- recovered well to make it 2-0 with a very steady performance. Longford took the third despite Martin Murphy's best efforts. John Paul Feeney aided by a 111 checkout and the outstanding Mick Kilroe gave Roscommon a deserved 4-1 lead. Kilroe sealed his win with two 18 dart legs. Game 6 went Longford's way as Sean Finan struggled to find form. Finan was followed by Paddy Connaughton who was improving as the game went on- but he too was pipped at the post. Gerry Owens after a sluggish first leg- finished clinically with a 16 darter in the second to give Roscommon a 5-3 lead. An under par Mark Finneran failed to play to his potential as Longford pulled it back to the minimum again. Wayne Harris took game 9 for Roscommon with a very solid display. Steady scoring key to his win. David Concannon's performance would have seen him win other games on the day, but his opponent Joe Nevin produced Longford's best performance on the day wrapping up with a 96 finish in a 15 dart leg to make it 6-5 to Roscommon. Patrick Tansey, who was Runner up at the recent A1 Roofing Ltd Singles sealed the win for Roscommon with a 2-1 win over Michael Reilly. Tansey went a leg down but held his nerve well to make up in some way for his A1 defeat. Play continued after the deciding game where Jimmy Reilly was beaten 2-1 in game 13. Tony Thacker, Pat Byrne and Lenny Docherty all secured wins to take a 10-6 over all scoreline for Roscommon. Although not having ideal preparation Roscommon deserved the win. Next up is The All-Ireland Intercounties in Castlebar next weekend the 5th and 6th of February. Roscommon were beaten Quarter finalists in 2008 and 2009 and will be looking for similiar progress in 2011. Presentation of The Pete Donlon Cup was then made to Roscommon's Captain Mick Egan. Highest checkouts from each county were Roscommon's John Paul Feeney (111), and Longford's Joe Nevin (96). Full report and photos on Facebook and at http://www.rosdarts.com/

Battling Carton secures A1 Honours!
The upstairs venue at Spell's Bar in Ballaghaderreen was packed on Saturday, for the third running of the A1 Roofing Ltd sponsored Double in/ Double out Singles darts tournament. A total of 57 players entered, making it the best supported Roscommon County Darts event in recent times. It was the first darts test for Spell's upstairs venue and it despite the numbers coped very very well on the evening.
On an evening when the double in/ double out format tested everybody, it was Knockcroghery's Paul Carton who faired best. A 6-5 win over Spell's league player Patrick Tansey in the final, made up in some way for his runner up spot at the recent Christmas Singles at Hannon's Hotel in Roscommon. Carton- a regular player with the Widow Pat's darts team, maintained his form into this event and going one better this time. Wins over Derek Doohan (3-0), Richard Southam (3-2) got Carton through the first two rounds. Last years A1 Singles Runner up Wayne Harris also fell victim to Carton's progress with a 3-2 defeat and having led 2-0. Denis Coffey held a 3-1 lead over Carton but lost out on a 4-3 scoreline in the last 8. A battling Carton also overcame a 3-0 deficit to David Concannon before progressing into the final on a 5-3 scoreline.
The story of the final was both players checked out far better than they checked in. The opening leg of the final went Tansey's way with a 52 checkout. Carton responded with a 19 dart leg with Tansey sitting on 55. Carton started better in the 3rd leg. But after Tansey got away on his tenth dart he needed only 14 more to finish the leg. Aided by scores of 37,125,125,135 and a 79 checkout. The 4th and 5th legs also went Tansey's way to give him a 4-1 lead, ending with checkouts of 93 and 47. Carton made it 4-3 with two clean finishes of his own. But Tansey responded to take the 8th leg in 24 darts to go 5-3 up. From here on Tansey's checking in let him down. Carton took the next two legs reasonably unchallenged due to smarter checking in, making it 5-5. The deciding leg started better for Carton but Tansey dug in to have the first opportunity for the match. A miss at tops from Tansey for a 125 left him 35, but allowed Carton a shot at 127 from where he left 72. Tansey went in missing two further darts for the title but skint the wire twice. Carton returned to the board and took out the 72 on double 16 to seal his first Roscommon County Darts Singles success.
Roscommon County Darts wishes to thank Seamus Duffy at A1 Roofing Ltd. for his very generous sponsorship and to all players for their support and turning out in such great numbers on the evening. Neil Sheridan and his staff at Spell's Bar are also thanked for their contribution and hospitality on the day. Full report and photos at www.rosdarts.com.
