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.

Kates, Castlerea 2 Widow Pat's, Knockcroghery 5 (11-15 legs)
Widow Pat's returned to the top of the league with a good win over Kates in this delayed round 9 fixture. Paddy Connaughton got Kate's off to a flyer, winning a top class opener 3-0 against Mick Egan. After missing a 101 checkout in leg 1, Egan failed to clean up on his return and Connaughton took the leg. In leg2, Connaughton missed a 142 checkout, but after Egan missed his double from 64, Connaughton cleaned up for a 16 dart leg. In leg 3, Connaughton missed a 124 checkout, but cleaned up on his return with Egan left waiting for a chance at 20. Wayne Harris and Paul Carton played out another exciting game on the night. Good scoring but some wayward doubles added to the tension and the game was finely balanced at 2-2. Carton scored well in leg 5, and hit a superb 146 outshot to take the win. All winners on the night played well at times and fully deserved their wins.
Scores: P.Connaughton 3 M.Egan 0; D.Fleming 1 T.Lyons 3; L.Docherty 3 K.Quinn 0; W.Harris 2 P.Carton 3; D.Connaughton 0 P.Byrne 3; M.Conneely 1 J.Reilly 3; J.McIntyre 1 N.Connaughton 3.

Christmas Singles Title for Sean Fleming.
Ballaghaderreen’s Sean Fleming produced a run of several stunning displays to take Sunday’s Rosdarts.com Christmas Singles Title, which was held in Hannon’s Hotel, Roscommon. Thirty-two players from across the county took part on the day in what was the fourth running of the popular event. Wins over Thomas Concannon(3-0), Gerry Kearney (3-0), Martin Fleming (4-0), David Concannon (5-3), and a 6-4 win in the final over Paul Carton sealed his win. A good number of the players involved showed some very good form, with some unfortunate not to progress further into the competition. Thomas Concannon was the big first round casualty. As was Stephen ‘Birthday Boy’ Victory. Wayne Harris’ double trouble cost him in the last 16, while Joe Crawley and Gerry Kearney also departed the race early on. Roscommon’s John Paul Feeney hammered in 4x180’s and a 118 checkout in his 4-3 loss to Sean Finan in the Last 8. Martin Fleming went out 4-0 to the eventual winner. Patrick Tansey was beaten 4-1 by David Concannon also in the last 8. Mick Kilroe’s run ended to Paul Carton in the Last 8. Although higher checkouts were missed- John Paul Feeney’s 118 checkout was the highest of the day. Sean Fleming with checkouts of 112 and 114 beat David Concannon 5-3 in the first semi-final. Fleming who had not dropped a leg in his first three rounds, was the more consistent player in this tussle, as he held out for the win. Sean Finan’s form deserted him in the semi finals where he suffered a 5-1 defeat to a steady performance from Paul Carton. Although dropping the opening leg in the final, Fleming started the final the better of the two, with more consistent scoring and good finishing. Carton stayed close but never got ahead a second time. A 97 checkout from the eventual winner aided his cause greatly just when Carton appeared to be launching a comeback.

Ballaghaderreen’s Sean Fleming produced a run of several stunning displays to take Sunday’s Rosdarts.com Christmas Singles Title, which was held in Hannon’s Hotel, Roscommon. Thirty-two players from across the county took part on the day in what was the fourth running of the popular event. Wins over Thomas Concannon(3-0), Gerry Kearney (3-0), Martin Fleming (4-0), David Concannon (5-3), and a 6-4 win in the final over Paul Carton sealed his win. A good number of the players involved showed some very good form, with some unfortunate not to progress further into the competition. Thomas Concannon was the big first round casualty. As was Stephen ‘Birthday Boy’ Victory. Wayne Harris’ double trouble cost him in the last 16, while Joe Crawley and Gerry Kearney also departed the race early on. Roscommon’s John Paul Feeney hammered in 4x180’s and a 118 checkout in his 4-3 loss to Sean Finan in the Last 8. Martin Fleming went out 4-0 to the eventual winner. Patrick Tansey was beaten 4-1 by David Concannon also in the last 8. Mick Kilroe’s run ended to Paul Carton in the Last 8. Although higher checkouts were missed- John Paul Feeney’s 118 checkout was the highest of the day. Sean Fleming with checkouts of 112 and 114 beat David Concannon 5-3 in the first semi-final. Fleming who had not dropped a leg in his first three rounds, was the more consistent player in this tussle, as he held out for the win. Sean Finan’s form deserted him in the semi finals where he suffered a 5-1 defeat to a steady performance from Paul Carton. Although dropping the opening leg in the final, Fleming started the final the better of the two, with more consistent scoring and good finishing. Carton stayed close but never got ahead a second time. A 97 checkout from the eventual winner aided his cause greatly just when Carton appeared to be launching a comeback.

No joy for Egan at World Masters
Mick Egan travelled to Hull with the Republic of Ireland party, to participate in the Lakeside World Championship qualifiers and Winmau World Masters. In Thursday's Lakeside qualifiers, Egan won his first match against Austrian Gerard Michal 2-0 in sets. A stiffer task awaited in round two, against Dutch International Gino Vos. Despite a good performance, Vos ran out the winner 2-0 in sets. Sligo's Sean McGowan was the best of the Irish, losing narrowly in the last eight of the qualifiers. In Friday's Winmau World Masters, Egan was an unfortunate loser in the first round against Scottish International John Henderson. Henderson won by 3-1 in sets, but Egan missed big opportunities in the second and fourth sets, and could easily have won out by the same scoreline. Donegal's Martin McCloskey was the best of the Irish, reaching the TV stages and enjoying a run to the semi-finals before losing out to England's Martin "Wolfie" Adams. McCloskey's run was the best ever by an Irish representative.

Two early wins were followed by a 4-1 loss to PDC Pro Andy "The Hammer" Hamilton - but Egan’s 83 average had brought some of the best out of Hamilton who managed an 89. Egan missed tops for a 157 checkout in leg 5, but never got back as Hamilton checked out. Sunday saw Egan explode out of the blocks with a super 6-0 win over Shane O Hara. A 90.18 average his best of the weekend. Egan’s participation ended in his third game with a 6-1 defeat to another PDC Pro Peter "Snake Bite" Wright. Egan won the first leg with a 132 checkout and with an 83 average was never too far behind but could not pass Wright who was beaten by Ronnie Baxter in the next round. Missed doubles in leg 3 could have put Egan ahead 2-1, but Wright gave him few opportunities afterwards. Martin Fleming’s tournament ended in the first round on both days suffering a 4-3 loss to PDC player Jon Arches on Saturday - having been 3-2 up and missing seven match doubles. Fleming lost out 6-1 to PDC Pro Wez "Av it" Newton on Sunday, Although not scoring near as well as his more experienced opponent Fleming had chances in 4 of his 6 losing legs bringing his involvement to an end.

Egan tops group- but falls at knockout stage.
Mick Egan was Roscommon's sole representative at The Ireland Players Championsghips Grand Finals to be held in The SpringhillCourt Hotel in Kilkenny on Sunday. Split into 8 groups of 4- the top 32 players on the island battled it out fore the €2,000 top prize. Egan made a very good start in his bid for the title by topping his group for the second year running. He started with the most impressive of his three group games. A 5-2 win over Campbell Jackson was followed by a 5-3 win over Alan Reilly. With those two wins Egan qualified for the knockout stages but another 5-4 win over Eugene Ryan in his final group game ensured Egan topped the group. Mick Barry was Egan's opposition in the last 16 and it was Barry who opened up a two leg lead. Egan responded with two of his own before both players missed doubles in the fifth which swung Barry's way. A few bounce outs after that didnt help Egan's cause and while he still managed to get to finishes he didnt get a chance at them. Barry winning out on a 5-2 scoreline.
The eventual winner was Cork's John O Shea who beat Limerick's Connie Finnan 6-3 in the final.
