Ireland Players Championships Grand Finals.
The Ireland Players Championships Grand Finals take place next Saturday August 1st from 12 noon- in the Springhill Court Hotel, Kilkenny. Roscommon county player Mick Egan from Kilteevan is the only Roscommon man to qualify for the finals after six ranking events held over the past 9 months. A total of 32 players seperated into 8 groups battle it out for the mens title- with Egan in a group that consists of John Elder, Dominic Fenlon, and Fred Holligan. Top two in each group go forward to the knockout stages.
Mark Finneran will hope to continue his very good form as he aims to take top honours in the Youths Championship and takes on Tipperary's James Gearon in the 8 player shootout. Mark lost to Ballinaheglish's David Concannon in the Final last year but carries better form into this years event- form which almost landed him a 9-darter last weekend also in Kilkenny. Thomas Concannon will be defending his Youths Plate title in which 16 players take part. Best of luck to all three players. Full draw can be viewed at www.dartsinireland.com .
