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.
