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. In Round 1 Offaly held leads of 3-2 and 4-3 and proved hard overcome. Mick Egan and Mick Kilroe got the ball rolling with wins. Offaly took the next three before John Paul Feeney used his best performance of the weekend to level 3-3. Offaly took the 7th game, but Patrick Tansey and Sean Fleming replied well to give Roscommon a 5-4 lead. Offaly took the 10th game followed by impressive and very important wins from Gerry Owens and David Concannon. Scores:-M.Egan 2,L.McGreal 1;M.Kilroe 2,D.McEvoy 0;W.Harris 0,J.Bracken 2;P.Carton 1,C.Ryan 2;P.Connaughton 1,P.Barret 2;J.P.Feeney 2,J.Landy 0;M.Murphy 1,I.Mahon 2;P.Tansey 2,A.McDermott 0;S.Fleming 2,A.Guilfoyle 0;L.Docherty 0,S.O Hara 2;G.Owens 2,T.O.Brien;D.Concannon 2,A.Keane 1.
Roscommon 8 Cavan 4. (17-10 on legs).
Round 2 pitched Roscommon against Cavan where Roscommon burst into a 5-0 lead. Wins from Mick Egan, Mick Kilroe, Wayne Harris, Paul Carton and Paddy Connaughton seen Cavan take only two legs. From here games were swapped right till the end as John Paul Feeney dipped in form but was still unlucky not to make it 6-0 after putting in an opening leg that deserved more. Tony Thacker in his only display of the weekend made it 6-1. Patrick Tansey was beaten in game 7 just before Sean Fleming put in a very good display to make it 7-2. Gerry Owens won game 11 as Lenny Docherty and David Concannon suffered defeats in games 10 and 12. Scores:- M.Egan 2,M.Hughes 1;M.Kilroe 2,K.Clarke 0;W.Harris 2,P.Reilly 0;P.Carton 2,S.Tormey 0;P.Connaughton 2,M.Doggott 1;J.P.Feeney 0,P.H.O Brien 2;T.Thacker 2,D.O.Connor 0;P.Tansey 0, E.Brady 2;S.Fleming 2,R.Venton 0;L.Docherty 0,D.Shekelton 2;G.Owens 2,K.O.Neill 0;D.Concannon 1,J.Lynn 2.
Roscommon 7 Clare 5. (18-15 on legs).
Roscommon produced some of their best darts of the weekend in this clash against a much improved Clare side on recent years. For the third time on the day Mick Egan and Mick Kilroe got Roscommon off to a perfect gaining a 2-0 lead. Clare pulled it back to 2-2 as Wayne Harris and Paul Carton failed to hit the mark. Paddy Connaughton's win over talented Clare youngster Sean Lahiff was crucial to the Roscommon effort as he produced a great display to restore Roscommon's lead. Connaughton's win inspired Sean Fleming to put in his best display of the weekend as he struck home checkouts of 96 and 100 to put Roscommon 4-2 up. The last 6 games were won in the deciding leg. A win from Sean Finan was followed by wins from crucial wins Gerry Owens and David Concannon booking Roscommon's place in Sunday's quarter finals. Scores:- M.Egan 2,G.Dawson 0;M.Kilroe 2,J.Burns 1;W.Harris 0,K.O.Brien 2;P.Carton 0,J.Dickenson 2;P.Connaughton 2,S.Lahiff 1;S.Fleming 2,N.Keane 0;J.P.Feeney 1,T.Fay 2;S.Finan 2,K.O.Connor 1;P.Tansey 1,T.Scully 2;L.Docherty 1,M.Mullins 2;G.Owens 2,P.Casey 1;D.Concannon 2,B.Haugh 1.
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. Scores:-M.Egan 0,N.Redmond 2;M.Kilroe 2,A.McCormack 0;G.Owens 1,D.Bradley 2;S.Fleming 0,J.Cullen 2;J.P.Feeney 1,PJ Stafford 2;P.Connaughton 2,A.Kavanagh 0;S.Finan 0,PJ Byrne 2;W.Harris 1,S.Byrne 2;P.Carton 1,A.Bennet 2.

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/
Donlon Cup Singles.
Roscommon's John Paul Feeney continued his good day to beat Longford's Joe Nevin in the Final of The Donlon Cup Singles in which 35 players toook part. Wins over David Concannon (3-1), Sean Clarke (3-1),Mark Finneram (3-1), Sean Fleming (3-2), was followed by a 4-3 win in the final over Nevin. The Youths Singles Final between Roscommon Youths Ryan Lynch and Aaron Lynch also went to a decider which eventually went Ryan's way. The Lynch's, both from Ballaghaderreen scored fairly steady, but finished very well with checkouts of 40 and 80 for Aaron. Checkouts of 40,40 and 64 coming for the winner.

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. In Round 1 Offaly held leads of 3-2 and 4-3 and proved hard overcome. Mick Egan and Mick Kilroe got the ball rolling with wins. Offaly took the next three before John Paul Feeney used his best performance of the weekend to level 3-3. Offaly took the 7th game, but Patrick Tansey and Sean Fleming replied well to give Roscommon a 5-4 lead. Offaly took the 10th game followed by impressive and very important wins from Gerry Owens and David Concannon.

Roscommon 8 Cavan 4. (17-10 on legs).
Round 2 pitched Roscommon against Cavan where Roscommon burst into a 5-0 lead. Wins from Mick Egan, Mick Kilroe, Wayne Harris, Paul Carton and Paddy Connaughton seen Cavan take only two legs. From here games were swapped right till the end as John Paul Feeney dipped in form but was still unlucky not to make it 6-0 after putting in an opening leg that deserved more. Tony Thacker in his only display of the weekend made it 6-1. Patrick Tansey was beaten in game 7 just before Sean Fleming put in a very good display to make it 7-2. Gerry Owens won game 11 as Lenny Docherty and David Concannon suffered defeats in games 10 and 12.

Roscommon 7 Clare 5. (18-15 on legs).
Roscommon produced some of their best darts of the weekend in this clash against a much improved Clare side on recent years. For the third time on the day Mick Egan and Mick Kilroe got Roscommon off to a perfect gaining a 2-0 lead. Clare pulled it back to 2-2 as Wayne Harris and Paul Carton failed to hit the mark. Paddy Connaughton's win over talented Clare youngster Sean Lahiff was crucial to the Roscommon effort as he produced a great display to restore Roscommon's lead. Connaughton's win inspired Sean Fleming to put in his best display of the weekend as he struck home checkouts of 96 and 100 to put Roscommon 4-2 up. The last 6 games were won in the deciding leg. A win from Sean Finan was followed by wins from crucial wins Gerry Owens and David Concannon booking Roscommon's place in Sunday's quarter finals.

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/

Roscommon's John Paul Feeney continued his good day to beat Longford's Joe Nevin in the Final of The Donlon Cup Singles in which 35 players toook part. Wins over David Concannon (3-1), Sean Clarke (3-1),Mark Finneram (3-1), Sean Fleming (3-2), was followed by a 4-3 win in the final over Nevin. The Youths Singles Final between Roscommon Youths Ryan Lynch and Aaron Lynch also went to a decider which eventually went Ryan's way. The Lynch's, both from Ballaghaderreen scored fairly steady, but finished very well with checkouts of 40 and 80 for Aaron. Checkouts of 40,40 and 64 coming for the winner.

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.

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.

Concannon takes University Honours.
Well done to Ballinaheglish's David Concannon wh became the 2010 UDAI (University Darts Association of Ireland) Darts Singles and Doubles Champion last week in Carlow.
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.
Irelands Players Championships Round 1. Kilkenny.
Mick Egan and Martin Fleming were among the 123 entrants who participated in Round 1 of Ireland's Players Championships in Kilkenny at the weekend. Egan lost out at the last 32 stage on a 5-4 scoreline to Kilkenny's Benny Grace in an outstanding clash in which Egan missed two darts to win.

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.
Irelands Players Championships Round 1. Kilkenny.
Mick Egan and Martin Fleming were among the 123 entrants who participated in Round 1 of Ireland's Players Championships in Kilkenny at the weekend. Egan lost out at the last 32 stage on a 5-4 scoreline to Kilkenny's Benny Grace in an outstanding clash in which Egan missed two darts to win. Martin Fleming had a 5-2 win over Limerick's James O Connor before being knocked out on a 5-4 scoreline to Ian Dobson. Round 2 takes place in Nenagh in late November.

Killarney Darts Festival.
Mick Egan put in several top class performances whilst competing at the Killarney Darts Festival at the weekend winning 7 of his 9 games. Egan had three fine wins in Friday night’s qualifiers as he booked his place in Sunday’s John McEvoy Gold Dart Singles Pro Tour event. Saturday’s Gleneagle Irish Masters was also kind to him as he reached the last 64 out of a field of 350 players from Ireland and abroad. 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.
