Its not really anything to do with me. I was just plugging it for Bobby, the bloke that is running it.

I think they might have one board during the week and the space to put the other three up for the Saturday comp.

Was there myself.Got knocked out by my mate Ste Andrews in 1st round.Its a nice set-up and everything is ran smoothly.I was very impressed with the darts thrown that day.Why pubs in the southside dont do this is beyond me

Good turnout --39 Players with quite a few young players participating which is good to see. Very good standard with some great darts played. Winner on the day was the excellent Shane O'Connor who started off playing competively as a raw sixteen year old in a similar such Saturday competition in the nearby Horse and Jockey. Shane beat last week's impressive winner Paul Ryan in the final. This is Paul's first year playing competitive darts and he is rapidly making a name for himself.

I think the Final yesterday was
Shane O'Connor v Eugene McArdle

btx170

Good turn out. Very high standard overall with some excellent individual performances most notably from Shane O'Connor, Eugene McArdle, Sean McArdle, Glen Speerin, Steven Andrews and Dave Byrne. The Final between Shane O'Connor and Eugene McArdle was an outstanding game with both players rising to the occasion. Eugene got off to a sluggish start and Shane capitalised by coasting into an early 2-0 lead. Eugene hit back with a fabulous 18 darts game in leg 3 despite Shane hitting a 140 and a 180. However any hope of a sustained comeback was emphatically extinguished in the next when Shane closed the match down with an amazing 15 darts game. Remember all games are 601 Double Start.

hey was anyone else out at this i want to know who the big lad was that beat garrett grey i've watched him 2 times lately and have to say very impressed every one knows garrett is a top player but this lad didn't seem to mind that and when under sever pressure on 126 hit to win

as the above comment said very good standard

i know most of the lads but have never seen this young lad before i heard on the night he is a dublin player.

MACK DE KNIFE

ok lads jus posting on ur thread 2 see if any of you lads interested in playing at the big exhib. in the noggin inn?? not many places left 2 play.... post up :Don our thread or send in pms 2 myself or wayne.. thanx......:D

Good turnout and excellent overall standard. Established players Anto McCracken and Shane O’Connor played some outstanding darts in battling through to the final. Surprisingly this eagerly awaited clash proved to be a bit of a damp squib as neither player quite lived up to expectations. Other players of note on the day were Ross O’Brien, Aiden McCabe, Mark Kinsella, Ciaran Satell and Gary Buchanan.
On a more general note it was noticeable that some players are still struggling to adapt to the double start format. Personally I think all competitive games should be double start as it enables players to focus on this important aspect of the game. Finishing is generally poor in Dublin darts leagues and incorporating the double start format in competitions would certainly help to address this problem.

the bat

what way does the point system work

damo180

heard a rumour that Shane O Connor was asked to stop turning up for this comp,because he was winning it most wks, could anyone shed any light on this.
If its true, it makes a complete mockery of the tournament, and the organiser should be ashamed of himself

Although I agree with you that Shane shouldn't of been asked not to play (allegedly) I dont think you should of posted the last part of your comment, Bobby is a sound bloke and this tournament is a cracking set-up so I dont think he should be ashamed of himself at all.

Week No 5 Results

Numbers down somewhat this week.This can perhaps be attributed to financial constraints due to a disasterous Cheltenham and Paddy's Day falling in midweek rather than a diminishing of interest in the Competition. Overall standard keeps improving and again there were some excellent individual performances. Promising youth player John Seagrave was particularly impressive and looks a work in progress. The final between an ever present Shane O'Connor and John Paul Kinsella was an exceptionally high scoring game which could have gone either way as both players missed doubles. Shane's superior finishing power, which is a feature of his overall game eventually won the day but both players are to be commended for a thrilling finale.

Good to see Mac Cracken coming back to some sort of form... Wp shane as always.... If you cant beat em, practice.!!!

maverick180

its me shane o connor do ya think i shold turn out tomorrow because i am no going all i am doing is trying to better myself by playing

dionsiseire

i think you should go and play, i always enjoy playing you and if i lose i never mind because i know its because im not good enough yet. Only way to get better is to play good players.

If you were asked not to go i'd give bobby a ring and see what his opinion is now. If he's following this thread im sure he'll see that people generally think that even if you win it every week, its for the better of the tournament if you are throwing high quality darts.

Half contemplating the trip over from swords tomorrow. Havnt decided yet, wanted practice before Green Isle
