good stuff. its great to see irish darts get some coverage, you've now got as many televised events as the BDO. Hope those tg4 guys were practicing there spotting compared to last year.

Yes. Good stuff.

this is great news

fair play to TG4. They really try to bring something different. Hopefully the camera work is better than Bravo's attempt at covering the European Champs in Germany.

Cant be much worse! But to be fair to Bravo they got it right after the first round matches with no more missed shots or finishes.

Looking forward to the first programme on Monday, August 9th. !

I don't know if you can pick up TG4 over in Glasgow but if you wish I will try and organise a DVD for you.

Great darts on TG4 on Monday night and a big improvement on the presentation by TG4.

Did anybody spot the Limerick Legend, Donie Corbett, in the audience?

Donie was the first winner of the Smithwick's Irish Masters in 1982 and was one of Ireland's top throwers for many years before emigrating to the sunshine in Spain.
He was back home for a short break and honoured us with his presence at the Springhill Court Hotel.

Any Double !

Right there, Pops, I had the pleasure of meeting up with them in Paddy's Point in 2006 - - 'tis they have the Good Life !

I believe that you are heading out there soon for a return visit ?

Yes will be going there for a few weeks after Killarney. However Donaldo and spouse are back here next week as their son is opening up a new venture in Limerick.
I'll try and coax them out for a night to avoid dehydration setting in but it will be difficult though :)
