That is a fine line up. I can imagine a few players have missed out for one reason or another on this. Connie Finnan springs to mind . Should be some day of darts .

Nice one, I'll be in Omagh that day for the Dublin v Tyrone match so I'll drop into the bar and catch some of the darts too.

Weigh Inn All Ireland Invitational Grand Slam of Darts

DOLAN TAKES TITLE

Belcoo's Brendan Dolan powered to another local title at the weekend as he emerged victorious in the inaugural Weigh Inn all Ireland Invitational Grand Slam of Darts. The number 14 in the world turned on the style in the decider beating fellow PDC professional Daryl Gurney 7-3 in a final that mirrored a wonderful days darts at the Omagh venue.
Forty of Ireland's top throwers took to the oche on Sunday with Dolan clinching the title after qualifing runner up in leg difference from his group and eventually beating the genial John Flood in a hard fought semi-final 6-4, the highlight, a 136 checkout in the final leg.
It was dart for dart in that semi-final as the North West veteran led 3-2 before Dolan finally took charge with some super cool finishing to clinch the final three legs.
Gurney only showed brief glimpses of his quality after a commanding run through the round robin and early knock out stages. The Londonderry man having to battle all the way against one of the Country's best up and coming players Dave Concannon in the last four. Four maximums in the semi- final eventually saw him through to the final as Concannon took the first two legs.
Gurney at times struggled but a couple of errors from the young thrower allowed "Dude" back despite missing out on a double ten finish on two visits to the board in leg six.
The final was expected to be a pressure cooker but a storming start from Dolan put Gurney on the back foot, 3-0 up the Fermanagh thrower was playing controlled darts but a rare slip allowed Gurney back and at 5-3 after two maximums in leg eight the North West man looked to be back within striking distance. Normal service was restored by Dolan as he took leg nine and in front of a packed house he once again stamped his authority on the final and hit a simple double five to wrap up the tournament 7-3.
The real winner of the weekend was darts itself, the cream of the crop had all competed, from the BDO, PDC and a raft of top local throwers with twenty four players leaving the Omagh venue with part of the £5,000 plus prize pool. Davy Guy and Justin McGuigan were the best of the local Omagh throwers, the duo reached the last 16.
The days subsidiary competition produced some super darts two, no surprise really with Kevin Burness and Colin McGarry going head to head. Burness went 5-0 up and McGarry looked dead and buried but from somewhere the Northern Ireland international produced shot after shot and it sat 5-4 ahead of the tenth leg. Burness, "The Iron man" stood up to the task again though and quickly accounted for his Larne counterpart winning the decider 6-4.
