Rosie O'Grady's - Borris-in-Ossory

Firstly, before listing more dart friendly pubs I'd like to comment on a trend I have found in darts culture in general in recent years. It seems that for darts to thrive in an area that a number of players must be of decent/good standard. Taking Culchie's original list into account this holds true. Charlestown/Swinford area is one of the strongest for Mayo darts with three plus players consistently making the County senior (mens) team. The Sheepwalk team generally features prominently at the buisness end of tourney's they enter and the Whitehouse won a Mayo cup in the last couple of years that I know of. Pat Walsh always has good sides and a B team. The point is in other towns eg. Ballyhaunis there are virtually no darts played with no pub entering the cup competitions. It seems that a town or village needs to have a team which gains some success or to reach a semi final stage for the game to take off. This creates pockets of darts of good standard and a handful of strong teams which people who are socially interested must break into. Entering a team of handy but inexperienced players is not viable as the strong teams will come through. This can have the negative effect of losing decent young players to the game. Is this true of all counties?

We played a league match a few weeks back in The Lantren, Harold's Cross (which is nearer me than the pub I play darts for) so I went up there early to get some practice and was made feel very welcome and told if me and any of my friends wanted to come in for a game of darts we would be very welcome (if there is no league match of other event in it of course).
