A packed St, Vincent's GAA club was the venue for a magnificent Bank Holiday darts gala on Easter Monday last.
John O'Shea and Martin Cotter once again proved to be the masters in doubles events as they claimed the top prize of €400 in their defeat in a wonderful final of Stephen O'Connor and Jason Kavanagh.
This was truly television darts at it's best and kept the massive attendance at the Vincent's gripped and wishing for more as O'Shea and Cotter ran out winners by three legs to two.
Rita Hannigan claimed her second singles win in five days as she again defeated Mary Long in the ladies final.
Rita has been waiting over twenty years for this win and she goes and claims two in a few days.
Another example of the youth that is coming through the underage ranks was shown throughout the youths competition as, Ryan Courtney showed a welcome return to form in his win over a very unlucky Stephen O'Driscoll in a marvelous final that had the attandance enthralled at the standard of darts on view, as Courtney ran out winner by two legs to one.
