Darts
Final countdown!
All roads lead to Hannon’s Hotel this Saturday for the Roscommon Darts League Cup and Shield Finals following thrilling semi-final second legs last weekend.
Molly’s stormed to a 5-2 second leg win at The Holly Tree to take their tie 10-6 on aggregate. They will meet An Bothar Rua in Saturday’s Cup final after the Elphin outfit defeated The Forge 4-0 in their second leg to take a 10-3 aggregate win last Friday.
In the Shield, McDermott’s 10-3 aggregate win over Flanagan’s means they will face The Hollywood in this Saturday’s final. McDermott’s were comfortable 4-0 winners in their second leg while The Hollywood’s 4-4 draw with Creaton’s was enough to seal their passage.
Saturday’s Shield Final will take place at 5 pm while the Cup Final gets underway at 7 pm.
Elsewhere, David Concannon took little time returning to winning ways when he won the Martin Kelly Cup in the Hollywood Bar last Sunday. Concannon took no prisoners as he came through a field of 23 players, taking the highest checkout in the process (116).
He accounted for Brendan Harrington (4-0) in the quarter-finals, Mick Egan (5-0) in the semi-finals and Ciaran Hickey (6-0) in the final. Clinical.
