Dundalk and District Darts League round-up

The final week of the Heineken sponsored Dundalk and District Dart League saw big scores and big checkouts being hit all across the three divisions.

Bragging rights were up for grabs in the Premier Division as the Big House Eagles looked to go the League Season unbeaten.

They travelled across town to play Corbetts Craicheads and the Seatown based team looked to be really up for the challenge as they raced into a 2-0 lead thru Barry Dillon (Man of the Match for the Craicheads) and Robbie Murphy.

Kevin Thompson (Man of the Match for The Bodhran) won 3-0 in the first game against John O'Brien (Man of the Match for The Commercial) but the scoreline didn't give a true reflection of the game as John hit seven x 100 scores and Kevin narrowly topped that by hitting eight x 100+ scores.
