Dundalk darts | DDDL returns after Christmas break

The Heineken-sponsored Dundalk and District Dart League returned last week after a break for Christmas.

The clash between Premier Division leaders, The Big House Eagles, and title chasers, The Commercial, was the big fixture, hosted by The Commercial Club.

The Big House Eagles were quick out of the blocks and wins for Marty Dixon (Player of the Match), Stephen Shields and Conor Mc Ardle put them in the driving seat.

John O'Brien pulled one back for the Commercial Club before Martin Carvill won the next game for the Big House Eagles to secure the win, before Ciaran Treanor won the last game for the Commercial Club to leave the final result 4-2 to the Eagles.

Down in Seatown, Corbetts Craicheads hosted The Punters. The home team laid down a marker early on with wins for Barry Dillon and Captain, Robbie Murphy.

Lorcan Bradley (Player of the Match) won the next for the Craicheads before Jack Curley won the next game and secured the win for his team.

Bob Morgan and Tony Kenna (Player of the Match) won the final two games for the Punters to leave the final score 4-2. Also in the Commercial Club, the Commercial 26ers hosted the Bodhran Bandits.

Shane Cairns and Gino Cooney (Player of the Match) put the hosts two up before Barry Myles reduced the deficit. Jamie Lee won the next game to restore the hosts' two-game advantage before Brian McArdle won the next game for the Bandits.

So it went to the deciding game, and James Morrisey won for the hosts and sealed the win for the 26ers.
