Dundalk welcomes 'The Ferret' for darts exhibition

World number five Jonny Clayton will be in Dundalk on Friday, 27th February, when he headlines a special exhibition night at the Clan Na Gael Hall.

“The Ferret,” a two-time PDC World Cup of Darts winner and champion of 17 PDC events, is one of the sport’s most respected figures.

The Welshman, who walks on to Chuck Berry’s Johnny B Goode, promises an entertaining evening both on and off the oche. Adding to the occasion, a number of leading local players and emerging talents will also take to the stage.

All proceeds from the night will support Dundalk Youth Darts and the Cystic Fibrosis Ireland Lourdes Fund.

Tickets are available exclusively through Ticketstop, with no sales at the door. VIP tickets are limited, and with Clayton’s reputation for quality and character, demand is expected to be strong.
