Stephen Harron lifted the Leo Molloy for the third time after another fantastic day of darts in Kilcar on March 14th, he defeated Gavin Carlin 7-4 in a super final. Both players had 6-0 wins in the semis with Stephen defeating Gerard Nestor and Gavin with a super display of darts defeated Meencha. In the quarters we had one of the greatest matches ever in this event in Harron’s 5-4 win over Adrian Butch Devine with 12 180s and Butch missing double 12 for a 9 darter had the watching crowd in Kilcar House glued to board 3!

2026 Runner up Gavin Carlin

The 2026 Leo Molloy takes place on March 14th in Kilcar with €3,000 in prizes with the winner guaranteed €1000, this will be the 25th memorial in memory of our good friend Leo.

Since 2000 we have seen some of the biggest names in darts travel to Kilcar to play in the this tournament in memory of Leo who passed away 27 years ago last December, he was well loved and respected in the world of darts and was heavily involved in the South West area with reforming the league in the early 1990s and helping to run tournaments including the famous Norman Blaine Competition in The Glenbay which was one of the biggest in Ireland at the time in the late 80s early 90s and he was the first manager to manage the Donegal darts team to an All-Ireland title in 1998 but he was sadly taken at a young age in 1999 so this tournament is a fitting tribute to him.
