Gerard McGlynn wins his first Con Sean title

Glenfin thrower Gerard McGlynn is the 2023 Con Sean champion following a brilliant display of darts not just in the final but on the day, the county star defeated fellow county player Cartha Boyle in the final saving his best darts for the final match, where he had 106 and 104 checkouts, a 13-dart leg and a 180 on his way to a 6-1 win in what was one of the best induvial performances in the final in the history of this tournament.

Gerard also had the highest checkout of the day with a 135 in the quarter final. We had 74 players registered to play on the day which was the highest since we had 76 entries 2007. Beaten semi finalists were local thrower Adrian Byrne who had some notable wins on the way to the last four including John Meencha and Declan Cunningham and county veteran John Murray who also had some big wins on his way to the last four and gave McGlynn a tough test in his semi. The event was held in Evelyn’s and Hegarty’s Bars and thanks to both for their hospitality.
