Johny Byrne beat Paul Gallagher 3-2 to secure the cup for Byrnes in a very tense match that kept the large crowd on the edge of their seats Johny won the first leg on tops, Paul took the next two legs with 56 and double 16 out shots before a first dart double 7 finish by Jonny took the match to a decider and after a few missed darts at doubles by both players it was Jonny who got double 2 for the win.
Well done to both sides for an entertaining game of darts most of these lads never played in a final before and for the bottom two sides to provide an exciting game like this it’s a credit to you both and hopefully both sides can take encouragement for next season with this experience, thanks to the checkers and markers and to O’Donnell’s for hosting the event.
