Charlie Grant take’s Leo Molloy for First Time

Charlie Grant is the ninth different name to go on this prestigious trophy joining the likes of Brendan Dolan and Sean McGowan on the list of winners in one of the toughest and completive competitions in the area, he defeated 2005 runner up Amir Quaimbao 6-1 in the final in a clinical display of darts he had an 11 dart leg (where he started off with back to back 180’s for the second time on the day) and a 13 dart leg, Amir’s sole leg was also a 13 darter. Defeated semi-finalists were John Flood and Andrew Barron, Flood had a 170 check out in the quarter finals against Andrew Gillespie who along with Kenneth Kennedy were the two SWDDL players who made the last eight. Thanks to all who turned out on the day we hope to build on this for next year to the two hosts Kilcar House and John Joe’s to our board sponsors, Kilcar Cabs, Carrick Meats, John Joes and Kilcar House and to all who helped out in any way. Our aim is to make this the biggest tournament in the area as it should be as Leo Molloy did a lot for darts in the area and for Donegal.
