The first winner of the “Con Sean” in 1999 Kenneth Kennedy from Kilcar (who is not playing league darts for anyone this season!) became the first player to win the cup for the second time after a 4-2 final win against first time finalist Tommy Feeney from Ardara who plays league darts in Kilcar for O’Garas.  68 players entered this years contest the first to be played on a Saturday, unfortunately due to the larger than expected turnout the tournament ran latter than expected forcing us to cancel the raffle, all moneys collect will be donated to the Killybegs Hospice.

Board number one was won by County player Declan Cunningham (Ringfort) he defeated Gerard Gallagher (O’Garas) in the final on what was the toughest board of the day with former winners Irwin Muirhead (Fawltys) and Raymond Hegerty (Bridge Bar) amongst some of the players on the board.

Board two was won by Tommy Feeney he beat Barry Doherty (John Joe’s) in the board final. Two times runner up from Glen John Con McGinley (Glenhead Tavern) won board three defeating Colm Carr (O’Garas) in the final
Kenneth Kennedy won Board 4 beating Adrian Byrne (Bridge Bar) also on this board was former winner Seamus Curran (Bridge Bar).

In the semis Tommy beat John Con 3-1 and Kenneth beat Declan 3-1

John Flood is the 2007 Con Sean Dart Cup champion (the 8th different winner) following a 4-2 win over holder Kenneth Kennedy in a closely contested final after a long day in the Bridge Bar in Carrick with 76 players entering this was the largest turnout in this the 9th year of the event. The day provided the watching spectators with some great matches with Danny McDaid along with Bridge Bar player James Byrne winning their boards.

 

A full list of results can be found on below, thanks to all who entered unfortunately we had a late finish again but this is due to late arrivals and the fact we have no sponsor we needed to have all entry fees collected but hopefully next year we will get going in time.

 

Thanks to all who attended, helped out in any was on the day by checking/marking boards selling tickets etc and to all who donated prizes for the raffle in aid of Killybegs Hospice, Adrian McGuire (Carrick Meats), Seamus Haughey (Rathlin Knitware), Raymond O’Donnell (Spar), Cathal Doogan, Sean Byrne sorry if I left anyone out you know who you are.
