Donegal mens team are crowned All
Ireland Darts Champions 2020. |
They started the final
strong and determined. John flood took to the stage
and gave Donegal the important 1st point. Andy
McLaughlin ran away with a 3-0 game giving Donegal
two on the trot. Joe flood made it 3-0 and Donegal
had a nice lead.
Captain Sean Wilson, from Buncrana, lost his game
giving Wexford their 1st point. But the troupes
rallied and support was high as Adrian Divine, also
from Buncrana, took to the stage where he made it
4-1 for Donegal. Reece Brennan was in top form as he
took another leg from Wexford and made it 5-1.
Gerard McGlynn wasn't going to see the final lose
him a match this weekend and for a 100% record he
made it 6-1. They only needed 1 more to claim the
title.
Cartha Boyle was next up but his opponent took 1
back for Wexford. The roaring support from the crowd
was enough to spur on Charlie Grant, from Quigley's
Point, to win the game for his teammates. With a 132
check out in the 3rd leg and a 15 darter to win the
match the Inishowen man certainly gave his all to
crown Donegal the All Ireland Champions.
