There is also many other players who feel that they can do a job and take this title at St, Vincent’s on Friday night and they will certainly let their darts do the talking from the oche such as Robert Duke and Steven Kearney of Hennessy’s, Conor Hughes of the Maple Leaf, Richie McGrath, Radek Szaganski and Ciarán Teehan of the Harp, John Paul Dowdall of the Joshua Tree, Blaine Meighan of the Groves, one could name many many more who are very capable of taking home the magnificent cup on Friday night.
