Cork Darts Organisation Home of Darts in Cork City
The 32nd, Annual General Meeting of the Cork Darts Organisation was held at the Telecom club on McCurtain Street and the big news to come from the AGM was the decision to discontinue CDO competitions on Friday nights because of the small amount of teams that were entering the leagues and cup events on Friday night.
