THE second round of the Cork Darts Organisation Challenge cup which is sponsored by Councillor Kenneth Collins will be played tonight and also one preliminary round along with the full first round of the CDO challenge trophy will be played.
The playing format for both of the above competitions will be the first to four points with the following format to be played: if after the five singles have been played and no team has reached the four points required then two pairs of doubles will commence and continue to play the best of three legs of 301 double off until one team reaches four points and shall be declared the winner and advance to the next round.
The semifinals and final of the Crean and McGarry shield were completed recently at the Glenryan Tavern and it was Quinlans 1 who got the better of the Joshua Tree while Quinlans 2 proved to be better than the Groves in the semifinals with the resulting final going the way of Quinlans 2 by virtue of a 3-1 scoreline.
The above challenge cup competitions will bring the curtain down on the 2022/23 season but for hardened darts players there will be plenty of competition to be played during the official off-season.
