THE Cork Darts Organisation Challenge Cup quarter-finals, sponsored by Councillor Kenneth Collins, will be played tonight along with the quarter-finals of the CDO Challenge Trophy and the CDO KO Cup.
Carrigaline GAA made sure of their spot in the quarter-finals of the challenge cup as they came through their last 16 home encounter against the Tower Bar with a very impressive 4-1 scoreline and they will now travel to the Gallows to take on the Gallows first team in their quarter-final.
The Joshua Tree recorded the same 4-1 scoreline in their win away to the Gallows second team while Quinlans 2 came away from the Maple Leaf as 4-0 winners with their reward being a quarterfinal home game against the Groves 1.
Red Cove Inn have a home quarter-final against O’Cionnaigh’s after their last 16 win over the Old Reliable in what was another really tight 4-3 result in their favour.
The final competitions of the current season are now at the quarter-final stage and Monday, May 29 will see all three of those competitions brought to a conclusion with the semi-finals and finals being played.
However, there will still be lots of darting action during the official close season as stated in this column on Monday last with Chris Collins running the Hughie Bowdren and Dave Curtain Cups at the Gallows.
