It was a bumper week for Ireland’s Adam Dee as he was in top form at the Killarney Darts Festival.
Always a hectic week on the darts calendar, Dee was involved in men’s, youth and pairs events,
reaching the semi-finals on the Boy’s Irish Open.
After coming through his group unscathed, he put together three 3-0 wins on the spin to set up a
semi-final meeting with Aiden O’Hara. That’s where the run would end in the singles, Dee also added
a pair of last 16 run, which included several high 90’s averages, with partner Sean McKeon to his
ever-growing reputation.
It was also a successful weekend for Rebecca Allen in Kilarney as she reached the final of the girl’s
classic and semi-final of the open. Allen and fellow youngster Paige Pauling have build up quite a
rivalry of late, and she would be the only competitor to stop Allen on an excellent Irish Classic run.
Elsewhere, Jack Nankervis was victorious in the Tencreek Winter Juniors Championship, dropping
just two legs on route to the title. There was also a big win for Conor Hopkins, who defeated former
tour card holder Nick Kenny as he reached the semi-finals in local competition, following a pairs
victory earlier in the weekend.
