The All Ireland 2015 Donegal men's team were drawn in a group of 4 with Sligo, Laois, and Kildare. Up first was Sligo - we needed a good start here and got it with a 11_1 victory over a very good Sligo team.
Up next was Laois a good result here too with a 9-3 win. So our last game was against Kildare. We only needed 4 points to progress but the team didn't stop there - a great 9-3 victory to book their place in the last 16 on Sunday. With so many changes to the team this year this was a great start for the lads. So on to sunday - first up was Waterford. And we got off to a great start, 3-1 up before Waterford took the lead 5-3. The heat was on and next up were Paddy and Michael who got it back to 5-5. Up next were Noel and Clive who took it home with two great wins to make it 7-5!!! Now we faced Kerry in the last 8, and we got off to a great start leading the game 5-2, and then some missed doubles and the tide started to turn before very determined Kerry side took the win 7-5. Well done to them. So, not our year but some great performances from the lads. We can't win it every year and a big thanks to Amanda Leech for keeping the Donegal Darts page well updated over the two days. Now on to the ladies who were Grouped With Clare and mayo. Up first were Clare. They needed a good start here and got it 4-2 win. Next up mayo who took the win 5-1. But Donegal got through as Marion won the game needed for them to qualify..On Sunday they played cork in the last 8 and lost 4-1. Good darts but not enough to advance. Well done Ladies - lets take it next year! Thanks to the INDO for a well run competition this year, Congratulations to Mayo mens team and the Wexford ladies on winning!

Well done to all the Donegal players. Glad to see that darts is still very much alive and kicking in the highlands. Hope to see the team here in Vienna for the Austrian-Open Vienna 2015.
