Great comeback by Donegal to take National Darts title

Donegal had to stage a good come back and hold off Dublin to take the Inter-Counties Championship in Meath on Sunday night.

Donegal were 3-0 down in the first to seven match but went 5-3 up after a run of wins started by Milford man John Flood, while Ciaran McGeady, Charlie Grant, Adrian Devine and Declan Quinn all won to put them in the driving seat.

Dublin pegged it back to 5-5 but Dean Gallagher put the Donegal men back in front and Newtowncunningham native Jordan Boyce checked out 56 to win 3-0 and give Donegal the 7-5 win in the Knightsbrook Hotel.
