MICKEY Mansell won the Tyrone Individual Darts Championship title for a seventh time when he defeated Augher’s Jason Elliott 7-3 in the final and Dunamanagh’s Adrian Devine was also in celebratory mood a week later when he helped Ireland win the Islands International tournament.
Mansell, also known as the ‘Clonoe Cyclone’, was in tremendous form throughout the Tyrone Championship, producing a fabulous performance recording a number of 13, 14 and 15 dart legs and not forgetting the high checkouts on route to winning his latest Tyrone Individual Darts Championship title, collecting £300 along with the beautiful crystal trophy for his victory. This annual and popular event once again saw another superb entry when there were some brilliant high checkouts and lots of 100 plus finishes.
The winner of highest checkout for 2026 was recorded by young up-and-coming young player Ronan Hogg who checked-out a brilliant 154 to receive the £50 top prize kindly sponsored by Clogher Valley Village Darts League chairman Shane Murphy.
Tournament organisers would like to take this opportunity by thanking Matthew Gallagher (Dart District) for his very generous sponsorship which was very much appreciated by everyone involved with this great annual event.
Also a big thanks to Clogher Valley Village Darts League for their support and high checkout sponsorship which is also greatly appreciated.
