Darts League 2022/2023

After a pause of more than a year due to covid-19 restrictions the Darts League is up and running and in full swing again.   Teams are made up of 6 players, both men and women and a great deal of effort is put into balancing the teams as much as possible.  There are 8 teams in all and the season is a 14 game schedule with every team playing the other teams twice.  It is designed to be a fun house-league but invariably it becomes somewhat competitive as everyone strives to do their best and come out on top.  New-comers are always welcome, but paid up membership at the Irish Club is mandatory.
