Damien O’Driscoll was
crowned Irish Darts Champion when he defeated Campbell Jackson from
Northern Ireland 6 – 3 in the final of the 2011 Ireland Players’

After six rounds of the

on the day with Cork’s John O’Shea hoping to retain the title won last
year.
After the initial Round
Robin stage on the day four Cork players, Damien O’Driscoll, John
O’Shea, Kevin McDonnell and Peter Quinn, won through to the knock-out
stage.
There was no stopping
Damien O’Driscoll from this stage onwards as he marched to the title
with some superb throwing.
