A Benefit Fund has been set up for one of Ireland's top darts players, Sean Marshall from Kerry, who was diagnosed with cancer and who is undergoing extensive treatment and surgery in a Dublin hospital.
The good news is that a suitable donor has been located and Sean will be receiving a Bone Marrow

Transplant very shortly.

A number of events, including raffles, marathons and exhibitions, are being organised to aid Sean and his family during this very difficult period and it is hoped that darts players and supporters around the country will rally to this very worthy cause.

Sean's local, Parker's Pub in Kilflyn, are organising an exhibition and barbeque on Wednesday,

February 17th., with two top professionals, Colin Lloyd and Dennis Priestley, in attendance.  The organisers of the Ireland Players' Championship will be organising a Monster Raffle in aid of the fund and raffle cards will be available at Round Four of the Championship in Clonmel on Sunday, February 28th.

Many prizes have already been pledged for the raffle, including holidays, weekend breaks etc., and

donations of prizes will be gratefully accepted and acknowledged.

Sean was ranked at Number One on the Rankings List for the 2009 Ireland Players' Championship when he was diagnosed with cancer but he battled on to qualify for the Grand Finals as a seeded player in the top eight.       He won his Group in the Grand Finals and was unlucky to lose 3-5 in the last sixteen to the eventual winner John Elder.

Hopefully, Sean will get over this major hurdle and that we will see him back on the oche in the not too distant future.    We look forward to your support - - - - -
