History
2015 – 2016
Whitehall Colmcilles Darts Club was formed in 2015, with an initial membership of 23 players. Generously sponsored by co-founder Fran Hughes (Fran’s Barbers) the team competed in the North City Wednesday Blue section, finishing a highly creditable fourth in our first season.
2016 – 2017
The 2016-17 season saw the team again compete in the Wednesday Blue league. This time we weren’t to be outdone and we emerged as league champions. It was a fantastic season all round, with us also reaching the semi-finals of the Junior Cup, and Paul Fagan and Mick Farren reaching the final of the league doubles competition having won the divisional title along the way.

The Wednesday team had a record-breaking season, becoming the first wednesday league team ever to win the League & Junior Cup double. In a hotly contested battle for the Wednesday Blue league the guys kept their nerve and their focus to close out the season unbeaten, eventually finishing three points clear of runners-up, Craobh Chiaráin.
The Junior Cup final was a match up with the winners of the Wednesday Red league, Salmon’s of Blanchardstown. In a tightly fought affair it was Mick Creedon who hit the winning double to bring the trophy home.
