Luck of the Irish in this Tournament !!
The darts format is short in the opening rounds which leads to any player who hasn't got that lucky 4 leaf clover nearby falling at the first hurdle and out in the first round.
The tournament features the double-start format, which sees players both begin and end each leg with a double.
Luke Littler is the Current Champion (2025 win over Luke Humphries).DATES & TIMES | MATCHES | TICKETS AVAILABLE |
