John Menchia Gallagher is the 2014 Paddy Byrne Perpetual Cup champion following a terrific display to beat defending champion and 2009 winner Dermot McGuire 6-4 in a great final in John Eoinin’s.

Over 60 players entered on the day and it proved to be a very enjoyable evening with great matches on all the boards, in the semi-finals John beat Michael Byrne 5-3 and Dermot beat five times winner John Con McGinley 5-1, highest checkout of the day was a 154 by Dermot and least darts was by Kieran Gallagher with a 13 dart leg.
