The Creeslough Annual St. Brigid's Bank Holiday darts competition
The Creeslough annual St. Brigid's Bank Holiday darts competition is an annual darts competition held in Creeslough. It is usually held on the first Sunday in February in Roses bar in Creeslough. The competition plays host to a range of talented young darters from the town, averaging a field of around 6 to 8 players annually. The competition recently hosted its second annual event which was proudly sponsored by Boyles Buses of Creeslough.

History
The competition was first hosted in 2023 following the addition of the bank holiday to the calendar. The 2023 competition was played in a straight knockout format with 8 competitors playing out the quarter finals, semi finals the final. The final was a closely fought game between Carlos O' Reilly and Kyle McGarvey. The pair would have faced each other many times in the past but none more important than this and it was O' Reilly who ultimately came out on top. The winner of the highest checkout was unknown but Hugh O' Donnell was hailed for his high score of 180 which to date is the only 180 the competition has seen (and Hughie has scored).

The 2024 Creeslough Annual St. Brigid's Bank Holiday darts competition was a landmark for the competition as it celebrated its second year since its inauguration the year prior. With a smaller field of 6 players this year it was a great opportunity for one lucky winner to write himself into the history books. Adopting a league format this year, the 6 players were divided into 3 in which each competitor in their group once with the top two in each group progressing to the final. The final featured a surprise appearance from Luke McCarry who was in excellent form over the weekend and Eoghan Kelly who had made it to his first final. Despite the confidence of his father portrayed in an interview during the mid session interval Luke lost out and it was Eoghan who went on to win the title. Due to some confusion it was Kyle Mc Garvey who was awarded with the highest checkout prize with a staggering checkout of 65 while others argued that it was in fact Luke who achieved the top checkout of the competition with a reasonably impressive 83.
