Fairhill win Division Two in last night drama

FAIRHILL Bar clinched the Logan's Removals Division Two title on a dramatic final night of the Ballymena, Harryville and District Darts League.

The Ahoghill side only needed a draw in their first versus second clash with Ladysmith Colts to secure the championship.

And in the end, it went down to the final game before Fairhill saw off the stubborn resistance of the Harryville side, who had to settle for runners-up spot.
