Tipperary's Dylan Slevin won the Munster darts derby against Limerick's Willie O'Connor on Friday night. It was a 3-1 victory for 22-year-old Slevin against his far more experienced opponent. 

Borrisokane native Slevin, who was knocked out in the opening round last year, was one of the final players to reach the World Championship, coming through the Tour Card Holder Qualifier in late November.
