Another Munster title for Lynch

IN midweek Glenbeigh’s Dominic Lynch bagged another Munster title when he defeated Tipperary’s David Hickey 2111, 21-6 in the 60 x 30 Over 35 A singles decider. The game was played before a big crowd in Ballymac and Dominic was happy with his performance.

“It was good to have the game in Ballymac and after a tight opening I did pull away a little. However I know that Mayo’s Joe McCann will be a tough opponent in the next round – the last 16 in the country.”

And Dominic was proved right as his campaign ended in the Last 16 of the All Ireland’s losing out to McCann 21-14, 21-14.

In the Munster 60x30 Junior B doubles quarter final the Ballymac duo of Daire Keane and Cian Counihan travelled to Cullen to take on Cork’s Shane Lynch and Jonathan Lucey and came away with a win following a cracking game that went all the way to a decider.

The Kerry duo lost the first game, 18-21andwere under pressure. But they showed great heart and skills to level the match with a 21-17 win and wrapped things up after another tight game winning 21-18. They will now face John Horgan and James Moakley of Cork in Hospital, County Limerick in mid-week.

This Sunday Jack O’Shea will bid to make the All Ireland 60x30 Junior A Singles final. He faces Cormac McMahon of Cavan at 1pm with a place in the decider the prize.
