Tough start for our Super Seniors

Liam O’Shea took his Super Seniors team to Old Conna this afternoon in the first round of the defense of the title won last year.

It was a tough start for the team who would much prefer to have been playing in more summer-like conditions.

Our first pair out were Cathal Cooney & Jerry Teehan who took up where they left off last year with a strong performance and at 3&1 win.  The normally excellent  pair of Alan O’Sullivan & Finbar Fay were out second and they came up just short, losing out on the 18th. Jim Ryan & Vincent Prendergast were up against a strong pair found themselves one down playing the 18th but were unfortunately unable to get a half match.  Pat O’Regan & Pat Raftery were a strong pair in last years successful campaign and they came up trumps again today, winning their match 2&1.  Our final pair of Eddie Joynt & Denis Cromie were unlucky not to get at least a half, losing on the 18th.

So an overall loss 3 to 2, but with three matches having been decided on the 18th it could have easily gone our way on a another day.

Next up will be a match against Delgany on May 5th.
