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.
