Leinster

John Ross Crangle won a third successive Leinster Senior Gents title in St Bridgets this afternoon after a 7&6 win over fellow Dubliner Jim Judge Jnr in the decider.

            The Intermediate Final was an all Collinstown affair as Martin Carter and Darren Reilly did battle. Carter was victorious on a scoreline of 3&2 after winning an epic semi-final with Derek Ryan of St Pats 1up. Reilly had been a 7&6 victor over McDonagh’s John Doran in the other semi-final. The Junior Grade was decided at the last hole as McDonagh’s Anthony Ryan defeated Granard’s Richard Burke by the tightest of margins, 1up. Ryan had been an 8&7 winner over Declan Penrose of Collinstown in his semi-final while Burke had defeated St Pats’ Ruairi Fortune by 5&3 in their semi-final.

            The Intermediate grade saw Deerpark’s Jason O’Brien win a second consecutive Munster Matchplay crown after winning the Junior competition back in 2013. Jason came from three down to defeat Douglas’ Cian Morrison 2&1 in the decider having earlier comprehensively defeated Paul Collins of Majestic in their semi-final by 8&6. Cian recovered from a seven hole deficit at one point against St Annes Martin O’Sullivan to win by 2&1 in his semi-final.
