Nenagh teams gallant efforts fall just short
An heroic effort by Nenagh in the Munster Senior Cup final in Rushbrooke, Cobh on Sunday came up just short of delivering a third title when the home Rushbrooke team won 3/2 to claim its 26th title.
It was two matches all going into the Men’s Doubles but Frank O’Keeffe & David Hackett came out on the wrong side of an exciting three set match, losing 4/6. Earlier, the Nenagh pairings of Lena O’Connor & Anne-Marie Darcy and Lena O’Connor & David Hackett had recorded wins. The Nenagh team was Frank O’Keeffe, David Hackett, Lena O’Connor and Anne-Marie Darcy.
The senior cup was only one of many finals on Sunday, with Nenagh involved in two other finals but had to be content with the runner-up position in both. The Grade 5 Mixed team lost 2/3 to Dromahane. The ‘super-doubles’, which is used when a four match fixture is tied at two-all, decided the winner, with Dromahane defeating a gallant Nenagh team of Denis Ley, Gary Parsons, Emma Kearns and Siobhan Corcoran.
A similarly gallant effort by the Nenagh Grade 6 ladies team of Mary Gavin, Brid Morgan, Elaine Kelly and Margot Coghlan was unsuccessful against a good Tralee team in the final.
