Double for US as Munster outgunned

Two titles for the USA and one for Connacht was the surprise outcome of the third All-Ireland series in Newtownhamilton and no Munster champion from the series for the second year running.

Double for US as Munster outgunned

Adrian Lappin had a comfortable win over London’s Kevin Coughlan in the Junior C final and his teammate Florry O’Mahony lifted the Novice I title at the expense of Leinster champion Peter Clinton (Louth). David Hughes brought the Novice II title to Mayo following a good win over Ulster champion Paul Grimley.

After three highly competitive championships in Munster, it was a major shock that none of the three made the final. David Shannon’s defeat in the Junior C was probably the most surprising, from an Ulster perspective the defeat of Mark Toal in the other semi-final was equally unexpected.
