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.
