Top seed Healy proves too good for Kennedy

CORK’S Tony Healy cemented his place as top seed when defeating Dublin’s Eoin Kennedy to take his third consecutive senior men’s crown at the Envirogreen Resource Nationals in Kilkenny yesterday.

Kennedy sustained an injury to his quad during what was a heated semi-final victory over Antrim’s Ricky McCann.

But he battled through the pain barrier and took the opening game 21-17.
