Brady rules the world again

He promised a fairytale ending to his international career, and Paul Brady was as good as his word as he delivered a career-best showing to see off American Luis Moreno at CityWest last night.

But the Cavan man was forced to do it the hard way when he rallied from a huge deficit to see off the hot-shooting American number one Luis Moreno.

Twenty-four-year-old Moreno played some of the best handball of his career in that opening game. He gave an exhibition of attacking handball early on and led 13-2, with the champion looking nervous and struggling to find any kind of potent serve.
