Determined Glancy puts Goodall out

MAYO’S Daniel Glancy made it a memorable second day on the trot for home players in the Green Property Irish Men’s Open at Fitzwilliam yesterday.

Following Dubliner John Morrissey’s shock win over Georgia’s 1,235-ranked Lazare Kukhalashvili on Monday, Glancy yesterday dumped out top seed, Britain’s Josh Goodall.

Glancy entered his opening round contest against Goodall rank outsider, positioned almost 600 places behind his opponent in the world rankings.. But the 976-ranked Castlebar native showed that heart and determination can go a long way towards offsetting a considerable rankings deficit as he ensured that 379-ranked Goodall’s name would not be figuring in the draw for the second round.
