Michael O’Donoghue made a successful return to championship when he beat Cillian Kelleher in Pool One of the Munster Premier Junior championship at Ballyhooly.

Kelleher won all the early shots, but did not exploit O’Donoghue’s hesitant start. He had 40m odds after a big first throw. He lost ground with his second, but pushed his odds to 100m with a fine third one. O’Donoghue levelled with a great shot to the double bends.
