Sligo doubles pair to rumble Cork in semi-final

Diamond Masters A Doubles: Seamus Duffy & Pat O’Sullivan (Sligo) v Dan O’ Brien & Mick Jordan (Cork)
The Diamond Masters pairing of Seamus Duffy & Pat O’Sullivan are attempting to reach this year’s doubles final. Already the duo are the holders of 2 All-Ireland doubles titles having won the Emerald Masters B 60 x 30 doubles in 2006 and followed this up two years later winning the 40 x 20 equivalent. The Sligo men had a stunning comeback in the Connacht final winning an exciting Provincial decider by 21-20, 21-12 over Roscommon’s Noel Raftery & Seamus McHugh. The duo have forged a great partnership in recent years. The weekend’s battle with the Cork men will provide a stern test for the Sligo players. Duffy & O’Sullivan will have benefited from a tough Connacht final battle and it may be just enough for the Yeats County men go on and reach their 3rd All-Ireland final appearance in 5 years.
