Ruby Masters Singles: Paddy Walsh (Sligo) lost to Seamus Graham (Antrim) 7-21, 2-21.
Disappointment for Walsh in final
Sligo’s Paddy Walsh suffered a heavy defeat in the final of the Ruby Masters Singles final in Abbeylara on Sunday last. Walsh couldn’t unhinge Graham who used the spin serve to telling effect. Graham opened up an 7-2 lead in game one but Walsh fought back to only 7-6 behind. It didn’t get any better for the Sligo player as Graham who perfected the spin serve from the legendary Clare man Pat Kirby opened up a sizeable lead and Walsh was powerless to respond. Graham went on to the take game 1 by 21-7 and the second impressively by 21-2. Walsh will now turn his thought to the forthcoming 60 x 30 season where normally the Sligo players fare better.

Diamond Masters A doubles final
Seamus Duffy & Pat O’Sullivan (Sligo) v Ned Buggy & Gareth Somers (Wexford)
The doubles pairing of Seamus Duffy & Pat O’Sullivan travel to Nenagh to take on Wexford duo of Ned Buggy & Gareth Somers. Duffy & O’Sullivan’s semi-final match did not materialise owing to an injury to one of their opponents. Duffy & O’Sullivan already the holders of 2 All-Ireland titles had a fantastic Connacht final win when getting the better of Roscommon’s Noel Raftery & Seamus McHugh by 21-20, 21-12. The duo will have to produce something like their best form if they are to become treble All-Ireland champions in the space of 5 years
