Odhran Quinn from the Castleconor club has reached the quarter-finals of the Boys U-13 singles one-wall world championships following victory’s over James Smith & Conor McTeague. He now plays the no.2 seed Tiernan Agnew in the quarter-finals.

 In yesterday’s main finals Paul Brady the reigning world champion had to come from behind to defeated Luis Morena 21-19, 21-10 to secure his 4^th consecutive men’s open titles in a row. Brady was behind by 13-2 in the first game but stormed back to 14-16. Moreno jumped into an 19-14 lead but it was Brady that finished the stronger reeling off the next 7 points to win the first game. Into the second Moreno had an narrow lead of 6-3. Brady with some breathtaking kill shots went ahead and continued his relentless work rate to eventually win the second game by 21-10 and world title his fourth in 9 nine years. He won his first open title back in 2003 in Dublin. He announced it would be last world championships and if that is the case what a way to bow out.

 
In the ladies Aisling Reilly from Antrim defeated her clubmate Fiona Shannon in 3 absorbing games by 9-21, 21-6, 11-5 to claim her first open ladies title thus ending Shannon’s bid for a four in a row in the ladies.
