Ballymote's future stars Laura & Conor Finn who took part in the recent One-Wall Nationals finals in Castlebar last week.
Aoife Quinn wins plate final in One-Wall
Nationals as Conor & Laura Finn make their debuts
In the Irish One Wall Nationals held in
Breaffy House in Castlebar. Sligo were
represented by Odhran, Oisin & Aoife Quinn from the Castleconnor Club
together with Laura & Conor Finn from Ballymote making their debuts in the
One-Wall Nationals
Odhran was beaten by Cork’s Eoghan
Sheehan 18-14. In the plate Odhran partnered Ciaran Faulkner but were narrowly
defeated by Gavin Coyle & Jack Tobin 21-19.
Aoife lost her opening match to Eimear
Beatty. Exam commitments didn’t help her preparation but had better luck in the
plate when teaming up with Kildare’s Hannag Dagg winning the plate final 16-8
over Mairead Kenny & Doireann Murphy.
Also
representing Sligo were Laura & Conor Finn from the Ballymote Club. Conor
took part in the Boys U-11 Singles grade. Conor won 2 out of his 3 contests
before losing out to a Roscommon opponent 31-14. Laura Finn took part in the
girls U-13 grade and in her first round easily overcame her Galway opponent. Laura
was defeated 22-14 by Tyrone’s Elizabeth
McGarvey the eventual runner up in this grade. The Finn’s making their
competitive debut in the nationals equipped themselves very well and no doubt
we will be hearing much more about the “flying handball Finn’s from Ballymote
in the years ahead
