It
was a purrfect ending for the Pumas in their exciting victory over a most
unlucky Jaguar team in the final of the New Ross Intermediate Club team
championships. Going into the final game of the night the Jaguars
led by 8-6, but victory for Jason Larkin and Aoife Bennett over Joseph
Meggs and Jenny Parker tied the match at 10-10 and the Pumas took the
title by virtue of having scored 175 to 162 aces. The match started
well for the Pumas with Joseph Sinnott and Raymond Breen defeating the
Jaguars top pairing of
Sue Barrett
and Ella Bigos 11/9, 11/3. The Jaguars response was swift and at the
half way point they led 6-4 with Eoin Murphy and Eoghan Cashin winning
11/6, 11/8 against Liz Murphy and Helen Moore, Claire Mernagh and Joseph
Meggs overcoming Niall Parker and Jason Larkin 11/6, 7/11, 11/7 and
Kenneth Redmond and Jenny Parker defeating Colin Fenlon and Aoife Bennett
6/11, 11/10, 11/7. I t was looking even better for the Jag’s when
Sue Barrett
and Eoin Murphy defeated Joseph Sinnott and Liz Murphy 11/3, 11/8, but
from here till the end it was all Pumas. Raymond Breen and Helen
Moore defeated Ella Bigos and Eoghan Cashin 9/11, 11/4, 11/2, Niall Parker
and Colin Fenlon overcame Claire Mernagh and Kenneth Redmond 11/8, 1/11,

The Tornados literally blew away
the Comets in the final of the novice team championships with some scintillating badminton. It all went
wrong for the Comets from the very first game when Valerie Roche and Declan
Burke secured a 4-1 lead for the Tornados when they defeated the Mother/son
partnership of Greta and Peter Meggs. It was an uphill struggle from
then on for the Comets and things went from bad to worse when Ann Sullivan and
Bernadette Phelan increased the Tornados lead wining 4-0 over Theresa
Fenlon and Frances Murphy. The Tornados could now relax and they increased
their lead even further when Valerie Roche and Ann Sullivan defeated Peter Meggs and
Theresa Fenlon 3-0. The Comets recovered somewhat in the final match when
Greta Meggs and Frances Murphy defeated Declan Burke and Bernadette Phelan 4-0
to leave the final score 10-5 in favour of the Tornadoes.
