O’Donoghue Wins Senior Event 2

Brendan O Donoghue won the second ranking event of the season when he beat Greg Casey from Cork 5 frames to 4 in an exciting final in the Northwest Snooker Club in Letterkenny Co. Donegal.

There were 65 entries in the draw for the second tournament of the year in Letterkenny last weekend, unfortunately 13 players failed to turn up and only 4 of these informed the tournament director.  For those who did travel to Letterkenny it was a very enjoyable weekend.
