George O Hara from Fairview SC in Dublin made it two out of two when he won the RIBSA second Intermediate ranking event of the season in the Tralee Snooker Club in County Kerry on the 9th of November.
Just like in the first event in the Darcy McGees last month, George O Hara beat the same opponent John Torpey from St Johns SC in Limerick 3 frames to 1 in a great final.
Semi Finals
In the semi finals George beat Benny O Brien from Kilkenny Shed 3-1 while John beat Joe Purcell from Rathkeale SC 3-2 in the other semi final. Benny and Joe now qualify for the Grand Finals later in the year.
