Eoin Kennedy faces Dessie Keegan in All-Ireland Semi-Final this Weekend - Tue, 14 Aug 2007
Best of Luck to Eoin Kennedy as he takes on Mayo's Dessie Keegan for a place in this years softball singles final. Eoin who has performed very well in the qualifying games beat Wexford's Gavin Buggy by 21-1, 21-7 and Dessie Keegan's club mate Joe McCann by 21-5, 21-3 in the quarter-final. Kennedy who has 14 All-Ireland handball titles is aiming for a 4-in-a-row in the competition. Keegan beat Eoin in the Senior Hardball singles final last year but Kennedy retained it this year. Both Kennedy & Keegan were the first winners of the Italian One Wall final last year. Keegan won the Intermediate 60 x 30 singles title in 2002. Eoin Kennedy & Egin Jensen beat Dessie Keegan & Joe McCann in the 2005 Senior doubles final. Keegan defeated Rikki O'Gara in the first round by 21-4, 21-15 and in the quarter final was taken to 3 games before securing his semi final place with a hard earned win over his club mate Vinny Moran. Keegan has already a senior medal this year having won the Interclub title with Ballaghaderreen a few weeks ago. Kennedy who never has a bad game is playing very well at the moment and his greater skill and fitness should be enough to see off the Ballaghaderreen power house in Dessie Keegan. |
