The finals of the January squash competition, sponsored by The Aquila Club, saw Team Connie versus Team Domo.
The first encounter of the night was a good curtain-raiser with Maree Molan taking on Tadhg Hickey and the latter had a bit more on the night and won 3-0.
Young Noah Counihan outplayed Stephen Moore in the first two games of their match and while Stephen mounted a challenge in the third, it was to no avail and Team Domo had a 2-0 lead on the night.
Ray O’Callaghan was pitched against Patrick Lyne, two seasoned players, but responsibility fell to Ray to get Team Connie back on track and he won 3-0.
Ken Malone was next on the march to try and even things out against a great clubman Neil Kavanagh. Ken took an early two nil lead but Neil was having none of it and brought it back to 2-2. It was down to the wire but two tired players played the fifth game, with Ken narrowly wining out for his team.
With the team score at 2-2 it was all down to the captains to battle it out with Connie Doyle facing Domagoj Rac.
Connie, another great clubman with great knowledge of the game, was up against it against top-level player Domo whose enthusiasm and fitness got him an early 2-0 lead.
Connie turned on the style and got one back to make it 2-1 but Domo shook off the comeback and finished well to take the win for his team at 3-1.
