Junior B Doubles 1st Round
Thursday 14th January, Ballymore Eustace, Co.Kildare
Eugene O'Reilly/Peter Flanagan (Meath) dft Mick Donovan/Ronan Green (Wexford) 21-8, 21-10.
The Crossakiel/Kells partnership of Eugene O’Reilly and Peter Flanagan started off this year’s Leinster 40x20 doubles championship with a good win in Ballymore Eustace against Wexford pairing Mick Donovan and Ronan Green from the Barntown Handball Club, located just outside Wexford town.
The Wexford pair scored the first ace of the game to go 1-0 up, but Meath then took control and once they regained the serve they then went into the lead and dominated the first game thanks to some fine serving from Flanagan. The first game finished 21-8 in favour of Meath duo.
The second game started off slow for the Meath pair, going 5-0 down but they regained their composure and reeled in the scores to level at 5-5. From then on, this game was a much tighter affair with neither side seemingly able to find any rhythm, but then the Meath lads started to show their class. With the scores tied at 10-10 Wexford went in to serve, but with a well placed defensive shot deep into the left corner from O’Reilly and then a nice kill from him to the front right the Meath men regained the serve without dropping a single ace. This passage of play seemed to spur them on and they closed out the second game 21-10 to take the match.
