Irish 60 x 30 Nationals 2011

Crossakiel to host Men’s C doubles and Men’s B quarter-finals

O’Reilly & Flanagan aiming for 60 x 30 National honours. Club’s U-17 doubles pairs face difficult assignments


The inaugural 60 x 30 Nationals are set to take place this weekend Crossakiel will host the Mens C doubles and some games in the Men’s B. The Club will be represented in the U-17 doubles with 2 teams. Conor Rice & Cormac Gilsenan couldn’t have asked for a tougher draw as they are down to face top players at underage level. Limerick’s Padraig Quish won the All-Ireland U-16 singles when he defeated Leitrim’s Donal Wrynn in the final while Eamon Davern partnered Padraig O’Carroll to win the Minor Doubles 60 x 30 All-Ireland last year. The experience will stand to them as they will see at first hand the level this grade is at. James Baugh & Gary Reilly have the easier draw but Carlow’s Martin Mullins & Barry McMahon will push the Crossakiel players all the way.

Eugene O’Reilly & Peter Flanagan will play the winners of Cormac McMahon & Brendan McCormack or Myles Carroll & Gary Balfe in the quarter final. O’Reilly & Flanagan should do well in the Nationals and will be hoping to push for honours in this grade. Most of the 13 grades finals will be played in Kells on Sunday
