Eoin Kennedy in the finals shake-up again

St Brigid’s clubman Eoin Kennedy has qualified again for the All-Ireland Hardball semi-finals to be played this weekend. Eoin will face Seamus O'Carroll in the semi-finals on Saturday. The star player underlined his status as the country's top 60x30 player when he booked his place in the semi-finals of both the Senior Singles and Senior Doubles sections of this year's GAA All-Ireland Hardball Championships on the larger court.

At Ballymore Eustace, Co. Kildare, the defending Senior Singles champion and No. 1 seed, showed his true class when he defeated young Limerick ace, C. J. Fitzpatrick (Broadford), in a hard-fought quarter-finals clash over two games. In the first game, Kennedy, who has dominated these championships for most of the last decade, produced his full array of lethal kill shots and silken passing shots, allied to his trademark serve, overwhelming Fitzpatrick and closing the game out on an emphatic score line of 21-4.

The second game proved to be a much tighter affair, with both players swapping point-for-point, but despite a battling display from the Limerickman, the Dubliner forged ahead, to seal victory, on a still decisive score line of 21-14. Kennedy was in action again, the following day at the same venue when he linked-up with ace long-term doubles partner, Egin Jensen to defeat ace Galway duo, Pat and Ollie Conway in another hard-fought quarter-finals clash, over two games, on a score line of 21-11, 21-11. More success beckons for this local man.
