Connacht 40×20 Juvenile B Championship

The 2013 Connacht 40×20 Juvenile B Championship came to its conclusion on Saturday with the finals played in Ballaghadereen and Charlestowm. Cormac Scollan was the only Leitrim competitor to reach the finals and he came away with the Boys u11 title defeating Niall Flemming of Mayo on a scoreline of 15-6, 15-10. In a very entertaining match with some great rallies and kill shots Scollan eased to victory to take the first game. The second game was much tighter early on with both players swapping scores, but once Scollan took the lead he never relinquished it. Flemming put up a real battle but midway through the game Scollan took control and put enough daylight between them to secure a great victory. On his route to the final he defeated Conor Finn of Sligo 15-10, 15-12 in the quarter final and Colm Cunningham Galway 15-6, 15-2 in the semi-final.

 

Leitrim had a total of 11 competitors taking part in the championship including: Fergal McLoughlin and James Wrynn u11 Doubles, Eoin McLoughlin u12, Robert Maguire u13, David Wrynn u14, Aaron McLoughlin u15, James Maguire and Conor McKeon u15 Doubles Tony Simms u16 and  Mark Leddy u17. All players reached the semi-finals against a stronger Galway selection with Mark Leddy losing out to Eamon OMaoilchianain in the u17 Final.
