Irish Junior Nationals 2015

Congratulations to Sophie O’Rourke (Highfield) and Roisin Kirwan (Dunhill) who won National titles at the Irish Junior Open 2015 in Belfast.

Sophie retained her U15 national title when defeating Ellie McVeigh (Belfast Boat Club) 11-6, 13-11, 13-11. This win means Sophie completed a clean sweep of wins in all the tournaments this season (All four Provincial Opens & The Irish Nationals) – a terrific achievement.

Roisin defeated Hannah McGugan (Ballynafeigh) 3/1 in a very close fought final – 9-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-9. Roisin adds the National title to her wins in the Munster and Leinster opens in what has been a great season for this improving young player.

In the the GU11 final Niamh Kirwan (Dunhill) put in a tremendous effort to finish runner-up to Aimee McConnell (Ballynafeigh).
