Hannon's Hotel Christmas Singles .
Mac's of Roscommom player Gerry Murphy was the big winner at The Hannon's Hotel Christmas Singles Tournament held on Sunday last. A ''Houdini'' act in the final seen him beat Ballaghaderreen's Sean Fleming on a 6-4 scoreline- having been 4-0 down. Only a week ago Fleming lost in the final of The Tommy Kenny Cup, at Creaton's of Loughlynn, and on form would have been favourite in this final- but a battling Murphy conjoured up a little bit of Christmas magic to pull of a very memorable come back. Kenny Cup winner last week Mick Egan was out by the Last 16. Highest checkouts on the day were Martin Murphy 130,Thomas Concannon 128, Robbie Dolan 120, Paul Carton 113, Mark Finneran 112.

The youths Singles produced a very high quality final with cousins David and Thomas Concannon contesting it for honours. A 4-1 win for David was a bit flattering as Thomas was never too far behind at any stage. David's run in the Mens Singles was cut short by Sean Finan. Thomas' run ended at the Semi final stage to eventual winner Gerry Murphy.
