Egan Wins 2010 Kelly Cup
Mick Egan won the Martin Kelly Memorial Cup for the second time with a 6-2 win over Sean Corcoran in the final.

Egan survived a big test against clubmate Jimmy Reilly in the last 16, before beating Sean Fleming in the last 8. One break of throw was enough to win a top class semi-final 5-2 against Thomas Concannon. Concannon included a 144 checkout - the highest of the day in this match.

Corcoran came through his board with decent wins against Paul Carton and Tommy Beirne, before taking a good 5-3 win in his semi-final against Noel Reilly. This game was tied at 3-3, but a superb 121 checkout in leg 7 swung the game his way.

The final didn't quite live up to the the standard of the semis, but Egan did more than enough to take the win, with more consistent scoring and decent finishing, including a 112 checkout in leg 6, and an 84 checkout to seal a 6-2 win.




There were 36 entries on the day.
