2023 Pat Rawdon Champion with Amy Rawdon

The 2023 Pat Rawdon tournament was held in The Bayview Hotel, Killybegs on Saturday 16th where 42 players battled it out for the cup and shield titles and the €1,500 prize fund with some great matches and performances over the day especially from the young players who entered the event.

With both cup and shield holders unable to attend it was a chance for others to get their names on the cup/shield for the first time and it turned out that way. The cup final involved Ciaran McGeady and Alan Byrne both in their first final and it was McGeady who came out on top 6-1 continuing the fine form that got him to the final while Alan had some notable wins on his way to the final, losing semi-finalists were Alan Hegarty and last year’s runner up Dermot McGuire.

The shield competition (for preliminary round losers) final involved two of the inform players in the county Cartha Boyle (defeated 4-3 by Ciaran McGeady in the preliminary round) and Stephen Harron (defeated by Dermot McGuire 4-2 in the preliminary round) and they managed to avoid each other in the draws to get there. In a brilliant match Cartha came out on top 4-3 with a 130 checkout finishing on the bull to win a trilling match.
