Declan Cunningham 2006 winner

Donegal County player Declan Cunningham is the 2006 Benny Gillespie champion following a 5-0 victory over Andrew Gillespie in the first local tournament of the season held in Cashel last Saturday, with some great matches played through out the day, holder of the cup John McGinley was defeated in the first round by John Gallagher (who reached the Semis) on a low note only 32 players entered, let’s hope the rest of the local tournaments are better supported thanks to all who entered.
