Congratulations to McKenna's trio (pictured right) off Stephen Johnston, Ivan Christie and Damian McGarrell who have just won the
Sixmilewater 3 A sides title.
They eased through their Semi Final by a 5-0 scoreline to set up a mouth watering Final against the Fountain trio (bottom right) of Colin Bingham, Mark Campbell and William Campbell, who had a 5-2 victory in their Semi Final.

Both teams had won their Semi Final ties by 3-1 to set up a much anticipated final. And what a final it was. The Maddens boys led 3-0 and had a straightforward finish on to make it 4-0 and take the title, but they didn't close it out and young Declan finished to bring it back to 1-3. It then went to 2-3 as James took out an 8 ball clearance in frame 5. And he repeated the dose in frame 6, another 8 baller to level the match at 3-3. The deciding frame, and soon the dream had come true as the McKenna's pairing wrapped up frame and match to deservedly become the 2011 Champions. It's a great boost for Declan, who was outstanding the whole night, before he heads off to Bridlington in April with the Northern Ireland Under 21 Team for the European Masters.
