Young Hugh McCoy defied the odds at the Navan Road when overcoming hot favourite, Jarlath Devlin in the 2010 Fairylands B&B Martin Mc Keown Memorial Cup. It was Devlin that started the brighter and had the advantage in the early stages. However, some misled bowls from both players left things "neck and neck" at "Ted's Lane". It was shot for shot all the way to "Loughrans". However, a superb last shot from McCoy won the day. It's fair to say that young McCoy was not at his brilliant best today but will in no doubt be in better fettle come the latter stages of this prestigious tournament. NRBA. 19-09-10.
