Hard luck to NRBA's Fergal McCreesh who fell at the penultimate hurdle last weekend in the All-Ireland Novice Semi-Final in Westport. Co.Mayo. On a tricky road which was heavily "chipped", Fergal got off to an unlucky start and could never peg back the pace setters and was beaten by a bowl of odds at the end. However, Fergal can be extremely proud of his haul in 2011 as a Ulster Novice Title is a real lift for the Association. We look forward to 2012 with great anticipation. NRBA.
