What a final we witnessed last night at Nevins Bar Newport 🎯🔥

Johnny O Donnell showed incredible composure under pressure to claim the title after a high-quality battle against Ultan McDyer.

Johnny’s consistency throughout the tournament was clear to see, combining heavy scoring with clinical finishing when it mattered most. His ability to control legs and maintain momentum proved decisive in the closing stages of the final.

Ultan pushed him all the way with some superb scoring phases and relentless pressure throughout the match. His run to the final showcased serious quality and determination, making this one of the standout contests of the competition.

Both players brought a fantastic standard to the night and gave the crowd a final worthy of the occasion 👏🎯

Witness the final shots of the night to push Johnny over the line! 🏆
