the Over 40 European Snooker Championships held at the Ivy

were represented at this prestigious event. Cooney beat the defend-

was beaten 5 -1 by former World No.5 and ex professional Darren

work to reach the semi final of a major tournament such as the
European Championship. This is a great achievement for Brendan.
He has done himself and Youghal CYMS proud once again. The
