UNSTOPPABLE McCARTHY 4 IN A ROW
Ronan McCarthy has retained the BETMcLEAN Mens Northern Ireland Individual Blackball title with a blistering display in the Strormont Hotel, Belfast on Sunday 25th January. The County Down man won 38 frames for the loss of only 7 on his way to his fourth Championship win in a row. Belfast's Rab McCullough also excelled in reaching the final with some fantastic results on his way but McCarthy wasn't going to be denied his moment, the only question is can someone stop the great man making it 5 in a row next year. Its another fantastic Double for McCarthy as he also won the Seniors title earlier in the day defeating Larne's Bill McIlroy in the Final
