ANALYSIS OF THIRD ROUND RESULTS
The match of the third round was the encounter between Anthony Bonnar and Jack McGranaghan. The two former champions served up a classic duel in which Anthony eventually came out on top.
Paddy McGroarty was in scintillating form in eliminating multiple champion Paul Gallagher. His run of 69 in the final frame was as assured as it was polished.
Young Johnny Connors couldn't stop the march of defending champion Phelim McClafferty who proved too hot on the night for the thirteen year old.
Gerry McCloskey was clinical in disposing of third seed Pat Bonnar in two frames. He is on course to emulate his semi-final run of last year.
Other winners included Paul Doherty who is potting as well as ever, Joe Devine whose centuries have raised his confidence level immeasurably, Gerry McKeever who is ageing like fine wine and finally Tom Plunkett who is Donegal Town's last hope in this year's championship.
