Martin O'Neill with Risp (Ireland) One Man and His Dog - Singles Final 1979 Run 1 of 2

[@michaeloneill3786]

That's my late Grandad who passed away when I was quite young. It's amazing to see himself and Risp in action, even if it wasn't their best run. We have the same stick he's using hanging up in the sitting room at home. If you had any more footage of Martin I'd love to see it - such as his win in the Singles final vs Mervyn Williams/Gail in Loweswater in 1977. Thanks so much for uploading this, it means a lot.
