As a driving instructor he uses the slogan ‘with John Bail you can’t fail’ but he never needed the motivation of such a statement to himself at St. Mary’s today when he enjoyed a facile 21-0, 21-1 victory over Martin Kelly, Tipperary in the All Ireland Diamond Masters B Singles semi final.

This was never a contest as the Suirsider simply never got to grips with the occasion and when Bail got in to serve after losing the toss he only ‘came out’ again when he had reached 21. Kelly did avoid another doughnut in the second but will not have fond memories  of his trip to Wexford today.

John Bail will know the final against Columba Holleran, Mayo is likely to be very different in a few weeks time.
