The Wexfordman felt he should have done better in that opening game but after dominating the second to level the match, he ran out of steam in the third against an extremely fit opponent and was beaten on a 21-14, 12-21, 21-1 scoreline that did scant justice, not only to his efforts on the day, but to his season as a whole.
