Irish champion Shane Lowry will face Mullingar's Dessie Morgan in the final of the West of Ireland Championship at Rosses Point.

The Esker Hills man beat Galway's Eddie McCormack 5 and 4 as Morgan survived a Paul O'Hanlon comeback to win 3 and 2 on a sun-kissed morning at County Sligo.

Lowry birdied three of the first five holes and was four up at the turn before a winning birdie at the par-five 12th put him in an unassailable position.

Morgan, 27, birdied the first, second and fifth and took the sixth with a par to go four up before O'Hanlon fought back.

The Newbridge man was conceded wins at the eighth and 10th before getting back to one down with a winning par at the 11th.

However, the next two holes proved crucial with both men agreeing to a half at the par-five 12th when they faced five putt putts for par.

At the par-three 13th, O'Hanlon fired his tee shot to just four feet but three-putted to go two down again and never got back into the match.

The final takes place at 1.30.
