Séamus Conneely and Conor Noone have won the 2025 All-Ireland 40x20 Junior Doubles title.

Their victory has ended a 21-year wait for a Galway Junior Doubles champion. The last win for Galway coming in 2004 when Ollie and Pat Conway claimed the title. Galway are now four-time winners of the Junior Doubles All-Ireland, the other victories coming in 1977 and 1979.

The Moycullen pair, Séamus and Conor won in two straight games, 21-9, 21-17, against their opponents Seán Coughlan and Ciarán Malone from County Clare. It was all the sweeter for the Galway lads as they were narrowly defeated in last year's final.

Both players have now been promoted to Intermediate.
