  We demonsrate that the spectral curve of the matrix model for Chern-Simons
theory on the Lens space S^{3}/\ZZ_p is precisely the Riemann surface which
appears in the mirror to the blownup, orbifolded conifold. This provides the
first check of the $A$-model large $N$ duality for T^{*}(S^{3}/\ZZ_p), p>2.
