Results - Cullen Cup Final

On a wet Saturday afternoon, Martin Rooney got the better of Stephen O'Neill in the Cullen Cup Final. It did not start too well for Rooney however, as after 2 throws he was only just past the Chapel gates. O'Neill failed to take advantage of this and only held a shot advantage at Mary Ann’s. With the score still level through Mullintur, Rooney played a great shot through the farm and another to the cap to leave just yards in it. O'Neill held the advantage through the bends, and up along the straight he still had 30 yards of a lead, but missing the corner in 3 from Toby’s lane proved costly, as Rooney won with a well played last shot to almost the church.

Back down the road, Maurice Rooney and Paddy O'Neill threw Anthony Rooney and Patrick Garvey in what appeared to be a very uneven score. The two first graders forged a head and were almost a full shot to the good out of the first corner. Garvey and Rooney tried their hardest to get back on level terms but were only able to level the score at Mary Ann’s. Here Garvey misplayed, giving the first graders a great chance, but Paddy O' lay behind the mark. With the two Rooney brothers going head to head, Maurice showed why Anthony is still in third grade by winning the shot by a good 40 yards, leaving the two Paddy’s to throw for the score. Garvey threw first and got half way down the hill, leaving O'Neill a tricky shot to win. His shot hit the bank and came out on to the middle of the road, but with the wet verges the bowl stopped a yard short to give the underdogs victory.
