With An Bol Fada in full swing over the Easter Holidays, a couple of challanges were all the scores that took place on Sunday morning. First up was the interesting rematch between Maurice Rooney & Paddy O'Neill who threw Anthony Rooney and Patrick Garvey. The pairs had previously locked horns a couple of weeks earlier with the latter being victorous by just a yard. After a fairly even start Garvey and Rooney began pulling away from the other two with Garvey throwing a big shot to the foot of the hill and two more put them well over the hill. Rooney and O'Niell were struggling to stay in the score with some poor throwing but fortunate touches of the verges kept them in touch. And they had a great chace to level the contest round the cap corner when first Garvey and then Rooney threw two poor throws, but with Maurice missing his throw and Paddy O' unable to beat Tobys lane, the lead remained intact along the straight and round the last corner where the score was won on the last shot with Garvey beating O'Neills mark easily.

Back down the road Cormac Garvey and Saran Daly threw Conor McGuigan and wee Mick O'Neill. McGuigan seemed all at see in the early stages and appeared to be suffering a hang over from the previous day where he held the Tullysaran flag aloft in his victory over Young Murphy from Cork in the first score in the Bol Fada. Wee Mick was not at his usual good self either and after Garvey threw a miler out of the first score, the first of 3 bowls was risen. One soon became 2 past the farm and then the third bowl of odds was risen at Mary Anns. With the last couple of throws a formality, the steady throwing of young Saran proved to be the difference as he and Garvey ran out comfortable winners.
