With Kevin Daly injured, there was no tournament score up the road. A challenge score with father and son, Danny and Daniel Trainor took on brothers Martin and Anthony Rooney. The Trainor’s were on top form early on opening Mary Ann’s in three and went on to win an easy victory at the cap. The Rooney’s had their revenge, however, winning the short score from the cap to the line on the last shot.

Colm McGahan v Ciaran Mullen:

After a shaky start, Mullan produced a great third shot all the way to the bridge to get him back in the running. Generally the standard was pretty good, with the throwers matching each other all the way to Mary Ann’s. From here McGahan pulled his shot over the road, opening the door for Mullan, who took his chance with a well played bowl to the Point Road. This looked to be enough, but McGahan produced a miler from the houses, almost scoring the line. When Mullan failed to score from the Point Road, this left a last shot finish. Mullan reached the junction and failed to come off the bank, while McGahan’s bowl ran off the bank winning narrowly.

With more non-showers in the afternoon, it was left for Maurice Rooney to throw Aidan Early in an uneven affair. Rooney proved a bit strong and ran out a comfortable winner.

Eugene Donnelly v Seamus Crowe:

Donnelly proved to be the steadier of the pair. Putting his obvious experience to use, he raced into an early two bowl lead. Crowe tried hard to reduce the deficit, but couldn’t put it together on the day, leaving Donnelly to run out a comfortable winner.
