Results:

Anthony Rooney v Daniel Trainor:

With Kevin Daly not appearing, a speedy decision was made on the road to promote his opponent, Anthony Rooney, and throw his next round score against Daniel Trainor. Rooney’s short second shot left young Trainor with a valuable lead of almost a bowl at McKinney’s, but Rooney threw a big shot to the point of Mary Ann’s to nearly level the score. Trainor, however, was not to be denied, and used his superior speed up the hill to be nearly a bowl up after Mullantur. Rooney tried to regain the lost ground, but Trainor was still nearly a bowl up at the start of the cap. Trainor’s next, unbelievably, put the score over as a contest, when, from past Nesbitt’s lane he pulled his bowl to perfection and it sailed round the corners to almost Toby’s lane. With Rooney going nearly three shots out at this point, he decided to shake hands.

Back down the road in a hastily arranged three corner, Ronan McKenna and Paddy O’Neill got the better of Anthony Rooney and Martin Rooney and Danny Trainor and Kevin Daly.

Patrick Garvey and Michael O’Neill v Cormac Garvey and Ethan Rafferty:

The afternoon challenge was a somewhat depleted affair with the main senior protagonists not appearing. Patrick and Cormac Garvey stepped into the breach and a very tight and interesting score ensued. Some very big shots were thrown by all throwers and nothing could separate the two sides all the way to Mary Ann’s corner. Here Michael O’Neill produced a miler to almost the Point Road to help his team on the road to victory, recording a last shot win.
