Results:

John Grimley v Shane Gribben:

Gribben started well and built a useful lead over his first couple of shots. Grimley was fortunate to rub before the bridge to keep the score level. There wasn’t much separating the pair round the cap, but a brilliant shot from Gribben out of the cap all the way to Allen’s raised nearly a bowl of odds, which he held to the top of the hill. Gribben gained a useful lead round Mary Ann’s, but let his next over the road. He redeemed himself with a powerful last shot almost scoring the line and won by a shot.

Fergal McCreesh v Seamus Conlon:

Both throwers were past the Point Road in two shots. McCreesh’s next fell short of the corner while Conlon’s was closer to Mary Ann’s. Conlon got good odds across the straight, but a good shot from McCreesh up the hill, gave him the lead. Conlon missed his chances past Allen’s, and was a shot out at the cap. McCreesh threw two pile-drivers to finish, opening the top corner from Toby’s Lane. There was no way back for Conlon, and he finished two shots out.

Darren Donnelly v Martin McGahey:

Donnelly was fortunate to rub round the corner, leaving McGahey nearly a bowl out. McGahey responded with a big shot past O’Neill’s to almost the bridge to level the score. Donnelly still held a slender lead all the way to Mullantur. From here, McGahey threw to nearly Harney’s, and when Donnelly missed Mary Ann’s from above Kilpatrick’s, McGahey had almost a shot to spare. Donnelly threw a good shot from Mary Ann’s to the Point Road, and McGahey was fortunate to get near the mark. Donnelly scored the line well with his next, and his bullet nearly trickled all the way down the hill. McGahey replied well to nearly the mark to record a last shot win.

Daniel Trainor v Shane O’Neill snr:

Neither of the throwers started well, with both of them taking five shots to get around Mary Ann’s corner. From here, Trainor improved a little putting his next to past Kilpatrick’s and then on to near the top of the hill. O’Neill was never far away, and the lead changed hands many times over the score. A good shot by Trainor into the cap, followed by another to near the bridge, raised a shot and odds. Again Trainor failed to capitalise, and with O’Neill producing two good shots to the top corner, the lead was suddenly down to odds. A good last shot, however, sealed the victory for Trainor when O’Neill failed to score with his last.
