Martin Coppinger will be a very strong favourite to win his second All-Ireland senior title when he faces off against defending champion Conor McGuigan at Derrinasafa, Dunmanway on Sunday.

Tony Carey beat Tony Dunlea by two bowls in the Munster veteran final at Kilcorney on Monday to set up an All-Ireland final meeting with Oliver Gribben, who retained his Ulster title on the same evening.

IT was show time for the GAA this week with the cream of Ireland’s clubs taking the stage at Croke Park on St. Patrick’s Day in the All-Ireland senior club finals.
