Gary wins battle of Dalys to secure last eight spot

Gary Daly secured his place in the Munster senior quarter-final draw with a good win over Bill Daly at Clashmore on Sunday.

He won the first two to the tarmac and increased his lead to 40m with his third through the cross. Bill Daly closed the gap with his next. Gary looked set to push clear again, but his perfectly played fifth veered in before the boreen to leave them virtually level.

Neither player got a good bowl from there, but Gary followed with a good bowl over the top of the hill to gain a valuable lead. He lost some of his advantage with his next shot, but regained a 50m lead facing Mulcahy’s cross. Bill got a super shot to there and cut the lead to a few centimetres.
