Coppinger fancied to lift All-Ireland crown at Dunmanway
In the Munster final, against Christy Mullins, he didn’t produce his best bowling till the latter stages. He played some well below par bowls up to Cullinane’s lane where he was a bowl of odds behind. It contrasted sharply with his 2010 Munster final when he dominated every aspect of the score with raw power and voracious hunger.
But he will need to be much sharper and focused from the toss next Sunday. A bowler of his stature, power and experience should relish the open road to Ross.
