O’Meara keeps composure to secure Munster crown at Donoughmore
He set the foundation for victory with a big opening shot to light. Ryan’s opener was 50m shy of light and he could only make the gates with his second. O’Meara got a great second past the return finish line to extend his lead. He scorched to the bounds in two more where he was within 20m of a bowl of odds. He made the lollipops past Ring’s corners with his fifth to go a bowl and 30m clear.
His next three to the long wall were not as impressive. Ryan didn’t make huge gains though, but he had he lead under a bowl at the start of the straight. O’Meara then got a brilliant bowl past the novice line to raise a bowl again. Ryan knocked the bowl in the shots to the end of the straight. O’Meara then missed light. Ryan had a chance to level, but just beat O’Meara’s tip.
