Catriona denies Kelly the hat-trick
Mallon got the better of two good opening shots and shaded the next two tips. Kidney got poor fourth and fifth throws to miss light at Twynam’s and fell almost a bowl behind. Mallon’s next three were not great and Kidney closed the odds to the creamery lane. Mallon got the luckier break at McCann’s to push 70m clear again.
Kidney briefly led after a big next shot. Mallon regained the lead and followed with a great second last to beat Kidney’s tip by 50m. Kidney then produced the coup de grace with a magnificent bowl past the line. Mallon’s reply fell well short of that tip.
