Creedon, Murphy have top class wins

John Creedon and Aidan Murphy were the big winners over the weekend.

Creedon won the Mother Hegarty Cup final at Lyre on Sunday and Murphy had a double, securing his place in the Mick Barry Cup final at Ballincurrig and beating All-Ireland champion Martin Coppinger at Derrinasafa.

Creedon beat Gary Daly in the last shot in the Mother Hegarty Cup final despite opening with a short bowl. Daly was a bowl of odds clear after two brilliant bowls to the forestry. He took three more to make the hump though and Creedon clipped the odds to 60m. Creedon then got a massive bowl to Crowley’s farm but Daly beat it by 30m to hold the lead.
