Murphy too strong for Daly at Lyre
Daly got a brilliant first shot to the soccer pitch that Murphy missed by 80m. Murphy recovered immediately with a great bowl to the forestry entrance, which Daly missed when he played his reply to the left. Daly cut the odds to just 10m with a good third shot. Murphy kept control in the next two to the hump and he reached Crowley’s bend in another two to go almost a bowl in front.
He played his next bowl to the right and was lucky to make peeping sight past the concrete. He missed McCarthy’s bend with his next, but was still very much in control. A great rub with his tenth bowl past the tunnel pushed him almost two bowls clear. He raised a second bowl with his next and Daly conceded.
