Last shot win for Cooney in Béal na mBláth

PJ Cooney and Arthur McDonagh had the first two wins of the 2013 Munster intermediate championship at the weekend.

Cooney had the first victory of 2013 when he beat Liam O’Sullivan in the last shot with William O’Driscoll by a bowl third at Béal na mBláth on Saturday.

O’Sullivan won the first two tips, but Cooney took the next two. O’Sullivan then took a 70m lead on Cooney with a great fifth towards Shorten’s cross, with O’Driscoll already trailing by a bowl. He was still 40m clear of Cooney at Long’s lane, with O’Driscoll rallying with three good shots to be just 70m further back.
