Cooney clinches intermediate final spot
Hubbard got a short opening bowl, but Cooney beat it by just ten metres. They both made sight with their second shots, with Cooney just five metres fore. Hubbard played his next bowl to the right and got a very short shot. Cooney punished him with a good third bowl to peeping light at the doctor’s.
Hubbard got a good fourth, which helped him make Daunt’s in two more. Cooney took three to cover the same road and was now just ten metres fore again. They diverged dramatically in the next few shots. Cooney got two good bowls to within 50m of the creamery, while Hubbard missed it in three. This put a bowl between them after nine and ten to the creamery cross.
