Daly has a bowl and more to spare at Drimoleague

Gary Daly beat Christy Mullins by over a bowl in the Kelleher-Hurley Cup at Drimoleague.

He won the first three shots to Caheragh cross. Mullins took his only lead with a good fourth to Crowley’s pillars. Daly was too tight with his reply there, but followed with a brilliant bowl to Crowley’s farm. Mullins beat that by just 20m in two throws. Daly went two bowls clear when he followed with a great shot to the farm lane.

He erred with his next and lost the second bowl, but continued to dominate. Mullins rallied with a good shot to the end of the straight followed by a perfect bowl to the wide road to cut the odds to an even bowl. Daly repulsed that rally with two big shots to the top of the hill past O’Driscoll’s where he had well over a bowl.
