Mullins and Murphy set for final showdown

Aidan Murphy and Christy Mullins will contest the Munster senior final on Sunday July 6 at Ballygurteen.

Mullins won an engaging contest with Gary Daly at Templemartin on Saturday, while Murphy dethroned Martin Coppinger in a lacklustre score at Grange on Sunday.

At Templemartin, Mullins got a good bowl to win the first tip by 50m. He pressed on with two good shots towards Slyne’s corner where he had almost a bowl. Daly had bare sight in four and beat Mullins’ shot past the bend by 10 metres to keep the lead under a bowl. Mullins got poor fifth and sixth shots and Daly cut the lead 70m under a bowl at O’Riordan’s.
