Oliver goes into overdrive to claim win over Sexton

James Oliver had a surprisingly easy win over Séamus Sexton in yesterday’s All-Ireland intermediate final at Port Mór-Blackwatertown, Armagh.

That completed an excellent weekend for Ulster with four wins from six in which they claimed the four top titles. Only Mairéad O’Driscoll (girls u18) and Conor Creedon (boys u14) raised flags for Munster.

In the intermediate final Oliver quickly took control. Sexton was wayward with his fourth and missed the orchard bend to fall two bowls down. He was still two adrift at the long lane.
