Daly gives outstanding display to take senior men’s title

With an Ireland-Netherlands two-day test at Skibbereen, the final of the John Cronin Cup and two Mick Barry Cup ties this was one of the busiest weekends of the year.

Gary Daly won the senior men’s title in Skibbereen. He gave an outstanding display on Sunday to beat Dutch player Jos Bert Aalbers by 41m. European champion David Murphy won bronze 37m ahead of his brother Aidan. David Murphy was the overnight leader by a few centimetres, but Daly beat his last shot on Sunday to leapfrog into gold.

Dutch players Jochen Wennink and Melle Analbers took the top two spots at u18. Munster champion Kieran Sexton won bronze. Wennink would have been in the top six in the senior section.
