They were locked together after two throws. Shorten played his next to the left and missed Brinny Cross. Bohane went through the cross with his third. He continued to lead in his next two to the gas line. Shorten won the following exchange to take his first lead by 10m. Bohane was back in front after his seventh to Perrott’s.

Shorten’s next bowl broke left and Bohane took a good lead with a great bowl to the GAA field. Shorten recovered with a good bowl to the bridge, which Bohane missed when his bowl was too tight on the left. Bohane followed with two poor shots that put him out of contention. After two more Shorten was two bowls clear and the contest was over.
