O’Donovan makes Bauravilla finish in 16 throws
He opened with two good shots to the cross, putting himalmost a bowl clear after Murphy played both his first two to the right. He kept up the momentum towards the netting and was peeping sight at the rock in seven where his lead was almost two bowls. He followed with a big shot to Deasy’s to push his lead to two bowls and 30m.
Murphy rallied with a great bowl to sight at the bridge. O’Donovan played his bowl to the left but rubbed to bare sight. He made O’Sullivan’s with his next. Murphy hit back with a bowl over the height to the lag in the road to cut the lead to less than a bowl.
