Buckley was well short of Foley’s with his next and Hubbard got a good bowl to peeping sight. Hubbard lofted a nice lead there. Buckley’s next was caught left at the nooks. Hubbard replied with a great bowl to Perrott’s to go almost a bowl in front.

Hubbard played his next into the hole at Perrott’s wall. Buckley hit back with a great bowl. That put him back in the frame until Hubbard got a massive bowl to Innishannon cross which put him almost a bowl clear again.
