Bohane to lead Munster challenge at All-Ireland finals after win over Ryan

Michael Bohane will lead the Munster challenge at next weekend’s All-Ireland finals following his clear win over Raymond Ryan in Sunday’s intermediate final at Lyre.

Neither player got a great opening shot. They followed with three more to the school cross where Bohane led by five metres. He took control between there and the Mason’s Hill, where he had full sight in two throws. Ryan beat that second tip by just 15m in three to leave almost a bowl between them.

Bohane raised a full bowl by reaching the sight at the start of the Lyre straight in three more. At this point Ryan was struggling to stay in touch as he was hampered by a flare-up of a groin injury he picked up in the semi-final. Bohane took his lead well over a bowl after another three to the senior start line.
