Cian Boyle enjoys Munster success

Cian Boyle significantly enhanced his rising reputation by winning the Munster Junior B final against Pat Callanan at Killumney.

He won the opening shots by 15m. Callanan followed with two great throws to lead by 40m. Boyle’s fourth only reached the double gates. Callanan didn’t take advantage, but he did much better with his next to extend his lead to 80m. Boyle replied with a poor bowl and beat the tip by just 20m to leave almost a bowl between them.

Boyle rallied with a brilliant seventh, but Callanan beat it by 80m. Boyle was almost a bowl down again when he beat that by just 20m. Neither player followed with a good shot and the lead was now even closer to a bowl.
