James Cooney steals the show with big win over Murphy

James Cooney was the star of the Munster Junior A action last weekend, beating Michael Murphy by three bowls after a scintillating 10 shot salvo at Whitechurch on Sunday.

That win gained him a semi-final spot. James Nagle is in the semi-final too after a good win over Eoin O’Riordan at Derrinasafa. Jerry Gibbons and Johnny O’Driscoll won the last two Munster slots.

Gibbons beat John Young by a bowl in the West Cork final at Togher Cross and O’Driscoll won the South West final in the last shot against Ian Callanan at Grange.
