Daly’s deadly finish enough to lift Roche Cup

Sexton won the opening shot from Bohane, following a poor first throw from Daly. Sexton was still ahead after the second. Daly then got a great third bowl, far enough to loft the first bend. He led across the next straight, with Bohane slipping back to third. Sexton closed the gap on Daly with a big bowl up the hill, with Bohane almost a bowl off the pace.

Sexton turned the score on its head with an incredible bowl at Shock’s corner that opened three bends. That catapulted him almost two bowls clear of Daly and two full bowls on Bohane. Daly cut the lead to a bowl at the rock. The lead was under a bowl facing Peake cross.
