James O’Donovan won the Willie Whelton Cup at Grange on Sunday where he comfortably beat Michael Bohane and Aidan Murphy.

Murphy won the opening shot with just 15m separating him from Bohane in third. O’Donovan reached Whelton’s with his second, exploiting poor shots from both his opponents. Bohane made the stud farm with his third, but Murphy got another poor one to fall almost a bowl behind O’Donovan. O’Donovan misplayed his third too and didn’t get full sight at the stud farm.
