O’Rourke triumphs in Cronin Cup final
He dominated the early part of the score after a good first shot from the timber yard. Fitzpatrick’s bowl lay second and hot favourite Daly was third. Daly pushed into second place with his second throw and the rest of the score was effectively a battle between himself and O’Rourke.
O’Rourke was still 20m fore of Daly after his fourth, with Fitzpatrick now almost a bowl down. He held his odds on Daly and raised a bowl on Fitzpatrick with his next shot to Falvey’s. Daly closed the odds to just three metres to the soccer field, with Fitzpatrick still well off the pace.
