O’Donoghue’s purple patch too much for O’Driscoll

SEAMUS SEXTON and Paddy O’Donoghue will meet in the Murphy’s Stout Munster Intermediate final.

On Sunday, Sexton beat David Hubbard by almost a bowl at Kilcorney while O’Donoghue defeated Patrick O’Driscoll by three bowls at Carraig na bhFear.

Hubbard had just one fore bowl against Sexton, when his powerful opening bowl took the first tip by two metres. Sexton responded with a great second shot. Hubbard delivered his second bowl too far to the right. Sexton raised almost a bowl with a good third to Cooney’s. He increased that to a full bowl in another two to Coleman’s bridge.
