O’Donovan in last-gasp Barry Cup quarter-final victory at Ballincurrig
He won the first two shots, but Bowen got a good third to Geary’s to draw level. They were still level at the no-play lines. O’Donovan’s left-hand pull militated against him up the straight and they were still locked together at the big corner. Little changed from there to the finish. Bowen had a narrow lead facing the line. O’Donovan’s last bowl stayed high on the road and ran into the green. Bowen’s bowl followed a similar path but did not have the speed to reach O’Donovan’s tip in the grass.
O’Donovan plays James Buckley in the semi-final, with James O’Donovan meeting Eamon Bowen Jnr on the other side.
