Murphy and Bowen show their class

WORLD CHAMPIONS Aidan Murphy and Eamon Bowen Jnr shared the limelight at the weekend, winning their opening rounds of the Pat Barry Cup and the Mick Crowley Cup respectively.

Road champion Murphy had a tight call from Gary Daly in the Barry Cup at Donoughmore, where he won by just three metres in the last shot.

Daly started well, winning the first shot to light by 20m and increasing his lead to 50m with his second. He looked to heading for a bowl of odds until Murphy played a great fourth shot to the Bounds to cut the lead to 20m.
