O’Donovan rules the road to seal Barrett Cup victory
Hubbard opened with a good bowl to the church diamond, but O’Donovan’s bowl brushed and beat it by 70m. Hubbard got a good second shot to the top of the hill. O’Donovan was well placed to beat that, but he played his bowl onto the lawn on the right and missed the tip by 30m.
He was just shy of Lisangle cross with his next and Hubbard beat it by 70m with a good bowl through the cross. O’Donovan’s fourth just beat that tip by 20m to leave almost a bowl between them. Hubbard now had a chance to extend his lead, but he played his bowl to the right and beat O’Donovan’s tip by just 70m. O’Donovan then played a good bowl to the soccer pitch to cut the lead to 30m.
