DONAL RIORDAN turned the Munster Intermediate semi-final on its head with two astonishing bowls against Michael Bohane at Grange.

Riordan turns on the power to advance to intermediate final

He won the first three shots to the stud farm. Bohane took a 70m lead after two more to Holland’s wall. Riordan hit back with a great sixth to light at de Barra’s, but Bohane beat it by 60m. Riordan misplayed his next to the right to leave almost a bowl between them. Bohane didn’t make the school cross with his next, but Riordan missed the tip to fall a bowl behind.

He made up for this with a brilliant loft that pushed his bowl to Hegarty’s to cut the odds to 40m. After the next exchange Bohane’s lead was just a metre. Riordan forfeited his gains with a poor shot to O’Sullivan’s, which Bohane beat by 100m. Riordan closed the gap with his next to Hodnett’s, but immediately fell 100m behind again with a poor bowl towards the bungalow.
