Callanan leads from start to finish in Mother of all battles
He opened with a good bowl to the soccer pitch, but lost ground with his second. He compensated for this with a good third shot to the forestry entrance. He held his lead by beating the hump in two more. He then played a massive bowl to the new farm entrance, which extended his lead to 70m and put him in a position to make the bend in two more.
O’Meara was too far back to reach the bend in two and when Callanan made it he was a bowl clear. He held that lead by making McCarthy’s bend in two more. He gave O’Meara no opening after that by pressing towards the line in three more to keep his lead at a bowl of odds.
