Kingston too strong for Riordan

Killian Kingston beat Donal Riordan by over a bowl in the Tim Foley Cup at Templemartin on Sunday.

Riordan won the opening tips, but Kingston got a great second to Desmond’s to go almost a bowl in front. He missed Slyne’s corner in two more and Riordan levelled with a brilliant fourth. Kingston pushed 60m clear after seven. Riordan fought back to lead at Collins’ and led to the Schoolhouse Cross. There was little between them from there to Buttimer’s lane.

Kingston then got a brilliant shot to the monument, which Riordan missed well. He missed the cross with his next and Kingston went out. Riordan just beat that to hold off the bowl of odds. Kingston raised it with his next past the pub and pushed further ahead with a brilliant bowl past the line.
