Ryan and Tulk set up repeat decider

Both cruised through their semi-finals yesterday at Ballincurrig. Ryan beat German champion Anke Klöpper and Claire O’Sullivan. She led all the way. She had a nice lead after four to the muddy gap and increased her odds onto the short straight.
She followed with a brilliant bowl to the big corner to go a shot clear and had close to two at the top of the long straight. Another good bowl to O’Riordan’s increased her odds and O’Sullivan edged Klöpper for second place. Klöpper followed with a great bowl to move closer to Ryan, but O’Sullivan made a mistake, which put her out of contention. From there on Ryan was unchallenged.
