Kelly Mallon and Carmel Ryan to contest final

Ryan beat Munster champion Catriona O’Farrell Kidney and Germany’s Anke Klöpper. Mallon dominated the second half of her semi-final in which Claire O’Sullivan gave a great display, but Dutch champion Silke Tulk never got into her stride. Klöpper played and won the first shot of the festival, but just a metre separated her from O’Farrell-Kidney in third with Ryan sandwiched between them.

All three were at the sycamores in three with O’Farrell-Kidney leading. Both Ryan and Klöpper missed sight at the top of the short straight and O’Farrell-Kidney got a big shot to go a bowl clear. Both Ryan and O’Farrell Kidney missed the big corner as Klöpper made it to draw level, with Ryan a bowl behind. Ryan closed the gap past Leahy’s, but it was her brilliant bowl to O’Riordan’s that put her back in contention.
