Michael Bohane turns on power at Ballincurrig

Michael Bohane bowled impressively to beat Paul O’Reilly by two bowls in the Jim O’Driscoll Cup final at the King and Queen of Roads festival at Ballincurrig on Sunday.

O’Reilly won the opening tip, but Bohane took the second and led to the finish. O’Reilly competed well until Bohane got a massive fifth past the creamery that just missed the no-play line and put him almost a bowl clear. He raised the bowl with his next to Heaphy’s and followed with a big one to O’Riordan’s.

He had almost two bowls after 11 to the big corner. He raised the second bowl with his next to sight at the top of the short straight.
