Aidan Murphy edges Gary Daly to claim Mother Hegarty Cup at Lyre

Aidan Murphy beat Gary Daly by a bowl in the Mother Hegarty Cup at Lyre.

He was almost a bowl clear after two to the forestry after Daly played both his first and third shots to the right. Murphy had a full bowl after four to the tunnel. Daly knocked the bowl with his shot past the tunnel and cut the odds to 70m with his next.

Murphy made Crowley’s bend in two more to lead by a bowl and 50m. Daly cut the lead with a great bowl to sight at McCarthy’s bend and knocked the bowl with his following shot to sight. Murphy didn’t make McCarthy’s wall with his next and now his lead was back to 60m.
