David Murphy wins with last shot at Bauravilla
O’Donovan missed the cross with his first bowl. Murphy’s opener went right but it straightened to just beat the tip. They both missed Robin’s cross with their second throws, but Murphy was still fore bowl. O’Donovan played his next to the left and Murphy extended his lead to 70m. O’Donovan was too far left with his fourth too and Murphy beat Coppinger’s gate to hold his odds.
O’Donovan then played a massive fifth to the netting, which Murphy missed by 10m to concede the lead. They were just short of the rock in three more with Murphy leading by 10m. Murphy gradually edged clear and looked to be secure with two to go.
