Séamus Sexton stars as King of the Roads quest begins

Michael Bohane and Séamus Sexton had the two first wins in the Mick Barry Cup in the race to the Hurley’s of Midleton King of the Roads at Ballincurrig.

Sexton scorched to just short of the line in 15 shots in his two bowls of odds win over Éamon Bowen. They took two to sight and Sexton was just fore after three to the black sign. He quickly put light between them by following with three great shots to the no-play line after Bowen missed in six. He raised a bowl with his next from the play line.

He opened the big corner in 11, where he had well over a bowl. He raised a second bowl by reaching the sycamores in two more. He was just short of the line in another two to push his lead over two bowls.
