Kelly Mallon eyes sixth All-Ireland bowling crown

Kelly Mallon is bidding for her sixth All-Ireland senior title at this weekend’s All-Ireland bowling series at Madden in Armagh.

Victory over Cork champion Geraldine Daly would give her the first three-in-a-row in the senior women’s championship and bring her within one crown of Gretta Cormican’s record seven titles. To add spice to the occasion she will be playing on her home club road.

Daly will be up for the challenge in what is her third senior final. Her performance in last weekend’s Munster final at Kildee was top class; in the semi-final she beat former champion Carmel Ryan.
