Pat Butler rolls back the years to claim junior crown

Former senior champion Pat Butler rolled back the years at Castletownkenneigh on Monday where he beat Donncha O’Brien with the last shot of a brilliant Munster Junior A championship tie.

He didn’t get a big opener, but O’Brien missed it by 25m after playing his bowl to the left. O’Brien’s second was left too and Butler increased his lead. O’Brien’s third was also poor, which left him almost a bowl down. Butler consolidated his lead with a great fourth to the end of the railing.
