Coppinger finds form to edge Daly at Ballincurrig

Martin Coppinger got his bid to reach the Hurley’s of Midleton King of the Roads back on track with an impressive win over Gary Daly in the Mick Barry Cup at Ballincurrig on Sunday.

Daly opened with a brilliant bowl to sight. Coppinger only reached Moore’s gate in two, but Daly didn’t capitalise. Coppinger seized the opening with a brilliant third into the green to lead by 30m. He was in front from there to the finish. He increased his lead with his next two, but his fifth narrowly missed the no-play line.
