Carmel Carey lifted the Brendan Roche Cup at Carraig na bhFear on Sunday after winning a record 11th Munster Senior Women's title with a stunning performance of power and concentration.

Her challenger, Veronica O’Mahony, opened with a sensational bowl to just short of light. Carey did well to follow it, leaving them on the exact same tip. O’Mahony edged the second throws to light. Carey then played a massive bowl towards the doctor’s. O’Mahony took two to beat it, playing both to the right. Carey edged closer to a bowl of odds with her next throw past the doctor’s.
