Kelly Mallon and Carmel Carey will face off in a key battle for supremacy in the opening score of the delayed 2020 All-Ireland final series at Newtownhamilton next weekend.

Both are record breakers, who continue to extend the limits of achievement in women’s bowling. Mallon is the most decorated bowler in the history of the sport. This year she also captained the Armagh Ladies Gaelic Footballers to the Ulster senior title and scored 1-5 against Monaghan in the All-Ireland series last month. Carey is both the defending All-Ireland champion and holder of a record number of Munster titles.
