David Murphy and Silke Tulk took home the Hurley’s of Midleton King of the Roads and the Kingston New Homes Queen of the Roads titles, but fans left with a stream of regal bowling memories from Ballincurrig.

Both big finals went to a last shot. Murphy rallied from what looked like a lost cause to dethrone a worthy reigning king, Gary Daly. Silke Tulk dethroned, seven times winner, Kelly Mallon with an equally dramatic last shot in the Queen final.
