Declan O’Donovan finished strongly to beat Donie Harnedy by almost two bowls in the Carbery Junior championship at Caheragh.

Harnedy started well, winning the first two to the lawn by 20m. Harnedy held the lead in the next two past Lisangle cross. O’Donovan followed with a brilliant bowl to the soccer pitch, which won him his first lead by 40m. Immediately, Harnedy hit back with an equally good one to the top of the bridge to regain the lead by 10m. Nothing separated them after the next exchange to the new house.
