Christy Mullins held off a strong late rally by John Creedon to win the Rapid Response Benefit at Lyre by almost a bowl.

Creedon won the first two shots, but Mullins led with his third to the forestry. Creedon was well left with his fourth. Mullins beat that by 100m, which became almost a bowl of odds when Creedon only beat it by five metres with his fifth. Mullins raised a full bowl at the wall and had close to two bowls after eight to Crowley’s bend.
