Andrew O’Callaghan and Tim Young secured the first two wins of the 2022 Munster intermediate championship at the weekend.

O’Callaghan, who won the Junior A title last year, beat Raymond Ryan by a bowl at Baile Bhuirne. Ryan got the better of good opening shots by 30m. O’Callaghan got a nice run off the right with his second for his first fore bowl. The lead changed hands in each of the next two throws. O’Callaghan led the next three to O’Herlihy’s cross. He got a good bowl from there to push his lead to a bowl of odds. He had well over a bowl after two more to the council yard.
