At Ballincurrig on Saturday Denis O’Sullivan beat Aaron Hughes in the last shot of the Charlie McCarthy Cup final in what was as close to the perfect score as imaginable.

These two played an equally compelling and high quality All-Ireland Junior B final at Newtown earlier this year. The depth and consistency of quality from both was exceptional. These are two emerging players, currently in the fourth division of bowling, but well capable of jumping up the divisions. They and the bowling public need to see them more frequently in meaningful competitions.
