Munster champion, Michael Bohane, is out of the 2023 race following his defeat by David Murphy at Lyre.

Murphy, who opened with a huge bowl, won the first tip by 100m, putting Bohane under pressure from the off. Bohane played his second bowl to the left and was now a bowl of odds down. That start proved very costly, even if Bohane got back on track with a great third throw to bring the lead under a bowl.
