Coppinger and Cronin off to perfect start at Castletownkenneigh while Carbery triumph at the Marsh Road

Martin Coppinger in action.

The International Fund Day at Castletownkenneigh and the Johnny O’Driscoll Cup at the Marsh Road were the only major events to escape the ravages of Storm Isha, both were played on Saturday before social media lit up on Sunday morning like an airport FIDS screen cancelling all flights.

At Castletownkenneigh Martin Coppinger and Hannah Cronin beat Gary Daly and Ciara Buckley by a bowl in the opening contest, while Tommy O’Sullivan and Veronica O’Mahony had two bowls to spare on Tim Young and Geraldine Curtin in the other feature.
