Colm Rafferty is Hurley’s of Midleton King of the Roads after a comprehensive win over European champion, William Hobbelink, at Ballincurrig yesterday.

Dutch star, Silke Tulk, completed a glorious four-in-a-row in the Kingston New Homes Queen of the Roads, defeating her arch-rival Kelly Mallon in the last shot. It was a day when everyone got something. In the Jim O’Driscoll Cup, Munster intermediate champion, Tommy O’Sullivan, bowled well to reverse his All-Ireland defeat by Ethan Rafferty. Ireland, Oisín Gribben and Ellen Sexton, bowled well to win the Proto-Mark Technologies Youth International Triple Crown. Germany’s U18 champion, Neele Carstens, took home the William O’Brien Cup for the single best shot of the weekend.
