Aidan Murphy finished strongly to end Arthur McDonagh’s recent run of success and eliminate him from the Phair Cup at Shannonvale.

He got the better of the early exchanges, taking the first two tips. McDonagh then played a big third shot to go in front. They went out Demond’s level. Neither player got a good bowl from there, but McDonagh was still just fore. Murphy then played a huge bowl up the rise and down past Kingston’s. McDonagh replied with an equally good one to hold his lead. There was nothing between them from there to Campbell’s lane.
