Martin Coppinger secured his place in the Dan Riordan cup final through a bowl of odds win over Gary Daly at Bantry.

He had a bowl of odds after his third shot to McSweeney’s. He lost that early momentum with his next two. Daly took advantage with a big shot towards Harrington’s, which brought him level after seven to Casey’s. They were still level after the next exchange to Cronin’s. Coppinger led by just 20m after two more to the top of the hill.
