Arthur McDonagh closed out 2024 with a convincing bowl of odds win over James O’Donovan in the feature score of day two of the Keith Hegarty-RNLI benefit at Castletownbere.

Following hot on the heels of his Éamon Bowen Cup victory earlier in the month, it was an extra special win. Tommy O’Sullivan, who McDonagh beat in the Bowen Cup final, bounced back for a bowl of odds win over Aidan Murphy in the feature score of day one. All-Ireland intermediate champion, Hannah Cronin, contributed handsomely to a last shot win with Noel O’Regan against Ellen Sexton and David Hegarty.
