Road Bowling: Buckley beats Young in Munster Intermediate Championship

 

Paul Buckley finished well after a slow start to beat Tim Young by a bowl in the Munster Intermediate Championship at Shannonvale.

Young won the first three shots to McSweeney’s, while Buckley was slow to ignite. Young had a big lead after five to light at the quarry bend. He was still in a strong position at Buttimer’s pillars, but he made a mistake there. Buckley didn’t take that opening, he was too far left and came up well short of Desmond’s cross. Young made light with his eighth shot, which put him a full bowl clear.
