Just one year out of U18 ranks, Anthony Crowley, is making waves by qualifying for the semi-final of the Munster junior B championship, setting up what promises to be a massive contest with Brian O’Driscoll next Sunday at Clondrohid.

He stormed past Brendan O’Neill by two bowls of odds in the quarter-final at Ballinagree. The first half of the score was close, but once Crowley found his range he took complete control. They went out the first bend level. O’Neill won his only lead, by a metre, with his second shot through An Caipilín Bán cross. Crowley shaded the next three past the double gates.
