Bowling: Shane Crowley retains Munster U18 title

Eoghan Kelly was an impressive Munster U14 winner. He defeated last year’s All-Ireland U12 champion, Fionán Twohig, by two bowls of odds. This final followed a very similar narrative to the U18 final.

Shane Crowley retained his Munster U18 road bowling crown in a show of power and awe against Cathal Creedon at Bantry.

Once he hit his stride with his huge second bowl, he quickly took control. Creedon had opened with a brilliant bowl, straight over the sop, towards McSweeney’s lane. Crowley’s reply was well right of his sop. That handed, what turned out to be, the only lead of the night to Creedon.
