Sisters Hannah and Laura Sexton created road bowling history when they won the Munster senior and junior finals at Bauravilla on Saturday.

Hannah overpowered last year’s All-Ireland intermediate champion Hannah Cronin in the senior final. Her younger sister, Laura, won the junior final in a score for the ages against Darcy O’Brien. The sheer standard of bowling and the character of the two players was off the charts.
