Sexton eyes strong start to upset favourite Mallon

Kelly Mallon will be expected to see of the challenge of Munster champion, Hannah Sexton in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior final 

Kelly Mallon won the Queen of the Roads for the seventh time at Ballincurrig in September

Every time Kelly Mallon stands on a bowling road, she is the favourite. This has been earned through an unparalleled career in which she leads both the All-Ireland and Queen of the Roads roll of honour.

Next Sunday’s All-Ireland senior final is no exception. She will be expected to see off the challenge of Munster champion, Hannah Sexton, especially as the final will be played over the Keady-Tassagh road in Armagh. Some factors offer a case that Sexton can cause an upset.
