Road bowling: Vintage Murphy secures Munster crown in over-60s final

Two big shots in succession up to and away from Lane’s gave Murphy an unassailable lead and the Munster crown.

Jerry Murphy is Munster Vintage (over-60) champion after a strong showing against Paul Butler and Tom O’Donovan in the overall final at Curraheen.

While each of his opponents managed to get a fore bowl, this was a score dominated by Murphy in terms of winning all but two tips and fashioning a comfortable victory.
