Méabh Cuinnea is Munster U18 champion following a powerful display of bowling against Darcy O’Brien at Ballinagree.

It was a cracking contest in the early stages, but Cuinnea’s power eventually pushed her a bowl of odds clear. Her start was in total contrast to her finish. Her opening bowl was left of the shop, it hopped the kerb and hit a pole. Her last bowl was fast and true and sealed her win.
