Hannah Sexton leads the Munster challenge in next weekend’s All-Ireland bowling final series at Ballinagree. Six titles are up for grabs, divining who will take each one is virtually impossible.

Expectations are invariably inflated for Munster wins when All-Irelands are played in Munster. That is an added burden that often inhibits performance. On paper all six are very evenly balanced, bowling is not played on paper though and very tiny margins can lead to big disparities in odds and results.
