Navan Man Darren Oliver just failed in his attempt to land the All-Ireland Junior A Title to his Munster Junior A Championship after being beaten by Martin Toal on the last shot in the All-Ireland decider at Tassagh. Darren, roared on by his Navan followers, made a steady start to the score and raised a bowl of odds at the Creamery Lane. It even looked like the Ballycrummy man would raise a second bowl until Toal threw two mighty bowls that took him to the hollow below the garage which effectively levelled the score. However, Darren had his opponent back on the ropes with two great efforts to the Bridge. Darren's penultimate shot was average and when Toal scored the line with a great shot from his "mark" Darren was left a tricky shot to beat. Unfortunately, Darren's bowl fell short handing the score to the fortunate Toal. An Armagh man's win in the Munster Championship will remain long in the memory and all at the Navan are very proud of his efforts this Championship Summer of 2008. Well Done Darren.
