Commiserations to young David Devlin who lost his All-Ireland U-12 Final against Cork man Shane Shannon at Sally's Cross, Kanturk. Devlin had done tremendously well to reach the National decider in his first year of competitive bowling but it was Shannon, from Beahlish, Durrus who overcame the Navan man on the day. The reports from Cork were very positive as Shannon had won a very competitive Carbery championship, narrowly defeating Brendan Crowley in the final, before undertaking a tough county campaign that included scores against regional winners from South-West, Mid, North-East and North Cork. David Devlins Ulster win was the Navan Club's win at this grade and ironically Shannon's Munster win was also his Carbery Clubs first county winner since the grade’s inception.
This experience of bowling in the pressure cooker that is an All-Ireland Final will stand David in good stead in the future and copper fastens the potential that we have at the Navan Road Bowls Association.
