Saturday’s events which commence at The Art’s Centre at 2pm will include a demonstration of road bowling skills and throwing technique at Carbery’s off road track at Skibbereen Showgrounds.

Gaeltacht and Carbery bowlers enjoined in two doubles scores at Caheragh on Saturday. Honours were shared at the end of the day with Gavin Harrington and David McCarthy recording a victory for the home side while Adrian O’Driscoll and Brendan O’Callaghan were Gaeltacht winners. McCarthy again was on the winning side at The Marsh Road on Sunday when, partnered by Darren Lynch, a last shot win was secured from Skibb’s Raymond O’Regan and Paudie Hodnett.
