The Best Man

Ten years Mary Breen has been trying to decide whom to wed, and ten years failing.

That’s why, on the weekend before the All-Ireland Road Bowling Championship, two strong men will square off in a winner-take-all shootout.

Davis Tone and Barry Murphy, warriors equally matched, waging a final battle in a cross-border rivalry that’s been simmering for the better part of a decade.

A battle for the hand of Mary Breen, the woman each man professes to love.

The outcome is anything but certain, and Mary herself, never a gambler before, has only one wish.

May the best man win.
