Monkstown 3-11 Spartans
Monkstown entertained Whitehead Spartans in a re-arranged League fixture on Wednesday 24th November. The prize at stake was 3rd position in the table. The home side have been racing up the table recently but went into this fixture without star performer P.Henderson, who was unavailable. A tight match was still expected but Spartans raced into a 6-0 lead with wins from J.Kane x2, E.McDowell x2, R.Hawkins and K.English. R.Henderson pulled 1 back for Monkstown to give an interval score of 1-6. McDowell won frame 8 to complete his 2nd hat trick of the week and the destination of the 3 points was soon sealed as D.Lowe finished well to give Spartans their 2nd win of the week. Monkstown notched up 2 out of the next 5 frames, both credited to S.Walker but Lowe, Hawkins and English assured the visitors of a deserved win, albeit by a slightly flattering scoreline of 11-3
