The Brian Brady (pictured right) Memorial Shield Prelims and First Round matches were held on Tueday night, 15th February. The top 6 at the half way point in the League played off in Whitehead GRSC and the bottom 6 in Monkstown SC. Last years winners Spartans just scraped through their prelim against Monkstown and went on to beat the Rockers in their next match. Castle will meet Spartans in the last 4 on 22nd March after they overcame 2 difficult fixtures against Barbarians and Scorpions.
Up in the Monkstown Club the ladies of the Dolly Mixtures celebrated a fine win over the Alpha in their Prelim and they repeated the treatment over Greenisland to make it into the last 4. Well done to the girls. Eastway overcame the Bees but just missed out on a Semi Final spot when going down to the Pirates in a deciding frame.
