Greenisland Galacticos entertained previous pace-setters the Doagh
Weapons. With Johnny Mackay and Dean McDonagh available again,
manager Derek Whiteside was very confident ahead of this encounter.
Sure enough he was to be proved right as the Weapons seemed to have
travelled without any ammunition. Other than Rab McCullough
registering first in each session, there was no other addition to the
score card from the Doagh lads. Best for the hosts D McDonagh 3/3, J
Mackay 3/3 (1b&d), J McLean 2/2, C Carson 2/3 (1b&d) and S
Carson 2/3.
League
leaders The Swift, hosted new boys the Greenisland Colts. Paul
Roberts’ team were able to relax knowing their nearest rivals would
be up against it just to stay in touch. The Colts were always going
to be up against it as the league leaders ran out 6-1 & 5-2
session winners, Stuart McClean following up last week’s hat-trick
with a fine brace, Rab Butler ran out yet another 3/3 including 2
break and dishes, Kyle Kirkwood & James Meredioth added braces.
Best for the visitors Colin Beckinsale 2/2
The
Whitehead Spartans played host to the Eastway, the visitors getting
off to their now trademark fast start. With the score at 2-4,
manager Robert Hawkins got his team back on terms before the break
and kick started a further 4 in a row to put his team on the hill.
However, the visitors looked like they weren’t finished winning the
next 2, but last year’s Spartan manager Kenny English made sure of
the points. Best for the hosts Kenny English 2/2, Darren Lowe 2/2,
Robert Hawkins 2/3 and for the visitors Ryan Whiteside 2/2, T Greer
2/3.
Back
at the Swift Clare Roberts’ Warriors hosted Gordon McCormick’s
Whitehead Trojans. With the score at 1-2 the Warriors found their
range winning the next 5 and taking the sessions 5-2 & 4-3. Best
for the hosts Gee Crawley 2/3, Derek Baird 2/2, T Kidd 2/3 and for
the visitors Tyler McKee 2/3.
In
Monkstown the Hit Men & Her played host to the Greenisland
Working Men’s Club, with the visitors hoping to dazzle the in-form
hosts by sporting their new colours. It wasn’t to be as the trio
of Andy McMeekin, Paul Henderson and Sara Greenberg pulled out
finishes for fun taking both sessions 4-3 & 5-2. Best for the
hosts Paul Henderson 3/3, Sara Greenberg 2/3, Andrew McMeekin 2/3
and for the visitors Hugh Reagan 2/3.
The
Teddy Bears played host to Hugh McMurtry’s Cowboys. Dee McIlwain
soon found his team in an all-so-familiar position, 5-2 down at the
break. In the second session the Teddy Bears got themselves in with
a shout of a point. With the visitors on the hill at 5-7, up
stepped young Jack McMurtry for his first taste of taking the points.
He didn’t disappoint with the Teddy Bears taking a consolation
last frame. Best for the visitors P McCaffrey 3/3 & A Corrigan
3/3.
