Champions Greenisland Galacticos took to the road for the second night in a row, buoyed by their Knock Out Cup semi-final triumph over the Teddy Bears the previous evening, they travelled to the Eastway. As is becoming the norm with the Eastway lads, the first half was a very tight affair with the visitors edging it 4-3. After the break and with the scores at 5 each, the champions moved up a gear winning the last 4 frames to take the match 9-5. Best for the hosts was M Greer 2/3 and for the host’s debutant S Hay 2/3, C Carson 2/3 & J McLean 2/3.
Over in Doagh the Weapons entertained league leaders The Swift and, given recent results, the Doagh men were looking to get back on track. However, the visitors had other ideas as they reached the break with the loss of only 2 frames. After the break the Weapons came out all guns blazing winning 4 out of the next 6 and a chance to steal a point. Up stepped Wayne Lewis sitting 2/2 on the night, but the hat-trick was not to be as Swift manager Paul Roberts ripped out an 8 ball clearance to take all 3 points back to Carrick. Best for the hosts J Moore 2/2, W Lewis 2/3 and a cameo 1/1 from C Laughlin and for the visitors P Roberts 2/2 & D Irwin 2/3 & a cameo 1/1 J Meredith.
In a repeat of Monday night’s Knockout Cup semi-final the Cowboys played host to The Hit Men & Her. The match was looking like a reversal in fortunes for the Hit Men as they had the chance to take all the points, only for veteran Alan Corrigan to hold his nerve in the last. Best for the hosts R McMurtry 2/3, T Leggett 2/3 & A Corrigan 2/3 and for the visitors S Greenberg 2/2, A McMeeken 2/3 & P Henderson 2/3
The Scorpions hosted the ever improving Teddy Bears , taking the first half 4-3 they then kicked on winning the second session 5 2, best for the hosts P Kerr 2/2, D Haddock 2/3 & D Whiteside 2/3 and for the visitors C McCrea 2/3.
Clare Roberts’ vastly improving Warriors travelled to Greenisland to take on new boys the Colts and they didn’t disappoint taking both sessions 5-2 with hat-tricks for Johnny Johnston & Gee Crawley
Result of the evening goes to the Greenisland Working Men’s Club as they finally got their season up and running as they played host to third placed Whitehead Spartans. With the visitors holding a slim lead at the break 4-3 the hosts ran out the second session 6-1 thanks to a fine hat-trick from Andy Galloway and braces for Rab Brown, Joe Patton and Hugh Reagan. Best for the visitors K English 2/3
The Whitehead Trojans record a 14 nil walkover against Alpha
