● Always a particularly friendly affair when these two teams meet
So with absolutely everyone on both sides looking forward to and fully expecting an enjoyable evening the Times Tigers from York Road Belfast's Times Bar travelled to challenge The Greenisland Working Men's Social Clubs Colts
The Greenisland Colts got off to a great home match start with team members Glen Burns and Joe Patton taking the first two
Tigers Johnny Eccles and Steven McWhirter would bring it back to level pegging by Swiftly taking the next two
Colts Captain Harry Warwick would however put his team in front winning the fifth
The next two were tit for tat being one for each team with John McClean (Cujo) taking the seventh making the first half score 4 - 3 in favour of the Colts
After the interval The Greenisland men started the second half in a similar fashion to the start of the evening
Once again taking the first two frames
This time however The Tigers simply could not manage to halt the Colts progress as Greenisland Colts Vice Captain and team stalwart Colin (Fizz Bomb) Beckinsale would secure at the very least a draw for his squad with a riveting pivotal tenth frame win in his usual enthralling Maverick style putting his team on the hill and relieving all pressure from his team mate Captain Warwick who would play next enabling him to successfully secure the win and all three points for his team with a it must be said fairly tasty eight ball clearance
Afterwards the Colts would go on to extend their well earned lead with wins for Christopher McCurry and McClean
The best player at this point of the evening Greenisland Colt McClean would soon be joined by the only other cueist to execute three wins from three played being Colt Patton who won the final frame which indeed made the second half result a clean seven from seven sweep in favour of the Colts which saw them achieve an impressive 11 - 3 Victory on this particular occasion
