Strangford arrived at St John’s B confident of overturning a 40 point deficit but were unable to produce the form that won them the League title losing the match by 19 points. Sean Poland who was in terrific form throughout the match started the encounter against Colin McKinty with a four point advantage but Marty Trainor 15 point advantage over Terry Murphy but Jim Mills did well to restrict the League’s No1 Joe Mc Conville to 6 point winning margin so after 3 games Strangford had pulled back 17 points. But in the second round of matches St John’s added 11 points to their total of 34. Strangford now the final round was going to tough against a determined home side. Sean Poland did well to restrict Joe Mc Conville to a 3 point advantage and rightly earned the accolade as man of the match leaving his team mates to ensure victory.  To their credit both Colin Mc Kinty and Marty Trainor worked hard for every point but it the end it wasn’t enough to prevent a home victory and a passage into the semi-finals.
