With Pat Mulholland unavailable it gave Peter Deeny another opportunity to get match fit and his 3 wins on the night contributed to a comfortable win for Owenbeg.

Peter Deeny made it two with a similar victory over Barry Montgomery and Sancton Burns getting better with every game he plays made it a 3 wins with his victory over Brandy McEvoy.

Despite the result Owenbeg were went home pleased with their performance and perhaps thinking it was a match they could have got something from with a number of close matches on the card.  Brain Morrow continued his unbeaten run in the first match of the evening against Donald Campbell who over 4 close games matched the experienced Morrow point for point before being beaten in 4 close games with only 5 points separating both players. Dan McEvoy was equally in good form coming from two games down to win in 5 against Gary Smith before Aleyah Peniero who in improving with every game played made it 2-1 with a 2.1 victory over Cairan Fitzpatrick. Banbridge increased their lead to 3-1 winning the doubles match before Morrow made it 4 with his win over Dan McEvoy. Owenbeg won the next matches for 4.3 still all to play for. Brian Morrow made in 5 with his win over Cairan Fitzpatrick and although Campbell with his second win of the night over Gary Smith closed the gap Aleyah’s 3.0 victory over Dan Mc Evoy ensured the points for Banbridge in a very entertaining match

Owenbeg  playing there second match of the week got off to a good start against the home team with Dan and Manus McEvoy winning the both their matches in 5 games against Rory Mc Swiggan and Peter Madine. Cairan Fitzpatrick made it 3 win for Owenbeg in his 3.0 match with over Michael Deery. The McEvoy’s made it  4 winning  the doubles match with Manus Mc Envoy’s  3.0 victory over Michael Deeny leaving Strangford with an impossible task of getting against from this match.  But to their credit Strangford never gave up and although Peter Madine put its teams first win on the card with 4 game win over Cairan Fitzpatrick and Michael Deery made Dan McEvoy work for his 4 game victory which secured points for Owenbeg with Madine and Mc Swiggan putting another two wins on the card for Strangford thinking what a difference it would have meant to the score line if they had won the 3 close 5 game matches.
