It’s never certain of the result when two teams from the same club play each other but St John’s B where never in trouble throughout this encounter and ran out comfortable winners to celebrate Christmas as League Leaders. John Magee has been in awesome form all season and put the B team on their winning way with a straight game win over Sean Poland. Jim Mills evened the score with a similar winning score against Brendan McGrillen but the B skipper Vincey Poland another player on top form made it 2-1 with his 3 love win against Terry Murphy. The B team won the 2 matches for a 4 -1 lead with a doubles and a singles win and although Terry Murphy kept the A team still in the match with a chance of sharing the points with his 5 game win over Brendan Mc Grillen the B team won the next 3 matches to ensure a comfortable victory. This St John’s B team with all players playing well at the same time and have their sights set on the League title and on this form who can blame them.
Strangford B 1 Ardglass 9
Ardglass included team captain Don McEvoy in their line out and despite the usual determined efforts by Strangford the visitors were always going to be strong to expect anything from this encounter and went home with both points. Roy McSwiggan got the match underway for Strangford and although he took the first game against Paddy Cahir lost in 4 games. Peter Madine and Gareth Henvey was an entertaining 5 game nip and tuck match before the Ardglass player got home in the 5 the . Cormac O’Reilly is always available when needed and can be pleased with his scores against Don McEvoy before losing in straight games. The visitors won the next 3 matches to ensure the win with Peter Madine putting a win on the card with a 4 game victory over Paddy Cahir.
