Owenbeg C 2 Owenbeg B 8
Owenbeg B combination of youth and experience is making them a formidable force. This has been very evident in their opening matches and although the result of this game was never in doubt it was a match played in good spirits which is unusually the case when clubs team meet competitively. Jason Gill started well for the C team and quickly and raced in a 2 game lead against Manus McEvoy and looked good to win this opening match. But Manus won the next 3 games to win 12.10 a great opening match with only 3 points winning margin. Paul Phillips regular practice routine is certainly paying off in his 3 game win over Alex McEvoy to even the score. The 3rd member of the McEvoy family this time Dan made it 2-1 with his 3 game victories over Geraldine Mc Gill and Cairan Fitzpatrick completed the first round of singles matches with his 3 game win over Lynne Blaker for 3.1 for the B team. Jason Gill added another win on the card in a close 4 game match with Alex McEvoy but despite scoring well in the final round matches it was a comfortable victory for the B team.

The final game was close all the way before Gareth got home 11.9. Geoff Smith made it one all his straight games win over Brandy McEvoy who stayed at the table against Vignesh losing in 4 games.
