But the two main talking points are how the new generation of players in the INF B team continue to impress and remain undefeated and how league champions for three out of the last four years Drumgor have yet to record a victory as they lost their two year unbeaten record following a big defeat to the INF A team

Reigning champions Drumgor tasted defeat for the first time since 2013 when they suffered a heavy defeat to an INF A team who are playing with confidence after last weeks cup success in their home venue.

Terry Morrow started the night off for the INF with an 18 dart last leg decider win over Stephen Duff with three 140s helping Terry over the line. Paul White had a 134 and 2x100s and a 17 dart leg as he extended the lead with a 2-0 win over Eamon Duff who had 2x140s but couldn’t find the all important double. It took a last leg 120 checkout by Dave McCusker to scrape over the line against James Henry to extend the hosts lead and when Lee Culbert got his first win of the season for the INF A with a 2-1 win over Michael Maloco a point was guaranteed.

Dan Cahoon recorded his third consecutive 2-0 win this season when he beat Pearse Richardson to win the match as the Forresters men raced into a 5-0 lead.

Drumgor captain Joe Duff pulled one back with a 2-0 win over David Culbert but Roy White put five between the sides again as he beat Marty Craig 2-1 w. In the final match Paul Magill took the opening leg against Shane Lennon, but he fought back to take the last two legs and leave the final score INF A 6 Drumgor 2.

Eire Og remain joint top after a hard fought 5-3 win over Clann Eireann.

The visitors put the pressure on though as six legs in a row guaranteed the win as first Paul Callaghan beat Joe McGahan 2-0 followed by John Cinnamond repeating the feat over Gary Hendron. His brother Chris completed the victory by beating Chris Magee. Despite hitting a 180 Paul McGahan lost out 2-0 to Micky Campbell. Clann Eireann will be pleased to finish the night off on a high despite defeat as Michael Kitching finally got the taste of hitting those winning doubles as he recorded his first ever win for the Clanns with an excellent 2-0 win over Niall Heaney .

The INF B continued their unbeaten start when they came away with a 4-4 draw against the Stables. Conor Magee got in on the winning act as he beat Hugh Campbell to give the visitors the lead. Conor Mallon brought the teams level as he won 2-0 over Collie Toman who was playing his first match for the B team.

Gary Bell had a 2-0 win over Lee Harbinson to bring the sides level again and it took a last leg win for Michael Lamb over Bobby Magee to put the Stables in front for the first time with Michael, who impressed in his first county match for Area 11 last Saturday, continuing his good form.

Adrian Hutchinson had a 2-0 win over Stuart Matchett but Andy Fairbairn had an excellent 96 to help him beat Conor Maguire 2-0 to keep the sides level.
