The Silverwood team did not disappoint and finished a very creditable fourth on the day.

This moves them up a further place in the table and with their own venue to come next the team is aiming for a realistic top four finish.

The best pairing on the day were the ever consistent Seamus Patton/Neil Walker combination with a wonderful 45 points.

The next best pairing were the old reliable’s Francis Kelly and Brian Brady with 43 points and with the last two pairings on 39 points each, the team total was 127, a really good return and gives confidence to achieve a commendable finishing position.
