Mulholland was 8-15 down against Nigel Beggs, Whitehead, in the singles decider, but came storming back to win 21-15.

Scott Jess will remember for some time the shot he failed to get in the under-25 singles final against J. Montgomery, Whitehead. Jess was leading 20-12 before letting the game slip 21-20.

Craig Hill, Cromie and Graham lost 10-16 against the Bangor’s M. Shannon in the triples final.

Craig/ Mulholland played Barry Browne/Martin McHugh in the pairs final last night. They set up the final with a 16-15 semi-final win over T. Carson/M. Crawford, Bangor during last week.

McHugh/Browne had beaten Scott Jess/Martin Nelson 23-11 in the other semi-final.
