Ladies tested but they see off Newry

DROMORE Ladies set off for Holywood Bowling Club on Wednesday last knowing that their fixture against Newry Ladies in the semi-final of the Joyce Kavanagh Trophy would seriously test their skill, nerve and determination to win.

Past games with Newry have often been close affairs hence a good start was regarded as essential.

Both Dromore rinks settled straight away and persistent drawing to the jack resulted in an early lead being established. Continuous pressure on their opponents ensured that Dromore steadily forged ahead to score a 20 shot win.

Rink 1: B Lindsay, M Ward, J Malcolmson, C Ogle - won 24-12.

Rink 2: M Adair, A McGarrity, M Dawson, L Aiken - won 19-11.

The final will be played at Ward Park, Bangor on Wednesday July 7 when Curran Ladies, Larne will provide the opposition.
