Northern Zone ladies seal win

On Saturday 4th January, the Northern Ladies’ Inter-Zone team travelled to Killmurrris Hall, Glarryford to compete against Mid-Antrim in the quarter-final of the Inter-Zone Plate competition.

The first half was a very tightly contested match, with the Northern ladies gaining a seven point lead after five ends. The Mid-Antrim ladies then fought back but at the end of the first half the Northern ladies had a three point advantage.

This set the scene for an exciting second half. It was a nail-biting finish and the spectators were certainly kept on edge. With nine ends of the second half played the visitors were ahead by a single shot. However the Northern ladies held their nerve and secured victory by five shots.
