Meanwhile last Thursday night’s matches saw the Manor make their debut in the league and they made an impressive start to their campaign by beating Dunloy United taking all six points.

This was followed by getting a draw against Drones A, taking nine points out of twelve which was a really good start for the Manor team.

The other matches saw hosts Triangle A beat Drones by four frames to two but still a good result for the visitors.

The match between Triangle B, who were coasting by three frames to one, saw the Triangle Hawks make a late rally with Kenny Hutchinson taking the last two frames to gain a draw against Curtis Boreland.

The Man of the Match title in the game between Triangle A and Drones A went to Gregory Cooke who came from 40 points adrift with a well timed 63 break against C. Sweeney.
