Royal Portrush return to the summit in Ulster Seniors

ROYAL Portrush reclaimed the Ulster Senior Cup title last week with a 3-2 win over defending champions Slieve Russell at Massereene.

Even with the Maguire twins in their ranks, who were unbeaten throughout, Slieve Russell simply did not have the strength and depth to match their opponents.

Royal Portrush now join Lahinch in the All Ireland Quarter Finals in Cork 13-14 August while Slieve Russell join Douglas as one of the three teams hoping to make it to the quarter finals as best losers.
