Shock loss for Loughanreagh

The Windyhall outfit looked to be powering towards the title with a string of impressive displays, but Boveedy, who beat them in the second game of the season repeated the act last week winning by five shots.

Both sides won two rinks each, but it was the hosts who walked away with five points and cut the gap at the top to just nine points.

The first half finished all square as Stephen White had given Boveedy a three shot lead after he beat Ian Ross, but Alan Irwin levelled things up as he saw off Ronnie Catherwood by the same margin.

After the break Nigel Gamble gave his side a seven point advantage as he beat Alastair Steele, and when Edwin Irwin could only manage a two shot win against Alan Catherwood Boveedy took the points.

Reigning champions Ballinrees took advantage of Loughanreagh's slip as they picked up six points thanks to their 12-shot win over Marian. The hosts won both games in the first half as Kenny McNeill beat John Rainey by eight and Jonathon Calvin saw off Brian McAlary by seven.

After the break Peter Whittaker beat Brian McFetridge by four, but Montra's joy was shortlived as Torrence McFetridge sealed a 12-shot win over Paul Donnelly.

St Mary's surge to the Division Two title shows no sign of slowing down as they extended their lead at the top to 28 points following their six shot win over First Coleraine.
