The latest success was in last week’s GSG Cup final, in which they beat the holders, No1 Blues, 8-6.

The Blues took the first two frames, but Alan McKeown played a captain’s role to redress the balance and Ulsterbus won four in a row.

Faced with a 5-3 deficit, Blues men Eddie Hunter and young Lee Hogg hit back to level and Matt Connor edged them in front once more, going into the final session.

Ulsterbus player Jim Baxter was pivotal as they fared better and clinched a trio of frames and the trophy.
