The Senior fours skipped by Willie McCaw, Open fours and U25 singles progressed to the final and it was a double rink celebration on Sunday with Aaron Tennant nearly making it three titles for the club only to lose 21-20 in the U25 final.

But congratulations to the senior fours of Hugh Paul, Morris Smyth, Tommy Smith and Willie McCaw and the open fours Trevor Colvin, Nigel Robinson, Gary McCloy and Barry Kane on their Irish Titles.

They now go forward to represent the club and Ireland at the British Isles Championships in Paisley in March.
