Dromore Ladies

Dromore Ladies made the difficult trip to Larne last week to play Curran Ladies, the unbeaten League leaders.

Although quietly confident the Dromore team knew they faced skilful and competitive opponents.

The game was played in very testing conditions with continuous rain making the playing surface slow which unsettled Dromore.

They quickly fell behind on Rink 2 but persevered to the end to finish just two shots down.

Meanwhile, Rink 1 played a good steady game finishing three shots ahead.

A nail biting finish saw Dromore gain a one shot victory and four points. It was a very happy Dromore team who made the long journey home.
