With Fergus Larkin on holiday Steven Adamson took his place on the rink at lead. Cliffy’s rink ran out winners by a seven shot margin to take their place in Saturday’s final at the same venue.

Next up for Dunbarton was the rink skipped by Conor McCartan with Eamon McElroy, Greg Moore and Gary McElroy only losing out by the narrowest of margins to B McGrath of Old Bleach BC.

Eamon McElroy became the club’s youngest competitor in a senior PG semi final and will surely play in many more.
