West Down hold on to beat Northern

THE meeting of West Down and 2011 champions Northern at Dromore Cathedral was certainly a game of two halves.

The home team rinks got away to a great start and by the end of the first run of the mats West Down lead by 20 shots. At this stage Northern were staring down the barrell of a gun but to their credit,they came out fighting and scored on all three mats on the first end of the second half.

A somewhat lethargic home team managed to maintain a double figure lead until the eighth end when Northern scored two counts of four to reduce the margin to three shots.
