St. Anthony's win League

After an impressive campaign, St. Anthony's have won this seasons League
Division 1 title with 2 games to spare. Their closest challengers St.
Saviour's could only manage 2 points at St. John's Moira in their last
match last night which meant they could not finish above St. Anthony's.
St. Anthony's were also due to play Drumgor last night but Drumgor could
not field a team and St. Anthony's were awarded the 7 points. This had no
bearing on the final league positions due to St. Saviour's defeat.

The 2 teams lock horns tomorrow night in the final of the Zone Cup in
Waringstown. A win for St. Anthony's would mean a 3rd league/cup double in
4 years. However St. Saviour's will be keen to get something out of their
season and retain the Zone Cup they won last year.

St. Saviour's defeat in Moira opens the door for St. Mark's to claim
runner's up spot in the league. The outgoing champions have 2 home games
left against Waringstown and Tullysaran and 10 points from those 2 games
would see them pip St. Saviour's for second spot.

The Zone Shield was decided on 15 March when the Golf Clubs of Portadown
and Tandragee met, with the latter emerging victorious.
