West Down added 2 more shots on the 9th end leaving a nail biting finish with Armagh needing 3 shots to tie with all 3 mats on their last end.
Aidan Corrigan lifted 1 shot to leave 2 in the game but with 3 shots against Marty Trainor and his last bowl to come, things were looking bleak for the Armagh side. Marty however had other ideas and played a waited shot on his forehand to kick off an outside bowl to get shot and leave only 1 shot in the game with Andrew Leckey's last end still to come.
With Andrew holding shot, he drew a 2nd to leave the game against West Downs Eddie Campbell with his last bowl to come. Eddie tried to draw shot but was just slightly tight and did not change the head giving Armagh the 2 shots they needed to win the match.
