Armagh Zone enjoyed a double success at the Irish National Finals in Richhill Leisure Centre on Sat 22 March. St. Mark's Pauline Beattie triumphed in the Ladies Singles with a hard fought victory over Mid Ulster's Brigid Davisdon. Brigid led throughout the game and went into the last end 10-9 up, but Pauline claimed 2 on the last end to win.
It was much easier for Cranagill's Beth Whittle and St Anthony's Sean Breen in the final of the Junior Pairs. They played excellent bowls to comprehensively beat the Hastings brothers from North Down.
The Cranagill triple of Paul Whittle, Terry Mulholland and Mark Sproule narrowly missed out on making it a treble for Armagh, losing out in the triples to Lisburn's Nicky Haire on the last bowl of the game.
Cranagill did have something else to cheer about as Dayne Jordan and Mark Wilson (representing Mid Ulster) won the pairs title with a 12-6 win over Martin McAleese and David Walker.
