Zone Cup and Shield Finals

 

Congratulations to Drumgor for winning the Armagh Zone Cup and St Marks for winning the Armagh Zone Shield.
 
Final

The Cup Final proved an very tighter affair with Drumgor holding a slender 1 shot lead at the half way stage. 
It looked to be plain sailing for Drumgor as by 6 ends in the second half they had increased their lead to 8 shots. 
St Saviours however fought back hard over the remaining ends and with only 1 end remaining in both mats, St Saviours had levelled the match. 
A bowl over the fender by St Saviours on the last end proved crucial at this late stage as it gave Drumgor a 3 shot lead with only one mat left. Drumgor held on in the last end and only dropped 1 shot to win the cup by 2 shots.

Shield

The shield was literally a game of 2 halves as St Anthony's took the early lead in the first half due a convincing win on one mat and went into the break with a 8 shot lead. St Marks came out all guns blazing in the second half and were able to pull back the 8 shots over the first few ends and go on to win the shield by 13 shots.
