Bell Rinks Update - Quarter-final results:

Simon Bell (1st Larne) defeated Ian Semple (Kilwaughter) while Alan McLean (Kilwaughter) beat Hubert Greer (Ballynure). Michael Murphy (LBLTC) saw off Tommy Bodles (Gardenmore)

This sets up a repeat of last year’s semi-final clash between the Bell and McLean rinks. Will the outcome be the same or will the ‘Galacticos’ from Kilwaughter justify their favourites tag? Mr Murphy and his cohorts have also clicked this year and Michael is relishing the new found status of finally making it through to the finals night again. Their opponents in the semis will be either Don Montgomery (All Saints) or Sam Gamble (St Cedmas).
