Fermanagh League continued on Tuesday evening and in Section B, Mullaghdun went home with a very valuable four points from their game with Cleenish who are also in contention to progress to the semi-finals.
Mullaghdun were by far the superior in this game with Eamon McPartland and Niall Cox's rinks easily winning against the two Cleenish rinks skipped by Leo Owens and Ellen Brogan. In the other game in Section B, Royal British Legion dominated their game against Cavancarragh with David Reilly's rink winning both their games against Conor McCarney and Jim Rooney, comfortably.
In Section A, St Michael's A returned to their winning ways, after their surprise defeat last week to Clogher Valley, by defeating Trory A by 3 points to 1.
This win assures the Enniskillen team of a semi-final place with only 4 games remaining. Clogher Valley, still on a high from last weeks win, continued their good run by defeating Florencecourt whose only point winner was Cecil Phair's rink.
The only game scheduled in section C was cancelled when St Joseph's could not field a team and Wellington B being awarded the four points which moved them into the leading position at the top, 0.5 points ahead of fellow club team Wellington A. St Michael's B ,in Section D chalked up their third win of the season which took them off the bottom 'rung 'of the table, when they defeated Gransha by 3 points to 1.
Gordon Beattie's St Michael's rink collecting two wins over Matthew Burleigh and Esther Forster's Gransha rinks in an overall close encounter. In the final game of the evening in this section, the leaders Derryvullan showed their superiority over Lakeland B and added a very useful maximum points to their total and a step further to one of the coveted semi-final places come the end of February.
