Knockeden, Buffs keep cup dream alive
Knockeden beat Central Arms to progress to the quarter-finals of the Pictorium Cup, while Buffs Club were rarely troubled by Coach Bar as they advanced to the same stage of the Loyalist Cup.
In a rearranged league match, BT/PO Club dealt Greenhills' hopes of finishing runners-up behind soon-to-be-crowned champions Bowling Club a blow with a 6-2 win in the Church Street clubrooms.
