West Down Zone progress to semi-finals in build-up to National Championships finals
After what has to be said was a sluggish start by West Down Zone, the locals began to dominate and despite some spirted resistance from the visiting Cork side, West Down established an 18 shot lead after the first run of the mats.
This should have a winning advantage and so it proved with all three second half rinks finishing in the ascendancy. The team now travel to South Tyrone for the semi-final with a further step up in performance required.
