Close games in open age night league

It was a double week of games last week with the second games producing lots of close games. Ballaugh B are becoming so much closer to taking their first win when they produced a draw against Castletown B 142-142. The home side Ballaugh B took 4 wins. They are getting closer each week to taking that win. This has been a terrific first season for a lot of the team and they have all improved since they first started and are a great credit to the Ballaugh club.

Peel Sunset hosted the Ballaugh A side, which was also another close game with Peel taking the win by just 3 points (173-170). This most certainly would have been the game to watch with so many close games I’m having to show the full game results.
