With card seven returned in the Pauls Butchers Spring League and the teams now dropping their lowest scores the push for the eight qualifying places in the match play is certainly turning very competitive with twelve teams still in with a realistic chance of claiming one of the places.
Team 14 Mark Doherty, Ciaran O’ Doherty, Dermott Harkin and Michael Henry having accumulated 535 points from their six best cards continue to lead with the margin reduced to six points between them and the chasing pack which will make for a very interesting finish with three cards to play.
