Carl suffered as we all do at the hands of Ray going down 3-0 and Paul couldn’t convert the 5th set in his favour against Colin. Tyrone then had another 5 setter this time against John but sadly for him he couldn’t snatch this. Doubles experts Ray and John eased through it against Carl and Paul to secure at least 3 points. Carl now gave Colin his 3rd 5 set encounter of the night and Colin prevailed 12-10 at the death. Tyrone fared no better than most against Ray and Paul rounded the match off winning a highly competitive 5 set match with John. 8-2 to Barnsley but 6 matches went the distance so the scoreline doesn’t really reflect the closeness of the tie.
