Colin Wilton was well beaten in the top game and he got no points.

Hide AdRory McMullan played brilliantly in the very tough conditions but unfortunately drew a blank.
Josh Crory boosted the Banbridge total by getting a courageous half match.
The score, at the halfway stage, is Warrenpoint 22, Banbridge 10. The second leg will be played at Banbridge this coming Friday. It is not over, by any means. Warrenpoint need to get ten and a half points to win. They might find that difficult enough.
