NIPBA Championship Results - Double Success for Barry Kane! Barry Kane was the toast of the NIPBA on Saturday when he secured a Fours and Junior Singles double at the Champioship finals at Ballymoney. It was a busy day for the young Dunluce player as he contested three finals. Ably assisted by team mates Simon Colvin, brother Rodney and Mervyn McKeeman, Barry secured the fours title with victory over the gritty Portglenone rink, skipped by Chris Jones. It took a superb drawing shot by McKeeman on the second last end with seven shots against to secure second shot and leave his rink with a six shot cushion going into the last end. Barry then faced experienced international Ian McClure in the Open Singles final. However, the Portrush man was in inspired form and secured a 21 - 17 victory. The previous day Ian won a titanic battle against Brookgreen's Ian Ross in the semi - final 21 - 20, a measure on the last end deciding the tie. Barry, however, showed great spirit and character in the Junior Singles final against Cookstown player, Mark Wilson. Obviously deflated somewhat from his Open Singles defeat, Barry struggled early on and trailed 7 - 4. However, he finally settled and played the better bowls to secure the title with a 21 - 12 scoreline. In the other disciplines, Mark Mason won the Youth Singles. In arguably the best final of the day, the young Coleraine player defeated Ballymoney's Aaron Tennant 21 - 19. Both players displayed great talent and showed maturity beyond their years and surely can look forward to a bright future in the game. Ballymoney contested the Pairs Final with Brian Hughes and Gary Kelly defeating clubmates Allister Steele and Willie McCaw while Brookgreen's Ian Ross led Joe Moore and Brian Lindsay to victory in the Triples against Dunluce's Uel McKeeman. Congratulations to all the winners as they now look forward to the Irish Finals at Belmont in September. Youth Singles Semi - Finals C. Brogan BM 14 v A. Tennant BM 21 A.
