BOWLS: Co Antrim ace Andy Kyle turns up heat in AIIB fours

Joined by Trevor Robinson, Andy Duncan and Graham McKee, the County Antrim boys certainly set down a title marker.

But they face a difficult semi final outing on Friday, January 20 against Chris Eadie, Jamie Watson, David Nixon and Mike Merritt, from the Belfast club.

Kyle defeated Belfast's Gerard McGleave (22-19) in his opening match in Sunday's play-off before roaring to a 25-7 win against Alistair Kennedy, Nigel Robinson, Gary McCloy and Barry Kane.
