Battle at the bottom of Section A hots up

The battle at the bottom of Section A of the Roy Kennedy Fuels Indoor Bowling League is hotting up following the first two weeks of the New Year.

Derriaghy have been drawn into the equation following two defeats, one against Hillsborough Social and the other to relegation rivals, Hilden, who also beat Killaney.
