Ma Dullea’s first squad overcame Baker Street at the Gurranabraher venue after what was a very exciting last 16 encounter.
Baker Street took three games from the opening four of this meeting through the good performances of Gavin O’Connor, Robert O’Connor and Paul Callaghan but Ma Dullea’s with Patrick Ryan winning the sole point for the Tower Street side.
However all changed after the break as Ma Dullea’s ran up all three remaining games without reply as Alan Ramsell, Tom Falvey and John Lyons had wins over Darren Nolan, Derek Sheehy and Johnny Byrne.
Ma Dullea’s now have two teams in the quarterfinals alongside the six remaining super league sides as the second squad also came through as they won at the cost of the Joshua Tree who have had a week to forget in the challenge cup as all their teams are now eliminated.
