It’s down to the final four at Lahinch in the Pierse Motors sponsored South of Ireland Championship and there is still some local interest with Mark Power (Kilkenny & Lahinch) still standing.

It was another windy day at the County Clare venue on Saturday but the downpours which caused abandonment earlier in the week were gladly absent.

With the line-up now finalised, the match between Caolan Rafferty and Power is arguably the pick of the semi-finals with both looking for their maiden victory in the event and both in a rich vein of form of late, with Power looking to go one better than his second place at The East earlier in the season.
