Killymurris tournament reaches finale tonight
A total of 14 bowlers will contest the finals night, after coming through a busy week of qualifying.
"We've had a super turnout and the change in format from pairs to singles seems to have been very popular with the bowlers," said Irene Adams, of the tournament's organising committee.
