Much was expected of Douglas, but they never got going. In a game spoiled by a downpour, Barrs always held the upper hand, principally thanks to a splendid defensive performance and Shields’ heroics.

Determined Barrs scorched into a big lead by the end of the first quarter after accurate strikes from Adi Calnan, David Newman, Shields and Roy Leahy.
