Shandon Park knocked out of Irish Senior Cup

Shandon Park, winners of the European Senior Cup in both 2000 and 2001, will defend the title this season but not as Irish Cup holders.

The Belfast club has been knocked out of the Irish competition in the Ulster quarter-finals at Warrenpoint.

Banbridge dismissed the cup specialists by four matches to one with Rory Leonard, Connor Doran and Kieran Magennis winning the top three matches to snatch victory for their team.

The Ulster semi-finals and finals will be played at Portstewart on August 11.
