Mark Marsh took his new NI Seniors B2 team to Shooters Pool Hall in Bangor (pictured right), hoping more than anything to get vital experience for his team before the European Championships in Carlow next month. But in a nailbiting finish which went down to the final ball in the final frame, veteran Hugh Regan sunk the final black of the day to leave the B2s top of the table in this 4 team tournament.
