Ballyclare 37 – Bangor 7: Pre-Season Training Game

Preparations for the new season are nearly complete with some league games taking place this Saturday and most teams beginning their campaigns next week.

This weekend sees the Harlequin Womens 7’s, Randalstown Tournament & George Tees Cup at city Of Derry.

However, an interesting encounter on Wednesday 24th August took place at The Cloughan in Clare country between Ballyclare 1’s and Bangor 1’s.

Four 20 minute sessions saw a strong Ballyclare side emerge the clear victors by 30 points.

The visitors scored early in the first five minutes after Clare conceded 3 penalties and Bangor sailed through the middle to register and convert a try.

Ballyclare responded with a consistent and sustained series of attacks leading to a number of awesome back line tries and a number of well worked forwards tries.

We managed to get a few snaps kindly donated by George Irvine Photography and look forward to covering their game against Coleraine this Saturday.
