On sat Ballymoney 2nd xv entertained Larne 2nd xv at the kilraughts road.. On what was a great day for running rugby Ballymoney kicked off. From the start THe ballymoney forwards pressured there opponents resulting in an early penalty which just went wide of the posts.. Ballymoney again came back at there opponents some lovely hands by the backs but the larne defence was hard to break down… Ballymoney lads kept the pressure on larne working hard in attack which resulted in another penalty this time we opted to kick to the corner for the lineout..
THe linout was beautiful collected by neil mulhooland who hit matty blair on the run rampaging the larne defence and great support by no 8 jonny brewester saw the him go below the posts for the first try.Conversion was hit by nigel nevin leaving the half time score 7 0 to the toon.. Second half ballymoney continued to dominate the game upfront destroying larne in the scrums with blair linton and bellingham showing the opposition what they were made of.. the ballymoney pack pressed froward again with the backrow of brewester bellingham allen covering every inch of the pitch and some great hands in the backs of irwin linton and nevin toon unlucky not to go further ahead.. A ballymoney lineout on the half way caught by mulhollad and drove the larne pack up the pitch great work by the forwards saw jonny brewester score his second of the match. conversion was hit by nevin to leave the final score 14 0 to the toon… Captain commented this was another good win for us today we didnt play to our full potential in stages but we got the win and didnt concede any points which was pleasing.. a big thank u again to the team and to my management team of jason allister pete. who have the potential to do things this year and there commintment and attitude has been outstanding so far… man of the match goes to jonny brewester who worked tirelesy all day in the backrow…
