Once again Armoy 1stXV found out the harsh reality of life in the Qualifying leagues. This weeks opponents were the P.S.N.I who play in Q3 as opposed to Q4 where Armoy now find themselves.

City of Derry RFC 38pts, Queens 25pts City of Derry Rugby Club’s winning start to the season continued on Saturday last at Judges Road when they scored six try’s for another bonus point victory over Queens University.

Your humble scribe, in this, his last report from the battlefront before handing back to a worthier pen, hoped and fully expected to be searching for words to eulogise an heroic victory. The last two performances had […]
