Good results for 1st’s and 2nd’s There were good home wins for the 1st’s in the Senior Cup and the 2nd’s in the league. Unfortunately the 3rd’s lost out to a very sharp and well drilled Ballynahinch 3rd XV in a Junior Section 1 league game. The 1st’s defeated Armagh for the second week in […]

In addition, the home side will feel that the referee did them no favours, letting […]
