REPORT Ballynahinch 1s v Belfast Harlequins 1s

Belfast Harlequins v Ballynahinch – First Trust Senior Cup Semi-Final – 14.11.15

Storm Abigail unleashed her full ferocity on Saturday and created atrocious weather conditions that affected both teams’ game plans The weather ensured that the two rain soaked teams played a very conservative game of rugby, as a sodden pitch and wet ball meant that there were only two scores in the game, a try apiece.

The home team had the first opportunity to open the scoring after the visitors were caught offside, but centre Adam White, whose kicking was very much troubled by the conditions, pushed his penalty attempt well wide.

The County Down outfit had scrum half Connor Spence yellow carded on 15 minutes for playing the ball on the ground in an offside position, but Quins failed to take advantage as they kicked the resulting penalty to touch, but the lineout throw wasn’t straight, with Abigail to blame once again.
