REPORT Clogher Valley 27 v Ballyclare 0

On a cold, grey, wet day at the Cran the floodlights were in use from the start

Valley showed in the first minute how difficult it would be for Ballyclare as the pressure they exerted at the first scrum shoved Ballyclare of their own ball and Valley won the penalty. When they also won the first Ballyclare lineout the writing was on the wall.
