Final fling for Ballyclare

IN a repeat of last season’s Deep River Rock Towns Cup semi-final Ballyclare faced City of Armagh RFC Second XV, this time at The Cloughan, for a place in the Easter Monday final.

Following a night and morning of persistent rain, pitch conditions were heavy but thankfully the rain stopped for the duration of the game and Ballyclare won a pulsating cup-tie 20-15 to book their place in the decider against Enniskillen.
