James McBriar a key man once again
Chris Parker reports from Ballymacarn Park
Ballynahinch 2nd XV remain top of the 2nd XV league after a comprehensive 43-0 victory over Instonians. Hinch started brightly and looked dangerous in the wide channels, it wasn’t long before the first score arrived when Nicholson broke the line and drew the full back to give fellow winger Jordan Heatley a run in for his 11th try of the season, the conversion was unsuccessful.
Hinch used the strong wind to their advantage with McBriar pinning Instonians back in their own 22. The 2nd’s were more physical than their opponents and from a dominant scrum, Morton released McMullan on the blind side and he had enough pace to get in at the corner and take the score to 10-0. Hinch continued to put Inst under pressure but at times the last pass didn’t go to hand and scoring opportunities were lost….. CLICK HERE for the full story
Seconds into Millar McCall Wylie Junior Cup Final
Chris Parker reports from Ballymacarn Park
Hinch went into the game knowing this would be their toughest match to date as they faced Qualifying One leaders Portadown, in the Junior Cup Semi Final.
Hinch started strongly and matched Portadown’s physicality at the breakdown; Portadown tried to play the game in the Hinch half and kept pinning Hinch back in their own half. This saw Portadown take the lead when an infringement by Hinch at the ruck allowed Cousens to kick a penalty and open the scoring. Hinch responded positively with James and Heatley causing problems in the wide channels and from a James break Portadown were penalised for hands in the ruck and Lawton levelled the scores…..
