Randalstown proved on Saturday afternoon that it is possible to outrun the long arm of the law! It was the only possible way as the ‘Town team couldn’t hope to out muscle their much sturdier opponents and they stuck to the task running out deserved winners on the day.

Randalstown 2nds ran out fairly easy winners in this boxing day encounter with their near neighbours Ophir.

For much […]
