There were two matches played on Saturday at Ballymacarn Park – Hinch 5’s v Armagh 3’s and Hinch Evergreens v Bangor 3’s.
Hitch 2’s had a rest weekend, as Malone 2’s postponed their match due to the McCrea Cup Final, but training continued ahead of the final matches in their respective leagues.
Ballynahinch 3’s played a ‘boosted’ Instonians 2’s at Shaw’s Bridge and beat the Belfast team 10-3 to continue their charge towards league success to follow on from their recent Crawford Cup honours.
Hitch 5’s took on Armagh 3’s at Ballymacarn and bested the Orchard County team by 39-0.
Hitch 4’s + 6’s had a rest week and the Evergreens took on a much promoted Bangor 3’s (the Gryphons) and sent the young North Down Team home with a loss of 18-0.
Hinch Ladies hope to mirror their League success by retaining the ’Rejenerate’ Development Cup on Sunday.
