The Ballynahinch RFC Round-Up For 12 10 24

Ballynahinch face Young Munster next Saturday and hope for a fair result

The AIL returns this weekend with a trip to Young Munster, who defeated Ballynahinch three times last season by a combination of around ten points writes James Kirk.

Adam Craig and his squad will hope for some better decision-making from players and officials alike this weekend!

The 5ths were the only senior side in action at the weekend and they racked up a big score against Lisburn 3s to claim another bonus point win.

Youth Convenor Clifton Quinn, YDO Johnny Cullen and the excellent team of coaches have worked tirelessly to rebuild the youth boys section while Shel Laffin and her team have had very encouraging numbers in the youth girls section. All new players welcome.
