Queen’s continued their winning start to the New Year with a hard fought 33 – 26 win against Ballymena in the Energia AIL 2A at The Dub Sports Arena on Saturday afternoon.
I arrived at The Dub just in time to see the Queen’s scrum half Matthew Keane go over in the corner for the opening try, minutes into the game and as Queen’s enjoyed the better of the opening exchanges Keane was on hand to stretch for the line, close to the posts, for his second score. Ritchie McMaster added the conversion to give Queen’s a 12 – 0 lead after 14 minutes.
Ballymena worked their way back into the game in the second quarter but they were unable to break down the Queen’s defence and they had to settle for a couple of Tim Small penalties which left them trailing 12 – 6 as the teams changed ends.
