Report and pictures by Davie Hayes
It was a cold but dry Saturday morning in Ballymena, allowing for some very open rugby to thrill the large crowd of spectators.
Ballymena Academy got out off the blocks quickly scoring a try on the 8th minute after Sullivan gave away a penalty in their own half. A superb kick into the corner, allowed for a 5 metre line out and a well orchestrated maul allowed hooker Ben Millar to cross over for his first try. Reuben Allen had the challenge of converting the try from a very tight angle, narrowly missing the target to leave the score at 5 – 0 in Ballymena’s favour.
