Select 3rd XV sides for Belfast Harlequins and Malone kicked off the commemorative matches at Deramore Park on Saturday afternoon. The matches, in memory of Patrick “Chippy” Baird, are now in their second season following the untimely passing of the popular clubman in December 2020.
The match was played, using extended squads, over three 20 minute periods of high octane action!
Quins dominated territory and possession throughout the first period, but it was Malone who had the best of the scoreboard. An early break from Malone resulted in an attacking lineout in the Quins 22 and flanker Conor Spence twisted over for the opening try after three minutes to give Malone a 5 – 0 lead.
