Provincial Premier: City of Armagh III 5 Belfast Harlequins II 19

My second game at City of Armagh rugby Club on Saturday with the Provincial Premier D1 match between Armagh 3rd XV and Belfast Harlequins 2nd XV.

I arrived over for the second half with the score at 5 – 7 in Quins favour. Armagh’s points came form a William Coleman try, Quins responding through a Tom McAllister try and a Charlie Beattie conversion.

Again, the game was played in very difficult conditions and Quin’s more experienced pack controlled proceedings in the second half, ably assisted by some astute kicking from Beattie.

The visitors parked themselves in Quins territory for the bulk of the second half. Difficult handling conditions saw a few chances go begging but also prevented Armagh . . .
