If it stayed dry for my first 2 games, then the rain gods turned it on for the Women’s Junior 2 game between Banbridge II and Belfast Harlequins III. As well as being damp, grey, and gloomy now a heavy rain fell and coupled with a cold wind drew any heat out of the players.
In a very stop start 1st quarter, not helped by the conditions, neither side could dominate, and the game got bogged down in midfield.
On 12 minutes Ciara Patton found space to slot home Banbridge’s opener for a 1-0 lead, which they held to the end of the 1st quarter.
