On Easter Monday afternoon, Ravenhill hosted a double header. First up was the McCrea Cup Final clash between Ballymoney and Carrickfergus.
An early Paddy Carson penalty goal for Ballymoney was countered by a Dan Curley penalty strike for Carrick to leave the score tied at 3-3 in a tense opening quarter.
A clever reverse pass by scrum half, Shane Kelly, created a gap for Matty Hadden to storm over, under the posts. Dan Curley’s conversion moved Carrick out to 10-3.
On the halftime whistle Paddy Carson’s penalty goal brought Ballymoney back to 6-10 at the break.
The second half was equally intense. Paddy Carson’s penalty goal made it a 1 point game, at 9-10.
