Team manager Davy McCue commented after the game: “That was a good team performance. Our fitness is improving with each match. We won the individual battles all over the park. We also showed how we can also play an open game at a fast tempo. We had a lot over very good individual performances, however the Man of the match award goes to Chris McIlmoyle. It was great to see Chris pull on the Ballymoney Rugby shirt again after two years on the side lines.”

The Fours now prepare for next weekend league game as they travel to face Hollywood Seconds. Kick off 2.30pm.
