The second half saw Ballymoney come out fighting however right forward Lauren Mitchell was unlucky to convert any break aways.

Unfortunately Ballymoney were unable to deny a very experienced and agressive Rainey side of any more goals despite the solid efforts of their goal keeper Jill Huey and captain Lisa Burns.
