Ballymoney Forwards grind out Win vs Larne

Larne were up against a strong Ballymoney side who boasted a big pack.

The visitors took an an early lead but Larne hit back with an all-round brilliant team try before the interval. Winning the only scrum of the day in their own 22, Eddie Hunter made a break off the back to send the backs up the blind side. Some exquisite hands and off-loading saw Montgomery race in to touch down and give the Larne men some hope at the break.

However, they could do little to stop a five-metre scrum from which Ballymoney utilised their physical power to barge over for another try.

Late in the game a kick up field bounced wickedly away from McBride, and into the hands of a Ballymoney winger who went under the posts.
