City of Armagh 2nd XV City of Armagh Seconds played Ballymena Seconds in a top of the table clash at the Palace Grounds on Saturday. In what was a bruising encounter Ballymena came out on top late on with a final score of 06 points to 32.
At half time with Mathew Steenson converting two long range penalties the score was 06–06 with Armagh posing plenty of problems for a good Ballymena team. On 53 minutes Ballymena scored their first try to give them a lead of 06–13.
Shortly after Armagh lost their scrum half Jeffrey Dougan to a shoulder injury and this along with Jonny Clarke’s early leg inury hampered Armagh’s game plan.
Ballymena scored three late tries to take the league points in what was a very entertaining game.
The team and management would like to wish Jeffrey Dougan a speedy recovery.
