Ballynahinch inflicted a heavy defeat on derby rivals Lisburn in the Women’s Premiership with a sparkling eight try victory at Blaris. Skipper Jemima Johnston set an example with four tries while there was a hat trick for veteran Number 8 Rachel Morton whilst Jane Patton added a try and four conversions. Paula McKay was Player of the Match.

The fourths and fifths moved to the top of their respective leagues as the season nears the end of Phase 1 with both sides topping fifty points at home against Banbridge and Portadown respectively.

At youth level there was defeat for the U14 boys but victory for the U16 girls.

Hinch Minis were on the road this weekend for a fantastic morning of rugby at Portadown RFC, with Newry RFC also joining the action.Portadown put on a brilliant setup and warm welcome, a big thanks to their coaches and volunteers for hosting! Despite the wet and muddy pitches, the kids absolutely loved it with plenty of great rugby, teamwork, and smiles all round. And finally, good luck to all our minis sitting their SEAG exams this Saturday!
