Bann chalk up eight tries against Valley Share
Clogher Valley 3rds 0 BANBRIDGE 4THs 62November 6, 2010
Bann Fourths were in control of this game from the outset. The try line was breached after only five minutes, full-back John Porter grabbing the opening score for Ali Lewis to add the conversion. Clogher's defence worked hard to keep their line intact despite intense pressure but Lewis slotted a penalty home to take his side's lead into double figures. Colin Hamilton raced in for Bann's second try before the home side's No 8 added to his team's difficulties when he was yellow-carded for stamping. Even restored to full strength Clogher were no match for a rampant Bann side which added three second half tries to their tally. Flanker Brian Curran got a well deserved score to cap a very impressive performance, Porter got his second to round off another fine game and Hamilton completed his hat-trick.
Bann were not slow to capitalise on their numerical advantage, touching down three more times before the half-time whistle through Hamilton, Ben Martin and Sam Boyd.
Clogher came back in to the match in the final 10 minutes but strong tackling secured a defensive clean sheet.
