Banbridge Rugby Club - Northern Ireland

Having lost the toss Bann played with the wind in the first half. After some early pressure Matthew Beck scored to give his side a 5-0 lead. This seemed to motivate the City of Derry team who struck back with a try of their own.

At this stage Derry were playing all the rugby and were unlucky not to go further in front after they charged down a defensive kick. With the aid of the wind Bann kicked down into the opposition "22" and Cameron Cromie scored under the posts with Moore converting to leave the half-time score 12-5.

This was never going to be enough as the wind was now a major factor. Weak Bann tackling allowed Derry to take control and two tries and a penalty left the game beyond Bann. At this stage all the subs were introduced. Derry capped a fine display by scoring another try to be crowned deserved winners.

Team coaches Alan Harvey and Richard Jennings would like to thank their sponsors Wm Bell & Sons and the Northern Bank for their support along with Willie Kirkwood for his considerable input in the latter half of the season.
