Belvo singing in the rain

Belvo defeated Ballymena by 28-21 at Anglesea Road to move clear by four points at the top of AIL League Division 1B.

The match started in gorgeous sunshine and Old Belvedere blazed in to a two try 12-0 lead with scores from Chris Keane and Mark Cooney.

However, Ballymena pulled it back to 12-11 to set up a tough encounter.

A freak downpour in the second half (see image above) made the conditions heavy going, but Belvo had just enough in the fire to extend their unbeaten run to eight matches so far this season.  Belvo’s third try came from Fergus McFadden.

Belvo grind out draw in awful conditions

Old Belvedere held on for a 3-3 draw away to Young Munster in the AIl last weekend.

The below write-up comes from the IRFU.ie website.

AIB LEAGUE: DIVISION 1B: Saturday, October 24

YOUNG MUNSTER 3 OLD BELVEDERE 3, Tom Clifford Park

Scorers: Young Munster: Pen: Alan Kingsley
Old Belvedere: Pen: Fergus McFadden

Young Munster were camped for most of the second half at or near the Old Belvedere line but they could not manage to get over. Indeed, on three occasions they were held up over the line.

Belvo had both of their props, Daniel Wyeth and Nermin Lovic, sin-binned just before half-time at which stage the sides were deadlocked at 3-3.

Fergus McFadden kicked the Dubliners ahead with a fifth minute penalty and five minutes later Alan Kingsley fired over Young Munster’s only successful penalty.

The home side also had Shane O’Neill sin-binned, while Kingsley unfortunately suffered an ankle injury and had to be replaced.
