A CRAIG Wallace hat-trick was the highlight of Ballyclare Rugby Club’s comprehensive 29-3 derby win against Carrick on Saturday. The win keeps the Cloughan men top of Qualifying Two.

Meanwhile, Ballyclare’s 2nd XV boosted their Junior League Section 1 title charge with a 21-17 home win against Omagh II. A Paul Morrow touchdown and two Chris Gillen penalties gave Ballyclare a 13-3 lead at the interval.

The ‘Clare lads more than held their own at the set-pieces, but struggled in the loose exchanges. However, they still managed another try courtesy of Ian Holmes and a Gillen penalty, while Omagh ran in two scores.

The Thirds were whitewashed 23-0 by Portadown II, but the 4th XV fared better with a massive 72-12 win in a friendly against Ophir II.

The try-scorers were: Colin Agnew (four), Gareth Smith (three), John McDonald (two), Trevor Clarke, Darren Montgomery and Neil Fox with John Wasson contributing six conversions.
