Vital two league points for Skins
RUGBY: Enniskillen 26; Ballyclare 14
- Just reward at last for Skins on
Saturday, the Mullaghmeen Men
revelling in the dry conditions at
Portora and eventually over-running
Ballyclare to record their first league
win of 2001. A solid performance in
all areas secured the two vital points,
although the now customary lapse in
concentration midway through the
second half almost brought another
bitter defeat. Leading by eighteen
points to nine Skins relaxed a little
and allowed a soft Ballyclare try to
bring the result back into contention,
before a typically abrasive Robbie
Watson tackle halted the Ballyclare
momentum and put Skins back on
the offensive, a Kenny Hutchinson try
then sealing the win.

some confidence to the Co Antrim

league campaign.

Clarke is one who went further than
most.
