Bangor 41, Donaghadee 13

Bangor Rugby Club continued their good run of form with a convincing league win by 41-13 against local rivals Donaghadee and regained the Rodney Gray Cup in the process.

The afternoon got off to a great start with the clubhouse close to full capacity for the pre-match corporate lunch.

Although many chose to stay indoors and view the game in comfort, many more gathered along the touchlines to watch this keenly contested fixture.
North Down pride was at stake, with not only league points on offer, but also the Rodney Gray Cup which has particular importance for both sides.

While not without its faults, this was another complete team performance from Bangor that continues to build in confidence, and augurs well for the challenge on Saturday when they travel to Shaw’s Bridge to face an equally in-form Instonians in the quarter final of the Junior Cup.
