Blackrock 18
Ballymena 23
BALLYMENA’S quest to avoid relegation received a major boost in Stadbrook, as a blitz of second-half tries gave them their first win of the campaign against fellow strugglers Blackrock College. The Dublin side had a 13-8 advantage at the interval thanks to Peter McCague’s five-pointer but tries from Darrell O’Kane, Connor Smyth and Scott Gibson gave Ballymena a much-needed success.
