The home side took an early lead through the boot of Rhys Thomas at the end of a tight first quarter.

Ards took control of the second quarter with a try from centre Warnock, converted by Coach Hammy, and an unconverted score from fullback Kiera U to take a 3 – 12 lead into the break.

Ards took control of the game early in the second half with a try from wing forward KWM was converted by scrum half Red Hot Rod, to extend their lead to 3 – 19, before Larne started their comeback.

Larne’s captain Field crossed for their first try and, with “The Legend” Marshall knocking over the conversion, the home side sniffed a chance with the score now at 10 – 19.

However Ards were able to reassert their game and the scoring ended with a late try from Ards replacement Oren with Red Hot Rod stepping up for the conversion.

Final Score: Larne 10 Ards 26.
