Pegasus welcomed Ards to Newforge on Monday night for a much needed hit out for two of the form teams in Ulster.

We haven’t caught up with, the reigning All Ireland Champions, Pegasus for a while but during that time the gears on the Lean Mean Red Machine haven’t been meshing as smoothly as they should resulting in the Pegs slipping from top spot to third in the EYHL, albeit with a game in hand, having picked up a few draws.
