Wednesday morning saw the Saturday’s Covid Impacted Subsidiary Shield Quarter Final played in Newtownards, between Regent House and The Royal School Armagh.

To say the weather was unkind was an understatement. A stiff breeze blew down the pitch, mixed with light rain and a deluge. Underfoot the pitch was soft and had all the consistency of glue.
