Three strikes from Ben Bell calls time on Larne Grammar’s Cup run.

Report and images by Nick Murray.

A cold and windswept Magherafelt was the stage for the Medallion Plate semi-final between Rainey and Larne GS sides on Saturday morning.

Larne started brightly with their first attack down their left hand wing, but were stopped short of the 22. The majority of the first quarter was then played in midfield, with both sides having possession, but not really doing much with it. A strong wind behind Rainey, should have seen them take the territorial advantage, but it didn’t really work out that way.
