It was sunny, but turning cold, when Civil Service took the pitch for a Ulster Championship Division 3 fixture against Holywood, at Stormont.

With only 3 minutes, on the clock, Holywood took the lead through an Andy Martin try, converted by Joel De’Pledge, for a 7 – 0 lead.

Service found it hard to get a foothold into the game & coughed up another try when Hayden Maxwell went over after 16 minutes. De’Pledge supplied the conversion and Holywood were 14-0 to the good.

There was no sign of Hollywood letting up. De’Pledge converted his own try, after 25 minutes to move Hollywood out to 21-0.

Service struggled with their set . . .
