After last week’s outstanding victory against City of Derry Mark Uprichard’s & Mervyn Gill’s young charges started the game with plenty of confidence and energy. However it was soon apparent that they were no match for a well organised Ballynahinch team whose play was well orchestrated by a very talented number 10. Despite Ballynahinch dominating possession which led to inevitable scores-leaving a final scoreline of 40-10- the Portadown players deserve massive credit for their “never say die attitude.”

 Throughout the game they continued to work hard both with and without the ball. What they lacked in technique and experience they more than made up for with commitment and energy.  Mark & Mervyn can feel very proud of their squad and with more training and experience they have a team who can turn these results around.

 The U 13s will have a training session on Saturday at 10.00 as their match with Coleraine has been cancelled
