2019 kicked off with a comprehensive win for North Down fifths, a 7-3 victory away to Civil Service fourths. The match started with both sides clearly showing some post Christmas rust and in some cases post Christmas timber.

North Down ladies fourths travelled to Coleraine seconds last Saturday to play their first match of 2019 but with the long Christmas break, North Down seemed to play a few steps behind a strong Coleraine team.
