Mens 2s sunk 3-2 in the Irish Junior Cup Regatta (Galleon Class) by higher ranked and irritatingly local Bangor 2s.

We lost the game but probably just edged it in…

A Mossley attack down the right was not cleared by the home defence and Mossley scrambled the ball past the helpless Alastair McArthur who was making his return in…
