On Friday night the ladies 3s travelled to Carrickfergus to play Greenisland in their second last game of the season.

North Down entertained Queens on Saturday in Comber keen to avenge a 2-0 defeat earlier in the season and also to get back into the top four in the league. Play in the first period was confined to midfield for long periods. North Down won a number of early corners which were cleared but at…
Last Saturday North Down thirds were back in league action after their cup defeat and hosted Cookstown fourths in Comber. A much changed side due to unavailability on more senior teams saw five new faces but they welcomed the return of Paul Revill who has suffered from back problems. North Down started well and had…
The ladies seconds, already confirmed as league winners, made the journey to play Omagh seconds last Saturday at Campsie.
