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.
