Ards 3rds travelled to Gibson Park to take on Malone 3rds for this twice postponed McCambley Cup quarter final.
It was a much changed team due to player unavailability and injuries however this was the perfect opportunity to blend the young with the old.
Senior debuts were given to Noah Miskimmin, Kris Burgess, Chris Weir and Oliver Dempsey was able to have the experience of playing his first adult match alongside his dad Gary.
Despite Malone fielding a strong side, it was Ards who played all the rugby in the first half only for Malone to capitalise on three Ards mistakes and run in 3 scores including 2 from 70meters.
The second half saw Malone turn the screw and impose their physicality and run out eventual winners despite Noah Miskimmin scoring a try on debut.
We look forward to seeing more of the four debutants in the black and white!
