On the back of a midweek 3-0 Gibson Cup win against Armagh, the 2BXI were flying after just a few minutes, through Jade Allison and Kelsey Smyth goals with only seven minutes on the clock.

Katie King, Abbie Gilliland and goal number two for Jade Allison completed the second half haul to make the final score a fabulous 6-0 win to Ballyclare. Jessica Hunter was player of the match.
With the score 0-0 at half time, the 3rd XI came out in the second half determined to break the deadlock. It was player of the match Gemma McBurney who found the breakthrough with a goal just after half time, Emily Green adding a second before the end of the game. Final result 2-0 to Ballyclare.

A fabulous win; Chloe Moore and Katie Ireland were joint player of the match.
