A very experienced Fourth side were back in action after a little break, with three former club captains to help them along.  Visitors Larne III went ahead midway through the first half, but Rainey gradually assumed command for No8 McCrea to create a try for speedy wing Suiter.

 

Rainey's superior fitness was evident as the game progressed and scrum-half Paul nipped round the narrow side from a ruck to put them in front.  He struck again, finding a gap and selling a neat dummy to extend their lead, with Suiter also grabbing a second try towards the end.  All the conversions were missed, leaving Rainey with a bonus point 20-7 win.
