Regional League: Section 1 5th November 2016
Scorers: McIvor(3*Try), Loane(1*Try), McGuckin(1*Try, 2*Pen, 5*Conv)
In Regional League: Section 1, Rainey III entertained Finn Valley from Co Donegal. The Ballybofey side contributed well in an open affair, scoring two good tries, but ended up on the wrong side of a 41-15 scoreline. Rainey lost a player in the pre-match warm-up, causing them to switch Ciaran McIvor to out-half, a position totally foreign to him. He has played most of his rugby on the flank, but had no problem slotting in and helped himself to three tries just for good measure.
Rainey's other try scorers were flanker Loane and No8 McGuckin,who also kicked two penalties and five conversions for a personal tally of 21 points. Captain Phelim Trainor had a sound game on the wing as his forwards set up plenty of good set piece ball and kept the ball alive with some great offloading.
