Regional League South 7th Oct 2017
Scorers: Hall(1*Try), Beattie(1*Try), McGuckin(1*Try, 1*Conv)

A few blasts from the past were rolled out as Rainey OB III opened their Regional League South programme with a fixture against Portadown IV at Hatrick Park.  While the Armagh men had their moments and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions, Rainey generally controlled things, with the experience of McCrea and Kempton holding them together.  Their scrum was particularly good.   Full-back Hall and centre Beattie scored first-half tries and flanker McGuckin claimed a third after the break. His conversion made the final score 17 - 0.
