Rainey OB III  made it five wins on the trot to remain unbeaten in their section of the Regional League when they beat Strabane III  by 22 - 7 at Hatrick Park.  It was a good contest between two evenly matched sides.  Rainey's back play was impressive throughout and it was how they opened the scoring after ten minutes.  From a five metre scrum, they moved it smartly along the line for wing Adam Hunter to finish in style.  Strabane then had the better of it for a spell to run in a converted try, but full-back Devlin crossed just before the interval to leave Rainey 10 - 7 ahead.

 

Centres Friel and Sanderson saw plenty of the ball as Rainey tried to stretch the play at every opportunity.  Out-half Gareth Hall touched down under the posts for another converted try and Hunter scored again to seal a good win.
