Armagh seconds secure League points The seconds entertained CIYMS in the conference league on Saturday at the Palace grounds in their first game for three weeks. There was no sign of rustiness however as the home side came out top 57-14 in a very entertaining game. In the early stages, both teams showed their intent with probing runs requiring a scramble defence to safeguard their line. Kyle Faloon stroked over a penalty on fifteen minutes which was matched by CIYMS shortly after. The home side where playing with a high tempo with Willie Martin and Stephen Morton providing the beef in the second row and Josh Kennedy, James and Ryan Morton in the back row taking the game to CI in the loose. From turnover ball in Armagh territory, Gerard Treanor whipped the ball right to Harry Boyd who shipped it out to Kyle Faloon. He took the ball at pace on the half way line to show the CI defence a clean pair of heels to touch down at the posts. With his conversion, the home team team led 10-3. A period of indiscipline by Armagh led to CI adding two penalties to their tally to leave the half time score 10-9 to Armagh. On the restart, good pressure on the CI offense by Evan Crummie and John Faloon led to a loose ball being snapped up by James Morton and then transferred for Owen O’Hagan who crossed the line close to the posts, 17-9. With the lineouts working well through Ryan Morton, Millar and Pete lamb, James Morton touched down for the first off his 2 tries and Millar followed suit shortly after to bring the score to 31-9. CI were shell shocked by the fluency of the Armagh attacking play in what turned out to be a one sided second half. Osin Kernan who had a strong game throughout, was up in support of the ball carrier to receive a try scoring pass to touch down out wide, 36-9. Kyle Faloon used his pace to cross again and then a missed tackle in the Armagh half led to CI touching down out wide for an unconverted try, 43-14 to Armagh. James Morton added his second try and Ollie Millar was on the end of a good Boyd cross field kick to scorch over from 40 metres out. With the score at 57-14 the referee blew up early to end a very comprehensive home performance. The interplay between forwards and backs was a joy to watch and with the first fifteen winning in Ballymena, it is heartening to know that the club is in a very strong position with great strength in depth.
