Former Academy mini rugby player Iain Henderson called into Roughfort to show some young protégés from Carrickfergus mini section and Academy mini section what they could win in the future if they train hard and listen to their coaches. Wise words indeed.

Hundreds of pictures were taken for friends and families and many seemed keen to send to some of their English friends and work colleagues.

A great day of rugby was had at Roughfort with some superb attacking and defending from both teams.

Both Billy McKeown and Phil Ingram thanked Iain for organising the trophy to come north of the border and the groundsman Anton Gaw for having kept the pitches in such great order for the friendly fixture to take place.
