Bective outclass Midleton in push for promotion

Bective Rangers 20, Midleton 7

This AIB League second division tie was never less than interesting, but Midleton’s Damon Urlich admitted the better side won. “We defended well but had an awful lot of defending to do.”

Midleton will look back angrily that they didn’t make the most of a good start. Sure enough, they fell behind to an Anthony Ronan try that Feargal Campion converted, but the sides were level at the half-hour stage and the game was on.
