Match report Ards 3rds v Holywood

Ards 3rds 44 v Holywood 2nds 17

Ards 3rds hosted a much changed Holywood 2nd XV to Hamilton Park last Saturday in this lunch time kick off.

Under the leadership of Davy Thompson Ards again proved to be too strong for their local neighbours running in 8 tries with the aforementioned Thompson scoring 2.

Full back Mike Taylor kept up his try scoring since his return from injury; other try scorers included Sam McVeigh, Andy Crozier and Paddy Bond.

Young outhalf Alex Gaw continues to improve, gaining invaluable experience playing alongside the European Cup winning scrum half and Andy Matchett and the returning Stevie Bell.
