Emphatic win for Accies over Ballymoney

Ulster Championship One

Omagh Accies....68

Ballymoney....0

OMAGH secured an emphatic victory at the Thomas Mellon Playing Fields on Saturday with a dominant display against Ballymoney.

The Accies got off to a flying start with Scott Elliott crossing under the posts for the opening try, which he calmly converted himself.

The momentum kept rolling as David Braden powered over for the second, with Elliott again adding the extras.

Barely moments later, Shea Daly stormed through for the third score, and Elliott's boot was once more on target.

Elliott then turned provider, setting up Scott Barr to touch down for the fourth try, before slotting the conversion with ease to keep his flawless kicking streak alive.

Ryan Mitchell looked certain to add another after a blistering break but was dragged into touch just short of the line.

Scott Wilson soon made amends, however, dotting down for the fifth, with Elliott continuing his fine form from the tee.

Mitchell then finally got his reward, stretching the lead to 40–0, Elliott's sixth straight kick making it 42-0.

Sean Kerr produced a barnstorming run from deep to claim Omagh's seventh try of the half, Elliott again converting for a 49-0 scoreline at the break.

Kerr opened the second half with another powerful finish, though Elliott narrowly missed his first kick of the day, leaving it 54-0.

Mitchell grabbed his second of the match, and this time Elliott nailed a difficult conversion to extend the lead to 61-0.

Jamie Sproule was next on the scoresheet, pushing Omagh to 66 before Elliott's boot carried it further to 68-0.

Ballymoney showed more fight in the second half, but Omagh's defensive line stood firm to see out a commanding performance.
