Rugby: Rainey IV advance in the McCambley Cup
Rainey took their chances and defended stoutly when they had to, progressing to the next stage on a 17-0 scoreline.
Rainey were able to bring in the experienced James McGoldrick and Fintan Martin which allowed them to make a couple of positional switches and they were well on the way with two tries in the first 15 minutes.

Letterkenny then pressed for a spell and missed a kick at goal leaving Rainey 12-0 up at the interval.
Rainey took a major step towards a semi-final place when they moved a tap penalty and No.8 Miller burrowed his way over from a ruck. Devlin converted.
Rainey remained in control and held out well when the Donegal side staged a late rally. They will face much stiffer opposition in the semi-final when they travel to Cookstown.
