Malone U14's welcomed Clogher Valley to a windy Gibson Park for their first cup game of the season. The difficult conditions led to a scoreless opening few minutes with Malone having the majority of possession and territory. After Malone had a try disallowed, Clogher Valley made a break from their own 22 and scored the first try of the match. Malone responded almost immediately and edged ahead when Fionn converted Charlie's try. The home team then stretched their lead when Callum A broke away for an unconverted try to leave the half time score 12-5. Malone started the second half strongly and stretched their lead to 17-5 when Riley scored in the corner. Clogher Valley stormed back into the match and with the wind at their backs scored two quick converted tries to lead 19-17. However, Malone responded well and scored two further tries through TJ and Ivan both of which were converted by David to leave the final score 31-19 to the Malone Red Sox.
