Rugby HT: Derry behind against Dungannon

City of Derry trail Dungannon at half-time in the All Ireland League Division 2B clash at Judge’s Road.

Playing against a strong breeze, the home side went behind to a 12th minute penalty.

The visitors doubled their advantage with another successful penalty seven minutes later.

Derry took the lead for the first time in the 26th minute when Neil Burns converted a Simon Logue (pictured) try.

Dungannon regained the lead with a third successive penalty three minute before the break.

Derry have it all to do in the second period if they are to avoid back-to-back defeats.

Before kick-off, a minute’s silence was observed in memory of former Derry City striker Mark Farren who died on Wednesday last after a lengthy battle against cancer.
