NI: Scottish lawyers suffer defeat in Ballymena friendly
The Glasgow Bar Association’s self-proclaimed ‘Golden Generation’ of footballers travelled to Ballymena on Saturday for a friendly match with Ballymena Utd as part of their ‘Peace & Goodwill Tour’ 2018.
The Glasgow team’s first overseas trip in nearly three decades saw a mix of established court practitioners, invited guests and others.
Tour captain Craig Dewar claimed the man-of-the-match award in a closely fought affair where the hosts ran out 2-1 victors, our sister publication Scottish Legal News reports.
Although the Bar scored first, the legal team couldn’t maintain their first hafl impetus and lost two second-half goals to the spirited home side.
They praised the home side’s “post-match hospitality and kindness”.
A return match is scheduled to be played in the coming months.
