Belfast’s position safe
Belfast has 17 points, not 16 as was shown on the table in Monday's edition of "The Press." in the' C.S.B. Cup senior rugby competition. The side’s record is eight wins: five losses and a draw. This means that. Belfast lies equal sixth with Burnside and with a healthy plus 59 match points differential is assured of a place in the top eight for the C.S.B. Trophy series, even if it loses to the Cup leader. Christchurch. in the final round on Saturday...
Linwood and Alb'ion are left as the two teams vying for the eighth place. Linwood is a point. 16 to 15. ahead of Albion and for Albion to come through it would have to beat Marist and Linwood would have to lose to Old Boys on Saturday, both unlikely’ results. A draw would be of little use to Albion, for even if it tied with Linwood in competition points, Linwood would survive on a countback. It has a plus 61 differential and Albion a minus four.
