Maurice Finlay, Ballyclare RFC Mini Convener said, "It is an honour and a privilege to host the Mini festival in the Clubs 75th Anniversary year. The tournament continues to grow year on year and would not be able to happen without the dedication of sponsors, club members and all those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. I look forward to welcoming all of the teams to Ballyclare RFC and distinguished guests on the 20th April."
Andy Millar, Parts Manager, The Country Garage Ballymena, said: “We are delighted to be involved in such a well organised event. The festival successfully reinforces the importance of rugby and sport in the community and reaches out to a wide audience of all ages.”
