Larne Grammar went down to a heavy defeat to East Antrim rivals Ballyclare High on a bright and breezy Saturday morning at the Cairncastle Road Playing Fields.
Ballyclare have certainly started the new season in fine style having already posted wins over Ballymena Academy, BRA and Methody this season and Larne Grammar were sept aside with a seven try blitz from the High School.
It was Larne who went ahead with an early penalty and the new look Grammar side pushed hard during the opening twenty minutes of this fixture. However Ballyclare began to get on top thanks to their powerful scrum and excellent work from their back row of D Allen, P McMechan and J Darling who competed strongly at every breakdown.
Ballyclare finally got on the score sheet after 25 minutes with a try from McMechan and they hit a tiring Larne side with two more before the break with Darling and Butler both crossing. C Millar converted two to take the half time score to 3 -19.
