We caught up with Friends School Lisburn this week when they played Larne Grammar on a blustery Saturday morning at the Grammar Playing Fields. Friends had given us quite a few exciting matches last year in their Schools Cup run including a win at this very venue in the opening rounds last season.

It was the Grammar who had the best of a stuttering first half as both teams struggled to cope with the officious referee. Playing with the wind it was Larne who went into an early lead with two well taken penalties from outhalf Phil Andrews and with the referee blowing frequently the match degenerated into a series of set plays in the middle of the park. Both defences performed well adding to the stop start nature of the game.

Friends eventually started to string a few moves together and coming up to the break they managed to send outhalf Paul Anderson clear on the right to score in the corner to bring the half time score to Larne 6 Friends 5.
