Banbridge Academy pulled away in the second half to defeat Larne Grammar 30 – 7 in the opening round of the Schools Cup.

Academy’s tries came from David Houston, Jay Pinion, Ethan Harbinson and Nathan McKinley with Daniel McElderry converting two to ad to a first half penalty. Larne’s try came from Jonathan Glasgow with Callum McKay adding the conversion.

Academy took an early lead with winger Houston forcing his way over in the corner and despite missing the difficult conversion full back McElderry quickly made amends with a long range penalty to give the home side a 8 – 0 lead.
