Banbridge Academy and Cookstown High School met yesterday in the semi final of the McCullough Cup, at Lisnagarvey’s ground, in Royal Hillsborough.

By employing a very aggressive defence from the outset Banbridge shut down Cookstown, preventing them from passing out of their own half and starving them of possession.

A gritty Cookstown defense held firm in a scoreless 3rd quarter, before Cody Large sealed the game with a 49th minutes goal, in the 4th quarter, following a break.

Banbridge were worthy of their victory and now look forward to the McCullough Cup Final next week.
