In the 1st half Inst had the better of the territory winning 4 penalty corners, but unable to convert any of them. Banbridge seemed to sit back and absorb the pressure, before breaking out.
In a devastating 3 minutes before halftime Banbridge changed the whole complexion of the game. On 26 minutes they won a penalty corner, which Ben Thompson tucked away, followed by another penalty corner after 29 minutes, converted by Adam McKee.
Banbridge led 2-0 at halftime.
