On Saturday morning Blackrock College were the visitors to Osborne to play Royal Belfast Academical Institution.
From kick off Blackrock set up camp in the Inst half. By drawing Inst players in to rucks and mauls, they created space out wide. Only ferocious and sometimes last gasp tackling by Inst prevented scores.
Eventually the dam broke after 16 minutes, when Charlie Maloney cut back inside, after space was created on the left, to score. Conor O’Shaughsey’s conversion had Blackrock leading 7-0.
Inst had territory and possession but couldn’t make it count, with Blackrock’s aggressive defence turning the ball over, at vital times.
