We caught up with the Burney Cup semi final between Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Friends School Lisburn on Wednesday afternoon at Stormont Pavilion.
The game was an interesting comparison between two different styles with RBAI determined to slowly build from the back and Friends happy to break quickly down both flanks and through the middle.
The more considered approach from RBAI paid off in the first quarter with the pressure yielding a penalty stroke, duly dispatched by captain George Palmer on the 7th minute, for a 1 – 0 lead which they took into the second quarter.
