Schools Cup: Rainey Endowed School 19 The Royal School Armagh 48 Semi Final

, , ,

On Tuesday afternoon The Kingspan Stadium hosted the first semi final between Rainey Endowed School and The Royal School Armagh. The sun shone and a stiff breeze was initially in Rainey’s favour.

Bailey Russell gave Armagh and early lead

Armagh gained field position early on and from a driving maul Bailey Russell detached and dived over in the left corner to put Armagh 5-0 up in less than 2 minutes.

Rainey fought back. Lorcan McClarnon stepped back inside on the halfway line and found a gap in the Armagh defence. He sprinted in to dive under the posts. Owen O’Kane’s conversion put Rainey 7-5 to the good on 9 minutes.

Cameron Cummings sprints over for Armagh . . .
