We caught up with the Ulster Hockey Schoolboys Burney Cup Final between Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College At Havelock Park on Thursday evening.

The teams battled out a tight first quarter though Campbell’s keeper Thomas Costelloe was the busier of the two keepers. Inst finally got past Costelloe in the final minute with a well placed penalty corner from John Cunningham.

In a dominant second quarter Inst added two more goals, from three penalty corners. John Cunningham picked up his second score with another well placed direct shot and captain Michael Hollway got a touch at the near post for the third to give RBAI a 3 – 0 lead at half time.

Jacob McIlhatton watches his shot into the net.

RBAI continued to push forward throughout the third quarter causing a few scrambles in the in the Campbell circle. The busy Jacob McIlhatton was able to ride a challenge from Costelloe . . .
