On Wednesday afternoon Ballyclare High School and Limavady Grammar School met in the Schools Bowl Final at the Kingspan Stadium. It was grey and overcast. A strong wind blew down the pitch, initially in Limavady’s favour.
After some big carries by the Ballyclare pack it was Limavady who took the lead, when James Laird converted an 8th minute penalty goal for a 3-0 lead.
Ballyclare settled with the pack doing the majority of the work into the wind.
After a forward drive close to the line, Austin Adair burrowed over, from close range, mid-way out on the left. James Woodside converted to put Ballyclare 7-3 up on 17 minutes.
