The Eagle Impact Rugby Academy were once again the visitors to Newforge Sports Complex for a double header of games on Sunday. First up Ulster Clubs U17 provided the opposition for EIRA U17s.
Ulster raced to an early 14-0 lead with tries from prop forwards, Conor McKinney, 3 minutes, and David Nelson, 8 minutes. Both were converted by Ben Todd.
After a brief period of EIRA pressure Charlie Clarke scored in the left corner to make it 19-0 to Ulster.
Ulster continued to apply pressure. Joe Rice de Cruz scored under the posts for Alex Turkington to convert for 26-0 on 22 minutes.
Despite having the lion’s share of possession Ulster failed to capitalise with another score before halftime.
In the second half defences cancelled each other out, in a game played largely between the 22s.
