On Saturday morning, St Mary’s College, from Dublin, were the visitors to Osborne to play Royal Belfast Academical Institution in a Schools Friendly.
It was obvious from kick off that defences would dominate play. Both sides tackled fiercely with no quarter asked nor given.
Eventually a defensive error let St Mary’s in. Donal Manzoor slipped off a couple of tackles to score in the left corner. Paul Neary’s conversion from the narrow angle gave St Mary’s a 7-0 lead after 18 minutes.
Defences couldn’t be breeched for the rest of the first half and St Marys led 7-0 at halftime.
The second half started as the first half ended with defences on top.
