U18 High Schools Cup: Bangor Academy 15 St Louis Grammar School 7 Final

, , ,

Bangor Academy and St Louis Grammar School, Ballymena clashed at high noon in the U18 High Schools Cup Final, played at Tom Simms Memorial Park, Carrickfergus.

A calm sunny day, though soft underfoot, made for ideal conditions for running rugby. Both teams showed passion, commitment and a willingness to run the ball from all areas of the pitch in what was a belter of a final.
