Roughfort was the venue, on a sunny Saturday morning, for the Medallion Shield semi-final, between Coleraine Grammar School and Royal Belfast Academical Institution.
Inst were quite tentative from kick off, as Coleraine took the game to them. A Ben Todd penalty goal after 4 minutes gave them a 3-0 lead.
