Belfast High and Foyle College kicked off the Danske Bank Schools Cup in atrocious conditions at the Shore Road Belfast on Saturday morning.

The trip was certainly worthwhile for the visitors who returned to the North West with a place in the second round after a 7 – 21 win thanks to tries from Conal Gill and Killene Thornton and three penalties and a conversion from the boot of Matthew Orr. Belfast High scored a first half try from Tyler Arnold with Simon White adding the conversion.
