Belfast High’s cup run came to an end at the hands of a powerful Sullivan Upper with the Holywood side scoring four tries in their 16 -27 win on Saturday morning.

The home side enjoyed a bright start to this fourth round fixture putting Sullivan under pressure for large periods of the opening quarter. Two beautifully struck penalties from Belfast’s out half Robbie Fryers put the home side into a 6 – 0 lead but with another penalty striking the post the six point lead was sparse reward for their territorial advantage.

Sullivan eventually found their game and started moving the ball well and early in the second quarter centre Oliver Matthews and wing forward Ollie Loughead made good ground on the left taking play deep into the High School 22. From a resulting line out the ball was fed to Matthews who made the line for the visitors opening score. Fullback Ross Adair converted and the visitors were in front 6 – 7.
