The Front Row Union Sport - Senior Schools: Dromore High 50 Friends’ School 0 Schools Friendly

We called in with our friends at Dromore High on our way down to Dublin on Saturday morning and we were rewarded with some entertaining play, from both teams.

Unfortunately, our schedule only gave us time for the first half but we were still treated to four tries as Johnny Scott (2), Ryan Rodgers and Curtis Forbes all crossed with Ethan Mount converting three for Dromore to lead 26 – 0 at the break.

Johnny Scott crossed for two first half scores.

I’d say we’ll be getting games like this for a few months yet as the schools return to rugby at different rates. In truth, Friends’ weren’t that far off the mark in most aspect’s of the game but Dromore looked sharper, I’d guess through having a bit more game time in the last month.

Ethan Mount knocked over five conversions for Dromore during the match.

Dromore scored another four in the second half as Taylor Beacom-Hurle crossed twice before Rodgers added his second and Matthew Heasley finished off the scoring. Mount added two second half conversions to round the score up to Dromore High 50 Friends’ School 0.

We’re not reading too much in to any score, across all our coverage, at the moment, but both these teams are well coached and I’m sure both squads will get a lot out of this early season hit out. Thanks to the running rugby we got over 280 images from our half hour stint.
