Dalriada hosted Cambridge House on Saturday morning at St James Road in the second round of the Schools Cup with the home side coming out on top by 15 – 0.

One of these days we’ll get to cover Dalriada without a constant drizzle, but this wasn’t the day. The match started without the rain but it soon arrived and stayed for the duration making conditions difficult for rugby and photography!

Cambridge House enjoyed the better of the early exchanges but any hope of building continuity was spoiled by the abrasive Dalriada defence and a constant stream of transgressions at the ruck which gave Dalriada a few easy outs and a foot hold on game.

In fairness, both teams put in a lot . . .
