It was overcast, but very mild on Saturday morning, when Regent House met Craigavon Senior High School in a 3rd Round Medallion Shield tie in Newtownards.

Regent set about their task and were rewarded with an 8th minute unconverted try by Daniel Moore, after a series of drives. Evan McGonigle ran in from deep and conveted his own try to give Regent a 12-0 lead after 14 minutes. 

The pressure on the Craigavon line was relentless. Ewan Baker and Jack Sharpe scored unconverted tries after 20 and 28 minutes respectively and Tom Bell’s try, on the halftime whistle, converted by McGonigle gave Regent a commanding 29-0 lead.
