On Friday afternoon, as part of a double header, at Newforge Country Club, Ulster U17 Schools played the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy in a pre season friendly. Both sides had huge 30+ player squads, so the game was played over 2 x 20 minute periods & a 1 x 30 minute period, to ensure all players got game time.
