Despite schools being on half term we managed to catch a Schools Friendly match between Banbridge Academy and Regent House senior squads early Saturday morning.

Banbridge took the lead thirteen minutes in with a try from their wing Darragh Knox, converted by Andrew Jackson and four minutes later the Academy full back Joey Mackrell crossed to take the score to 14 – 0 after Jackson converted.

The home team got over for a third converted try just before half time, this one through the forward as Callum Little battled over, Jackson’s conversion taking it to 21 – 0 to Banbridge at the break.
