We caught up with the Medallion Shield match between Sullivan Upper and Larne Grammar at Sullivan on Saturday morning.

This was a tense encounter between two well matched sides as Larne’s flair was matched by Sullivan’s grunt.

Larne were on the defence early on and just as it looked like they were going to weather the storm Sullivan’s No 8 barged over from close range for the opening try, converted by their outhalf, for a 7 – 0 lead.

The visitors cut lose a few times with Jonnie Kennedy pulling the strings and they pulled it back to 7 – 7 after a break from Benjamin Sterling was taken on by Rory Kennedy for Sterling to finish it off close to the posts. Jonnie Kennedy added the extras.

Benjamin Sterling heads for the line for Larne’s try.

Larne should have added another seven as they ran the Sullivan midfield ragged . . .
