Down High U14s 10-0 Campbell College U14s
Down High welcomed Campbell College for what they knew was going to be a very tough match. Several players were missing due to injury or promotion to the medallion side and Down High knew they would have to rise to the challenge.
Down kicked off into Campbell's half with their flanker making a clean catch but Callum Dunn made an important tackle preventing the flanker from gaining ground. Down High kept Campbell in their half with good tackling from Alex Martin and Michael Donaldson. Eventually Down turned the ball over supplying Jack Carlisle with the ball to land a perfect kick into the corner where they could apply more pressure to Campbell's back line. In the line out Campbell fumbled the ball forward giving Down a scrum in a promising position. Down were camped on Campbell's 5 metre line for a number of phases. Then outside centre Harris McConnell cut a line off inside centre Daniel Millington to score in the corner. Unluckily Rhys Patterson's conversion attempt narrowly missed the posts. Down kept the pressure up but didn't convert their chances.
