Down High U13 A’s 19 Friends U13 A’s 0
Down High U13’s made the journey to Lisburn on Saturday to face a very strong Friends side.
The match kicked off with early dominance by the Down high boys. Our pack were clearing out every ruck to give Terry easy ball at the breakdown. This early dominance soon paid off, as quick hands from the backs saw Marcus Graham dive in at the corner. It was a very tough kick for Paddy, but his after-school practising has really paid off as he stuck it right between the posts.
After the kick off, the ball was moved out the wing were Angus Ferris’s speed took him up to the 22. The ball was transferred out the line for Jonny McCoubrey to score. Just before halftime Zac Ward was using his powerful handoff to good use as he gained some valuable ground, but the ball was knocked on.
After a great first half from Nathan Rogerson, making some great tackles and rucking well, we brought on our secret weapon Clayton Milligan.
The Friends kick off bounced out of play but the Down High line out was stolen. Friends transferred the ball out the wing were William Annett made a great tackle. Zac Ward and Matthew Porter were on hand to steal the ball and get possession back in Down High’s favour. Terry gave the ball to Jonny McCoubrey who kicked into space. A great chase from Terry Hutley and Matthew Dougherty forced their fullback to kick the ball out.
Friends stole the lineout and kicked the ball down field. William Annett caught the ball and ran it up field. The forwards won the ruck and a great 2 on 1 with Matthew Dougherty and Jonny McCoubrey saw Jonny score again under the posts. Paddy converted to make the final score 19-0.
