Ooh we've got Cambridge or Limavady. Bring it on!

I bet the Grosvenor/Ballyclare match was a good one.

So why is the result 15-15?

Two duff teams having average seasons playing out a 15-15 draw . . . sounds like a cracker

Larne didnt really beat a powerhouse of school rugby did they

Would you care to point out in my first post where I claimed that we did?!

we lost, tis a sad day, oh well another year of hoping.

Ha, another year indeed. Tony McQuirter is giving a hand at training these days though so things might start looking up at some point...still third round isn't a disgrace...and points on the board is an improvement from my day... my memories of Foyle are all bad... 63-0 being my least favourite time in the 1st xv

oo another dalriad?

We had a decent team this year and I had some hope we could have got further, especially as they had beat foyle away earlier in the year.

Sullivan beat RS Armagh

18-10

Wasn't a great match, highlight had to be a intercept pass in the Armagh 22 resulting in a try for Armagh. Great run by the Armagh centre!!

Armagh got their revenge in the Medallion shield yesterday. I thought I might have seen you there colin!

RSA ran out deserving winners after riding out a strong Sullivan performance during the first half. Sullivan were first on the score sheet with a penalty and probably edged the first half. They spurned a penalty shot from under the posts which would have established a useful 6 point lead, opting instead for a quick tap which didn't come off. RSA got a breakaway try at the death of the half to turn around with a 7-3 lead. In the second half the heavy pitch seemed to have drained all the life out of the visitors and RSA dominated, running in 4 more tries to record a convincing 33-3 win.

Ballyclare High beat Grosvenor in their replay. Not sure what the final score was however.
