Banbridge Academy 10-45 RBAI EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS Quarter-final 2024 Schools Cup Played at Banbridge Academy BANBRIDGE ACADEMY'S GAME REPORT Schools’ Cup ¼ final v RBAI Banbridge Academy 1st XV bowed out of the Schools’ Cup in an exciting match against the holders, and eventual repeat winners, Royal Belfast Academical Institution. A huge crowd gathered for the important game and it was a wonderful occasion and event for the whole school community. The Academy started the game very strongly and an early penalty attempt went wide, but on 5 minutes another RBAI infraction lead to Andrew Jackson kicking a penalty to take a 3-0 lead. RBAI however came back strongly and scored tries on ten, fifteen and twenty-two minutes but Banbridge rallied at the end of the half however, despite significant pressure, they were unable to score. The 2nd half started as the first ended with Banbridge throwing their all at RBAI, but again there was no reward and RBAI took advantage of some uncharacteristic mistakes to score three more tries to take the game away from the Academy. Banbridge never stopped fighting though and after another period of pressure, Hooker Connor Magee scored off the back of an impressive maul from the superb Banbridge forwards. Andrew Jackson slotted the conversion. The game finished however with another RBAI score, to leave the final score 10-43 to the Belfast school. While it was a disappointing end to the season for the Academy, they can be very proud of their efforts on the day. Unfortunately, the intensity of the game led to too many errors and RBAI are too good of a team to be given such opportunities.
