Enniskillen Royal 1st XV 8
Armagh Royal 1st XV 5
Enniskillen Royal Grammar School 1st XV enjoyed an excellent win over their fellow Royal school counterparts from Armagh at the Eisenhower Playing Fields.
The Enniskillen RGS team had the upper hand of the first half and had taken a 3-0 lead in the course of the first half when Reece Smyton converted a penalty kick opportunity. Some very good defence by both teams saw the half time score remain at 3-0 to the home side.
The second half saw much of the same and the teams seem to be in a deadlock. However, the Enniskillen side seemed to step up a gear with the wind behind their backs and managed to force a penalty.
Smyton put the ball in the corner and from the ensuing lineout Jack Rutledge, returning from Ulster under18 duty, burst over the line to score a try. The conversion was unfortunately wide.
The RS Armagh team did mount something of a revival when they scored an unconverted try through Glen Faloon to reduce the deficit to 8-5. However, it was a case of too little too late as the Enniskillen Royal Grammar School team held on for their well deserved 8-5 win.
