Ross Dillon’s second half try, the only score for either side after the break, the difference between the teams at the Kingspan Stadium

Schools Cup in an entertaining and tightly contested final against Ballymena Academy, the game being in the balance until the final play.

Callum Soper, the son of Ulster coach Dan, and man of the match Adam Boyd, son of former Ulster player Clem, both had strong games for Inst who outscored Ballymena by three tries to two, Dillon’s 55th minute effort preceded by converted touchdowns from James Kerr and Boyd. Inst needed to respond and three minutes later Boyd got over from close range, Place’s conversion of the number eight’s score tying things up for the second time at 14-14 just before the interval.

The Belfast school also secured a jackal penalty from Dillon on their own line as Ballymena came again and it proved to be a turning point as, when Inst got access to their opponents’ 22, it was Dillon who struck again, burrowing over from close range.
