Methodist College hosted Munster giants, Christian Brother’s, Cork, and emerged from the game with a well-deserved 37-8 victory.
The Munster team took a 5-0 lead when they took advantage of a poor Methodist College clearance kick and touched down for an unconverted. However, the Methodist College team recovered and their pack started to produce some quality possession. The Methody midfield trio of Josh Bingham, Alistair McIvor and Connor McKee used the possession wisely and created a number of try scoring opportunities for their team mates. Connor McKee capped a fine personal performance with a number of tries with Louis Trainor and Rory Cairns running in tries on the Methody wings. Alistair McIvor and Steven Weir scored tries for the Methody team as well with Josh Bingham successful with a number of conversions as well as a penalty. Conor Kelly, playing at full back, was also a constant threat to the CBC defence. Michael Lagan, Steven Weir and Alex Thompson all impressed with their performances in the Methodist College pack as did Saul Herdman who was responsible for making a number of crucial turnovers during the game.
