Methodist College 27
Sullivan Upper 12
IRELAND WAVED GOODBYE to the country’s greatest midfield partnership on Saturday but their could be hope for the future in the form of an exciting Ulster duo.
Connor McKee and Alastair McIvor combined to score three tries for Methodist College at Ravenhill this afternoon as their team defeated Sullivan Upper 27-12 to claim the Ulster Schools Senior Cup. The pair’s display was reminiscent of Brian O’Driscoll and Gordon D’Arcy in their Irish pomp and was vital in Methody collecting the cup for a third season in a row.
McKee scored his side’s first two tries to help open up a 12-0 lead. Sullivan, coached by former Ulster and Ireland forward Willie Anderson, responded through Chris Jordan before McIvor made a superb intercept and sprinted in Methody’s third from more than 60 metres out.
Johnny Betts gave Sullivan hope of a second half comeback but Methodist, in their 37th Senior Cup final, regrouped and hit back with tries from Josh Jordan and Rory Cairns. The Belfast side’s pack was a force of nature throughout while their backline, including the impressive McKee and McIvor, caused Sullivan problems all day.
As an Arsenal supporter Liverpool are the only top English team I wouldn’t begrudge a good run in Europe..that been said I’l b watching the showcase game
@Michael: Will you be watching the Arsenal v nobody cares or the soaps tomorrow?
@Griff: osterunds good side griff
@Griff: Well that was hilarious…….and yes as an arsenal supporter I will be watching…salty much?
If it’s half a exciting as the Spurs/Juve match last night it’ll be brilliant
@Mel Fitzpatrick: watch the other game that’s on tonight, that’ll be more entertaining I’d imagine.
To clarify, I’m not saying this’ll be dull, I’m just saying the other game is Real Madrid vs PSG
@Dave O Keeffe: what are you trying to say Davo?
@Jamie Smith: he was pretty clear
@Dave O Keeffe: I can’t believe you’ve implied so very clearly that the Liverpool game will be really dull
@Michael: just wait Micheal his next question will be “ I wonder who you support ? “
@Dave O Keeffe: Ah you’re right Dave but being a Liverpool follower ill have to watch this one. I’ll catch the highlights afterwards.
@The Family Guy: gobdaw
@Mel Fitzpatrick: hope you had fun. Definitely worth a watch for a Liverpool fan. A very good win
Just thrilled Robertson is playing if moreno was back in I think I’d have a meltdown, decent side porto but hopefully over the 2 legs we should get through.
@Gareth Fitzpatrick: only time Moreno should be on the pitch from now on is collecting the water bottles.
@Shaun Gallagher: agree 100% shaun he’s awful, or as we used to say years ago gank.
Think Liverpool can get manage a win here but theyll have to work very hard. Away goal will be important.
@2nd account: are 5 enough?
@Jamie Smith: might do
Get In. Good man Bobby.
Whack of another Istanbul is tangible. #6 very possible. Imagine the haters !
@England’s Envy: I doubt it very much
