A BLISTERING five minute spell at the start of the first half set an impressive Ulster South Country schools side up for a decisive 19 point win over a Connacht Schools selection in this schoolboys interprovincial at Hamilton Park Strandhill yesterday.

Tries by Stephen Beattie, and winger Andy Wilson in the opening five minutes gave the visitors a dreams start.

A try by Garbally College's Ivan Kelly and a penalty goal from scrum half, David Morris gave the home side some hope but Ulster continued to dominate and led by 21-8, at half time.

Tries by Stephen Beattie and centre Nathan Simpson put the game out of Connacht's reach.
