Quinn Armstrong splits the Armagh defence with an outstanding flat pass to James Gould and the hooker has the pace to match his power to charge into the Armagh 22 and set up the chance!

Arguably Wallace should score before they do as a couple of passes don’t go, but it isn’t to matter as McDonagh smashes over from close range once again!

And Armagh will now have a chance to properly clear as a forward pass from Luke Dillon searching for Joshua Booth on the wing drifts forward on the Armagh 10!

Brilliant work on the floor by Ben Moore and Wallace have the turnover penalty… but Quinn Armstrong misses touch and Armagh clear!
24′

Effective clearance work from Wallace as they win the scrum and the kick goes out at their own 10m line for the Armagh throw.
22′

But this time the chance goes begging as Armagh knock-on in contact five metres from the line! I genuinely think that might be the first scoreless visit to the 22 from either team and we’re over halfway through this first half.

Excellent kick in behind by Evan Hughes to force the Wallace defence to turn, and the Lisburn school do superbly to recover and recycle the ball, but Armagh have the field position to play with as the line-out is theirs on the edge of the Wallace 22.

This is just brute strength from Wallace High as eight-man rugby gets them their second try and back into the lead!

Ironically, it’s the backs who start it off as centre Harry Daniel makes the initial surge that gets them into the 22, but from there it’s all about the forwards as Rio McDonagh, Gould, Ben Moore and Sam Warwick all have surges that take them closer to the whitewash and eventually scrum-half Alex Stevenson is able to fling the pass to Gould who dives under the posts for the seven-pointer!

What an offload from Evan Hughes!

Armagh win the line-out in the middle and everyone piles into the maul, with Wallace having to sack it illegally to prevent the try, but the Armagh forwards go to work to punch some holes in the defence before Hughes rides a tackle and flings the offload away to centre Cummings to go over!

Another chance for Armagh to strike as a hand in the line-out from a Wallace man allows Evan Hughes to kick them to the Wallace five-metre line!

He won the turnover penalty to get Wallace into the 22 and it’s only deserved that McDonagh is the man who gets the try, Wallace playing with penalty advantage as the maul is sacked illegally by Armagh and after an outstanding tackle on the line by Sam Gray to halt Quinn Armstrong from getting over, it’s loosehead prop McDonagh who wrestles over!
6′
Adam McKendry
Immediate chance for the Lisburn school to strike back as loosehead prop Rio McDonagh gets in over the ball for a turnover penalty just outside the Armagh 22, but fly-half Quinn Armstrong instead goes for the corner!

Adam McKendry
Great strike from the fly-half and the ball kisses off the left post and over!
4′

Excellent work from Armagh tighthead Cameron Dale as he latches on the ball on the Wallace 10 and wins the turnover penalty! Looks like Evan Hughes will go for goal.
2′
Adam McKendry
Early impact from Armagh captain Thomas Dougan, who charges down a box kick from Wallace scrum-half Alex Stevenson, but the number eight can’t gather the bouncing ball cleanly and it’s Wallace who have the scrum just outside their own 22!
