ON Monday October 18 Dromore U13s A and B-Team played Carrick Grammar.

The A's were in brilliant form, playing excellent open running. Dromore dominated the game from start to finish scoring nine brilliant tries. Six of the tries were converted by out half Alex Walker.

From the kick off Dromore showed that they are going to make life very difficult for Grosvenor by dominating all aspects of the game. The first try came from a lineout where the forwards work well sitting up a brilliant mall and driving Carrick over the line scored by Adam Cromwell.

Five minutes later it was the backline who showed brilliant skill creating the overlap out wide for Jacob Dickson to score in the corner. With Dromore now dominating the game they went on to beat Carrick 57-5, scoring nine excellent tries.

Tries: Jacob Dickson, Marcus Heath 2, Curtis Jackson 2, Alex Walker 2, Jack Morton and Adam walker; conversions: Alex Walker 6.

The B-Team went out with players trying different positions and putting pressure on the A-Team for places played good rugby, scoring three tries.

However it was Carrick Grammar who had the final say in winning the game . Good to see so many players turning out for practise.

On Wednesday October 20 Dromore High School travelled to Friends to play their second XV. This was a game that both teams have been looking forward to quite a while.

From kick off, everyone could see that this was going to be both a very strong and physical match with both teams showing determination to take the honours.

Nerves got the better of both teams in the first half with players making errors that the opponents could not maximise on. Dromore boys were still unsettled when Friends managed to score and convert a try just before half time.

In the second half the Dromore boys came out a totally different side and they dominated play from start to finish scoring 26 points from four excellent tries.

It was an excellent game and both teams enjoyed the atmosphere and competition.
