Ulster Carpets U18 Youth Cup Final:
Rainey 29 City of Armagh 21

The main game of the day was the U18 CE Bowman Cup, keenly contested by City of Armagh (recent winners of the U18 Nutty Krust Tournament) and Rainey. Rainey started the stronger but Armagh were not making it easy for them. Rainey eventually secured a 12-nil lead by half time and five minutes into the second half extended that to 19-0. It was another 10 minutes before Armagh got on the scoreboard with a converted try to make it 7-19, while Rainey replied with a penalty. Armagh closed the gap 14-22, but it wasn’t long before that gap widened again to 14-29. The game was not dead yet with Armagh bringing it back to 21-29, but they were finally beaten by the clock as Rainey thwarted Armagh’s quest for back-to-back U18 titles.
