Robert Baloucoune assisted by Tom Mills breaks for Portora
Portora Royal School 1st XV…13
Regent House 1st XV……………5
Fresh from last week’s comprehensive victory over Foyle College Portora followed that up with a 13-5 victory over Regent House at Castle Lane on Saturday morning.
Despite being 5-3 down at the break Portora came through a tough game against their visitors from Newtownards.
Adam Lendrum kicked the Portora team into a 3-0 lead when he converted a penalty kick five minutes into the game. Both defences held firm until the last play of the first half when the Regent House scrum half took advantage of a lapse in the Portora defence to snipe in for an unconverted try.
Shortly after the restart Lendrum was successful with another penalty to give the Portora team a 6-5 lead. Portora pressure on the Regent House defence paved the way for Marcus Crawford to score a try. Adam Lendrum was successful with the conversion to ensure a deserved 13-5 win for the Portora boys.
