Schools Rugby Ulster Senior Cup: Campbell College - 27 BRA - 6 Campbell College are now just one game away from repeating their 2002 Ulster Schools' Senior Cup success after easing past BRA with a comfortable four-try victory at Ravenhill yesterday.

The Campbell pack dominated the set-pieces, providing a steady stream of quality possession for their hard-running backs who caused BRA all manner of problems with full back Robbie Boyd scoring two tries.

BRA opened the scoring with a penalty after three minutes from winger Rory Drysdale but Campbell's reply was swift and effective as Blair Clements raced in for a try, converted by Greer Winnington.

Campbell's dominance up front lead to their second try after 30 minutes when they drove over from a lineout with hooker Adam Bradford scoring an unconverted try, before Rory Drysdale kicked a penalty for BRA to make the score 12-6 at the interval.

Winnington kicked a penalty just after the break and Campbell put the game beyond BRA after 62 minutes when quick ruck ball was fed out to Boyd who showed good power to make the line for a converted try.

Boyd ran in a fourth try in the closing stages to make sure of a place in the final.
