Flawless Belvedere College lay marker as Newbridge overrun

Belvedere College 34 Newbridge College 0: Last year’s finalists Belvedere College delivered a near-perfect performance at Donnybrook yesterday afternoon, as they recorded a comprehensive victory over Newbridge College in the Leinster Schools’ Senior Cup first round.

Several of last year’s Belvo squad have returned and they eventually broke down a stubborn Newbridge rearguard with a 13th-minute try from hooker Cian Galvin.

Centre Conor Jennings added two points from the subsequent conversion, and he enhanced the north Dublin school’s superiority with a five-pointer just two minutes later.
