However as I arrived it was Crescent that were applying all the pressure with Armagh defending resolutely but struggling to get out of their own half. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It looked as though Armagh had weathered the storm as they kicked clear after five minutes of intense pressure but the kick was returned with interest by Crescent fullback Fionn Rowsome<\/strong> who’s offload send winger Sam Jordan<\/strong> clear for a try. Evan Cusack <\/strong>added the conversion to tie the game at 7 – 7 after 25 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Crescent continued to apply pressure but a break out by Armagh ended with Thomas Dougan<\/strong> crossing out wide to take the score to 15 – 7 to Armagh as the teams changed ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It was all Armagh in the second half. Zakir Majid<\/strong> crossed out wide after five minutes to push the score to 20 – 7 but it took them another 10 minutes to score again as Crescent continued to put in some big tackles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Harry Dougan <\/strong>was next to score sliding over midway between the posts and the left touch after a period of pressure in the Crescent 22 and with Lowey adding the extras the score rattled along to 24 – 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Seven minutes later Armagh’s Cameron Cummings<\/strong> got his reward for several enterprising breaks with a bustling run from deep which took the game to 29 – 7. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Both teams looked to create more chances in an enjoyable game but the game ended when a Crescent attack broke down, leaving Armagh deserved winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [foogallery id=”595648″]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It was a quick trot over from the hockey pitch to the rugby pitch at the Royal School Armagh on Saturday morning as the 1st XV entertained Limerick’s Crescent College who had made a three day trip to Belfast and Armagh.
