Newry have made it two from two with a win at home against Belfast High School.
The Blue and Whites established dominance early on with strong carries from Captain Lorcan McComiskey, Joseph McConville and Owen McWall.
Newry looked dangerous with ball in hand, and it didn’t take long for Joseph McConville to score the first try of the game, after a couple of good carries by the forwards near Belfast High School line.
More tries followed with scores coming from Jacob Keenan, Bell and Lorcan McComiskey before the Belfast team replied with two of their own before half time.
The second half fell into a familiar pattern with Ciaran Mathers from none and Conleith King from ten controlling the pace and territory of the game.
Newry's forwards showed great physicality, punching holes that created space for the backs to use their pace and footwork to finish off moves well.
A strong performance from Newry Under 18s to maintain their 100% start to the season.
Final score: Newry 57 - Belfast HS 12
Try scorers: Joseph McConville x 3, Jacob Keenan x 2, Lorcan McComiskey x 2, James Bell, Owen McWall.
Conversions: Ciaran Mathers x 6
