Irish Schoolboys: Day One results

Results went pretty much to pre-tournament form with most of the favourites coming through unscathed. Bandon suffered the biggest fright, trailing 2-0 to Sutton Park after 18 minutes. They were still behind at half-time, 2-1, but, inspired by 15-year-old Darren Sweetnam, they fought back brilliantly to win 5-2.

Elsewhere in group C, Wallace caused a minor upset overturning their recent loss to Raphoe in the McCullough Cup to win 3-2.

In group A, Cookstown, missing just one player from last season's winning side, were in imperious form against the hosts and remain on course for a showdown with St Andrews.

Banbridge look to be Group B's strongest side with Ashton their main rivals while Wesley had a lively 7-3 win over Kilkeel. The Ballinteer-school looks impressive up front but will hope to keep it tighter at the back when they meet seven-time winners RBAI tomorrow.

Group A
Cookstown 12 Villiers 0; St Andrews 4 Kilkenny 0

Group B
Banbridge 3 High School 0; Ashton 4 Regent House 0

Group C
Sutton Park 2 Bandon 5; Raphoe 2 Wallace 3

Group D
Midleton 2 RBAI 4; Wesley 7 Kilkeel 3
