They went in 5-0 at the interval after the pack mauled their way over just on half-time, backrow forward Adam Reid getting the touchdown.

But Wallace kept themselves in with a penalty from outhalf Nathan Doak.

However, another maul try from the pack - Reid again the beneficiary - and a superb try from fullback Ethan McIlroy, secured the victory for Methody.

McIlroy also converted both second half tries.

MCB will meet Campbell in the final on Monday, March 18, at Kingspan Stadium (3pm).
