But by the interval Bann had forged further ahead after the backs had handled well to give Ben Smith the space out wide to put him in for the third try.
Bann had to show their defensive qualities at the start of the second half but with Cromwell setting the example with his chop tackling, they were able to prevent Coleraine adding to their tally.
Smith picked up his second try after the backs had again shown their silky handling skills to set him off on a 50 metre run to the try line.
