Rugby
All of our rugby teams have progressed admirably, and each can look back on its own highlights. The 1st XV had a useful season, with a large number of young players coming through to play major roles in the second term. However, greater maturity and more clinical finishing by the backs could have ensured a very good season and perhaps a stage or two further in the Cup.
The Medallion players were good enough to reach at least the semi-final of the Shield. They should, perhaps, have beaten Larne in the quarter final at the first attempt. However, a below par performance in the replay brought defeat.
Both the 3rd XV and the Under 14s won their respective Plate competitions, satisfactory reward for solid seasons.
The 2nd XV had a great first term, but did not reach the same high standards after Christmas. Both the Under 13 and Form I groups had good solid seasons.
We congratulate William Martin, Christopher Nash and Jeff Henry on playing for the Ulster Schools’ XV, and a number of players who have been involved in various trials for this season’s Ulster Under 18 and Under 19 teams.
Again, we are privileged to have a large number of staff involved in the game at all levels – 18 [3 at 1/2 XVs, 3 at 3/4/5 XVs, 3 at Medallion, 3 at U14s, 3 at U13s and 4 at Form I].
