Not at all but some insight personally in the boarding system. most schools here will offer is £500-£600 scholarship for academia or sport. The highest I have seen on websites Is RSD - £500 so in all sincerity schools here are not out scouting for talent overseas! Now poaching players from other schools may go on in a small minority of schools I suppose but sure you would be well aware of that!!

CBC fully deserved their win. Too many errors from MCB coupled with a big physical CBC pack made the difference in the end. .Early days but plenty to work on. No panic button at sportier just more hard work required.

Snipe has issues...evidently...must have lost a Schools Cup Final somewhere along the way...

Did I jack....I went to Portora.
I do indeed have issues, lots of them....

Chuckle- you are correct mate. MCB have had their fair share of top players over the years via the lure of boarding and small incentives and I guess I over egged the point but boarding does offer an advantage I guess. I love schools rugby and as i said before I come from a family with a school cup winner from MCB and RBAI and I have s soft spot for the RBAI side as my nephew ignited my interest in rugby as I was a secondary school centre half who never knew the game of rugby growing up. It's a great game with great people playing and following it.

Of course I meant the Enniskillen Schools Cup Final...

Nah we never lost to the high school or the Collegiate.

Good report on MCB v CBC game on INTOUCH RUGBY website. MCB were missing 5 players but as a result I believe they have unearthed a gem in Thomas Gallagher playing at 8 for injured Captain Zac Jordan ( who is fit for RBAI next week). L6th form pupil Thomas is the younger brother of schools cup winners James ( MCB x2) and Charles ( Campbell). This is only his second game and he was the best player on the pitch despite the loss. 17.5 stone tight head prop Aaron kilpattick was also a big miss as well with concussion. Early days.

Now obvious the scholarship MCB could offer was better than the competition Now for someone who professes to 'take an interest' you know a lot about the current team including their fitness and availability etc! Are you NW in disguise . Only joking you BEattiespastie. Don't want a cheeky reply this time

This so-called blow-in to Campbell has already played tight head for Ulster Schools against Munster Schools.
