From the UB SAchools Section to start things off:-

Northern Bank Schools' Cup Quarter Final Draw
11 February 2008, 10:30 am
By Maire Cahill

Matches to be played on Saturday 23rd February 2008
Campbell College V Methodist College Belfast
Ballymena Academy V Grosvenor G.S.
Regent House V Royal School Armagh
Ballyclare High School V Omagh Academy


Disappointed that my old school didn't make it to the QFs this year. With Inst akready out and one of CCB and Methody sure to lose out in the QF round this has to be a great opportunity for one of the other historically less successful schools to lift the cup again.
