Cheers! Not a bad spread- a prop, a lock,2 backrows and 2 backs. What about the lads playing flyhalf?
Looks like the u19s did ok- won 24-7 Gibson, Burnett, Ward and Ellerby scored.

Don’t even know which team is the schools team anymore? Is it the u18,u19 or u20s?
Gone are the days when it was an honour to be selected for Ulster schools. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is a representative player now.
