Ulster Schools' Cup FInal

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 2018/19 Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Cup Final. We’re now in the fourteenth year of our partnership with Ulster Schools’ rugby and are very proud of our association with this historic competition. SPONSOR'S WELCOME

acknowledge the welcome they have shown to Danske Bank colleagues, some of the competition’s most avid fans, at the many events and fixtures leading up to this final. For the players from Methody and Campbell, this is the most important match of their school rugby career. Dedication, skill and sheer sporting talent has led them to this final, a defining game which will be the pinnacle of their young sporting careers. Both teams have produced exciting displays of rugby throughout the tournament and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate them, along with their captains, coaches and supporters. On behalf of everyone at Danske Bank, I wish both teams the very best of luck on this memorable occasion and look forward to an exciting final. Kevin Kingston Chief Executive Of cer Danske Bank UK

Over the years we have seen how the Schools’ Cup has showcased the skills and talent of exceptional young players; helping open the door to a professional career and in many cases an international career too. We are making more possible for local communities and are privileged that we can do this through our partnerships with not only Ulster Schools’ Cup rugby, but also with the Northern Ireland Schools’ Football Association (NISFA) and Ulster Schools’ GAA. I would like pay tribute to the dedicated work of the Ulster Branch, who alongside the Ulster Schools’ Committee, make this tournament possible. I’d also like to
