PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all here to Kingspan Stadium this St. Patrick’s Day afternoon for the final of the Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Cup.

sponsorship of schools’ rugby in Ulster. They have been the sponsor of the Schools’ Cup competition for over 11 years and the Ulster Branch are delighted with the partnership. The traditional St. Patrick’s Day Final at Kingspan is one of the great occasions in the rugby calendar and eagerly anticipated by all followers of the game. I hope that you all have a very enjoyable and fruitful experience. Ulster’s next home game is against Connacht on April 1st and a full stadium behind them would give our players the impetus needed to defeat the PRO12 league leaders. I hope to see you there. Yours in rugby, Bobby Stewart // President IRFU (Ulster Branch)

The Ulster Schools’ Challenge Cup has the distinction of being the second oldest rugby competition in the world and is being competed for today by the holders Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College. Both of these schools have a very strong tradition in the competition with Inst having 34 wins and Campbell 27. For some boys, today is the pinnacle of their rugby playing career, and others will go on to have greater achievements within the sport. In recent years, current Ulster and Ireland players like Craig Gilroy, Paddy Jackson, Iain Henderson and Stuart Olding have all played in a Schools’ Cup Final with varying degrees of success. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Danske Bank for their generous

this tournament possible, and acknowledge the welcome they have shown to Danske Bank at the many events and fixtures leading up to this final. For the players from Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College, this is the most important match of their school rugby career. They have dedicated their entire sporting life to reaching this final, a defining game which will be the pinnacle of their young sporting careers. Both Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College have produced exciting displays of rugby to make it to this final and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the teams, their captains and their teachers. On behalf of everyone at Danske Bank, I wish them all the very best

The Schools’ Cup is one of the most highly anticipated sporting events of the year, with a strong following of pupils past, present and future from across Ulster. This year’s final will see two previous winners, Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College go head to head. Over the years the Schools’ Cup has showcased many exceptional young players who have gone on to represent Ireland on the international stage. Tommy Bowe, Paddy Jackson and Craig Gilroy are now household names and stars of the rugby world. A look at the Ulster squad over the last few years gives a clear indication of how many have used the competition as a stepping stone to move into a professional playing career. At Danske Bank we take great pride in our role supporting the development of such amazing young talent in local rugby. I would like to give special thanks to the Ulster Branch who have worked alongside the Ulster Schools’ Cup Committee to make

of luck on this memorable occasion. Kevin Kingston // Chief Executive Danske Bank UK

On behalf of the Schools’ Committee, it is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to Kingspan Stadium this afternoon for what promises to be an intriguing Danske Bank Schools’ Cup Final, contested by The Royal Belfast Academical Institution and Campbell College. WELCOME FROM STEPHEN BLACK

Turning to today, we look forward to the prospect of two well respected teams marking the occasion with an enjoyable and high quality game. Both schools have displayed impressive form throughout the season, building upon the potential shown by their Medallion Shield teams of recent years. Following the success of Campbell College in 2013, this competition has been dominated by RBAI with three successive Medallion Shield triumphs, highlighting clearly the current rugby- playing strength of both schools whilst paying tribute to the influence of their coaches at all levels. Add in the success of RBAI in last year’s Schools’ Cup Final and it is no shock that these teams have reached today’s showpiece occasion. The sides have had contrasting routes to the final with the East Belfast school facing ‘seeded’ opposition on only one occasion, albeit a closely contested game with their great rivals, Methodist College, which resulted in a one point victory for the home side at Fox’s Field. Campbell College’s other victories were at Friends’ School in round 3 and a semi-final win over Dalriada School at Kingspan Stadium. On the other hand, RBAI faced ‘seeded’ opposition in each game, achieving comprehensive victories over Coleraine Grammar School and Sullivan Upper School at Osborne Park before overcoming the challenge of a formidable Ballymena Academy side in an excellent game at this venue. Both semi-finals proved to be excellent advertisements for our schools’ game, not only in terms of the quality of rugby on show but also in the atmosphere provided by the supporters from all the schools. I look forward to similar excellence both on and off the field today. The Schools’ Committee, and all our schools, are indebted to Danske Bank for their continued support and generosity without which we squads and player development programmes. I am delighted to welcome their Chief Executive, Kevin Kingston, and other Danske Bank representatives to what represents their 11th Schools’ Cup Final as our sponsors and to thank them for all they do on our behalf.

Over the 140 year history of the competition, these two famous Belfast schools have met each other in 12 finals, with Campbell College having six victories, RBAI having four victories and the games in 1954 and 1960 ending in draws. School historians will have noted that today is, in fact, the 100th anniversary of the first meeting of the schools in a Schools’ Cup Final, an occasion on which RBAI proved victorious. However, recent Schools’ Cup Final encounters favour the East Belfast school as one needs to go back to 1951 to record an RBAI success in a Schools’ Cup Final between these two rivals. The most recent Schools’ Cup Final meeting took place only five years ago with the Campbell College side recording an 18-11 victory over their RBAI rivals. It is worth noting that the winning team captained by John Creighton, who has gone on to represent Ulster ‘A’, included current Ulster player Rory Scholes in addition to Chris Farrell, who is now playing his rugby in the French Top 14 for Grenoble. It would seem safe to assume that today’s teams will include individuals who will end up playing at a similar level. For some of the players, initial steps have already been taken on that pathway as each side is sprinkled with Ulster representative players from U19, U18 and U17 age groups, many of whom will have played together in our interprovincial teams. Four of those players, James Hume, Rhys O’Donnell and Callum Reid (RBAI) and Tom O’Toole (Campbell College) will be meeting up again next week as part of the two Ireland U18 squads who will compete in tournaments over Easter, though I am certain that whatever camaraderie exists will be set aside for 70 minutes today. Indeed, the contest between Callum and Tom at scrum time may be one to keep an eye on. I offer our congratulations, and best wishes, to those players and to our other Ulster Schools’ representatives chosen this week to represent Ireland at U18 and U19 levels – Alexander Clarke, Bruce Houston, Jonathon McKeown and Marcus Rea (all Ballymena Academy), Matthew Dalton (BRA) and Jonny Stewart (Wallace High School).

SCHOOLS’ COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME would struggle to meet all the demands of our competitions, never mind our representative

Similarly I am pleased that many of the Principals and and Masters in charge of Rugby from our participating schools are also joining us today. Without their support and continued commitment to the game, rugby in Ulster could not flourish. I hope that you enjoy the occasion and this rare opportunity to socialise with colleagues away from the normal day-to-day challenges which you face. Another group to whom the Schools’ Committee owes much gratitude for their assistance throughout the season is the Ulster Society of Rugby Football Referees and I offer best wishes to today’s officials, led by referee Stuart Gaffikin. I hope they have an enjoyable game without controversy. There are many people working behind the scenes to ensure the success of schools’ rugby and the development of schools’ players in Ulster and I thank them all. Including the members of the Schools’ Committee for their dedication to develop our game and the administration of all our competitions; the administrative staff at Ulster Rugby, particularly Jill and Lesley; our PRO, ‘Barney’ McGonigle who ensures that schools’ rugby gets unsurpassed coverage in the press; the Ulster Rugby professional staff, under the direction of Kieran Campbell, who are supporting the development of players and coaches in schools and, of course, all those coaches and assistants who are working with our young players. Without this contribution, schools’ rugby in Ulster would be in a much poorer place. Finally, I trust that today will be an occasion to remember with all involved proving themselves as excellent ambassadors for their schools and for our great game. I wish the coaches, under the leadership of Dan Soper and Brian Robinson, and the players from both schools all the best for today… may the better side win.

Stephen Black // Chairman Ulster Schools’ Committee

GOOD LUCK RBAI

When I say double, I'm usually talking about one of my chins but not this time! This could be such a special year for the RBAI. To do the double would be amazing, and to beat Campbell College would put even more icing on the cake. I can still remember the time they beat me when I captained the 2nd XV but that was many decades ago… To all the boys - enjoy your big day and be very, very proud that you are part of this special occasion - it is a remarkable achievement to have reached the final. Good luck too to Campbell College but I truly hope we absolutely slaughter you today! Stephen Nolan // Past pupil BBC Radio & Television Presenter

I would like to wish the Inst squad and management good luck in the Schools' Cup Final and to enjoy the occasion which will be remembered for the rest of your lives. Don’t forget you will be representing not just yourselves, your family and friends but all those who went before you at the school,

someone like myself who never played in or won a final and many others who

simply went to Inst. Good luck! Dr David Irwin // Past pupil Ex-Ulster, Ireland and British Lions player. Ulster Rugby Team Doctor

GOOD LUCK CAMPBELL

I would like to say best of luck to both sides today, but I'd be lying. Having played at Campbell for my entire school career and now living on their grounds. I owe them a huge debt for developing me and preparing me for life as a professional rugby player. To John McKinney, Brian Robson and my Saturday morning golf partner, Jonny Cupitt, best of luck! But more importantly to the players who represent the College today, enjoy the occasion, wear the CCB crest with pride and fill the jersey with the passion that it deserves. Ne Obliviscaris. Paddy Wallace // Past pupil Ex Ulster and Ireland rugby player. Rugby Pundit

Best wishes to the Campbell team for their 40th Schools’ Cup Final. All Campbellians, past and present, are already immensely proud of your achievements this year. The team has shown class and true form. You’re now back on the big stage – enjoy every moment and good luck! Marc Mallett // Past pupil UTV Presenter

GOOD LUCK FROM THE HEAD BOYS

MEET THE SUPPORT

CAMPBELL COLLEGE HEAD BOY: BEN TAYLOR

RBAI HEAD BOY: SIMON WOODS

I think we are particularly fortunate to be at Inst! Another year and another Schools’ Cup Final! To the senior boys in the squad this isn’t new territory, after ending the disappointment of eight generations of Inst boys, to see the Cup won last year. The new players on the team have shown their talent and abilities by lifting the Medallion Shield in their year. Under the leadership of captain Conor Field and vice-captain Charlie Fryers, and under the watchful eyes of coaches Mr Soper and Mr Hedley, the 1st XV has performed at a consistent high standard throughout the year, culminating in two successive wins at Osborne Park, over Coleraine Grammar School and Sullivan Upper School. Then came the semi-final at Kingspan Stadium and a tremendous, nail biting victory over Ballymena Academy. The Schools’ Cup is a highlight of any rugby players’ year and will be remembered by the 23 players in this squad for years to come. This year is a special one, being an all Belfast final. There has always been a healthy rivalry and respect between our two schools, so let’s hope for an exciting final! Our team knows what to expect. The atmosphere in school has been tremendous in the run up to St. Patrick’s Day. The whole school is behind you and on its behalf I wish you, players and coaches, the best of luck. This is where a season of hard work and determination come together. Let’s bring home the Cup!

It is an honour to represent the College in any way we can throughout our time at the school and this is something boys strive to do whatever their chosen field. When it comes to the rugby pitch we are represented week in, week out by our various teams and in particular our outstanding 1st XV, whom we are here to support today. They have taken inspiration from the community around them and focused it into delivering performances worthy of a place in the Ulster Schools’ Cup final. I myself starred alongside our captain, James Boyle, many years ago on the U12 D rugby team but was unfortunately unable to develop my skills to the same extent as he has! So, today I find myself standing alongside Campbellians young and old, cheering on the College and our team whom we all take an immense pride in. All that is left to say is, good luck boys - win it for the College, for yourselves and secure a place in the history books.

TODAY’S CAPTAINS

CONOR FIELD RBAI

JAMES BOYLE CAMPBELL COLLEGE

I am currently studying P.E, Geography and Business Studies at A2 level and my plan is to go Loughry College to study Food and Business Management next year. After this game and the end of the school year my sights will be set on being involved with the Ulster U20 squad this summer. Over the years, I have represented Inst in athletics and was an Ulster champion in the 100m, long jump and 4x100m relay events, holding Irish silver and bronze medals. My love for rugby all started in P2 at Lisburn RFC and I was awarded RBAI’s John Marshall Trophy for Medallion Player of the Year. Being involved in RBAI’s 1st XV over the past three years and also representing Ulster at U17, U18 Schools and U19 has been an honour. I would like to say thank you to Mr Soper for all of his hard work – he is a great coach and a bit of a genius when it comes to rugby. I would also like to recognise Lewis McNamara, who has been really supportive in helping me as captain. Not many people get that luxury, he was a great captain and he managed to pick me up when we got beat by Campbell and Wallace. He’s certainly shown me the ropes this year. There will be nerves today of course. It’s my first Schools’ Cup final as I was injured this time last year. There are boys in the team who have been there and bought the t-shirt, so hopefully their experience will help today. It was a bittersweet experience for me last year, watching from the side-lines with Lewis picking up the trophy. I promised myself at that moment that I would be there this year. Captaining this squad of boys is definitely the highlight of my rugby career to date. I am honoured to lead out my teammates in this year’s final at Kingspan Stadium and only hope we can do the double.

Rugby was never my first love, but after piling on the pounds in the latter stages of primary school I thought I’d take up a new sport that accepted all shapes and sizes! It was only when I joined Campbell that rugby union became my new passion, more than just a hobby. Although I was a regular on the C and D team it didn’t really matter to me as I enjoyed the sense of belonging and pride in school sport. I owe a lot to Campbell, it is Campbell that has guided me through the formative years of my life and has made me into the young man I am today. Campbell is so much more than just a school, the ethos is embedded at the very core of each pupil that passes through it’s doors. Being part of the rugby club has provided me with the most amazing opportunities; one particular highlight was travelling to South Africa in 2014. Being asked to captain the club is a huge honour, the black jersey has captured the essence and hopes of our school for over 100 years. I am a committed Christian and seek to honour God on and off the rugby pitch and this has influenced how I choose to lead this group of talented players. The core of this team has journeyed through school rugby together from U12 to 1st XV level, picking up some players along the way. The hard fought battles we have gone through as a group are the foundations to the bonds that have been made that will stand the test of time. We will look back on St. Patrick’s Day 2016 fondly.

Throughout all of this time he has brought a wealth of experience and knowledge to the many and various roles undertaken. His coaching career alone includes Ulster Schools’, Ulster U20s, Irish Schools’, Belfast Harlequins and Queen’s University. At Age Grade level Johnny played for Ulster Schools’, Irish Schools’ and Ulster U21. This experience, coupled with a club career which included Ballymena, Instonians, Portadown and CIYMS, has helped him develop a coaching style which takes into consideration the varying talents of any group with which he is involved. While at Campbell, Johnny coached the Medallion XV, sharing the Sheild in 2009-2010, before winning the competition outright in 2012-2013. This is his debut season with Campbell’s 1st XV.

The lead was short-lived, however, as McIlveen notched a penalty of his own to bring the score to 10-8 in RBAI’s favour. That score seemed to galvanise the Belfast boys considerably and tighthead prop Reece Anderson capitalised on good work by his fellow forwards to crash over from close range. McIlveen again converted to extend the lead to 17-8. RBAI scored their third try of the game at the death, with fullback Simon Jackson, who threatened with ball in hand all afternoon, finally getting on the scoresheet. His balanced running evaded several tackles on his way to touching down in the left hand corner. McIlveen’s conversion - the last kick of the game - dropped just short. The referee’s final whistle sounded to the great delight of Gavin Monteith and his players, as well as the large RBAI support in attendance.

The final was a repeat of last season’s showpiece, which RBAI won 13-5. It was another close affair, and the final scoreline somewhat flattered RBAI, who were second best for large periods of the game. The opening quarter was particularly even, with neither team able to penetrate the defence. RBAI outside centre Robin McIlveen eventually broke the deadlock in the 18th minute when he weaved through the Wallace defence to dot down to the left of the uprights. The same player converted for a 7-0 lead. The Lisburn school responded immediately with a try from Dillon Jones. The left wing crossed after a sweeping backline move, which followed a series of close drives by the forwards. Captain Conor Rankin was unable to add the extras. There were no further scores in the first half as both defences scrambled effectively. The score at half time - Wallace HS 5 RBAI 7. Wallace HS completely dominated the early stages of the second half and made a number of line

STUART GAFFIKIN

How do you prepare for a game like this? Just the same as for any other game save for a few extra considerations. Which ref do you most admire? The referee I most admire is Alain Rolland, who retired at the end of the 2014 season after refereeing at three Rugby World Cups and refereeing the final in 2007. I had the pleasure of being his Assistant Referee in the Heineken Cup on a number of occasions. Favourite match you have officiated? I refereed a Rugby Europe match between Georgia and Spain in Tbilisi in 2014. It was a real experience travelling to a new country with its own particular culture, not to mention refereeing a host of players who were playing their rugby in the French Top 14 - a definite challenge. Best ground you have experienced? I refereed the final of the Rugby Europe U18 International tournament between France and Georgia at the Stade Ernest-Wallon in Toulouse in One of my first appointments in the Heineken Cup was to be an Assistant Referee with Alain Rolland for a match between Montpellier and Toulon. Montpellier is a great venue and a beautiful city but the match was a late night kick off and both teams were loaded with huge stars of world rugby. What advice would you give to someone interested in refereeing? I would really encourage anyone to take up the whistle. It is such a great way to be or remain involved in rugby and it is a real challenge to keep 30 guys in line. I’ve met so many great people through rugby on and off the pitch and I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in some great matches. Added to that, I’ve had the opportunity to travel round Ulster, Ireland and Europe with other referees, many of whom are now great friends. For more information on becoming a referee, please email david.wilkinson@irfu.ie front of a packed house of 19,500. Most memorable experience?

How did you get into refereeing? I always enjoyed playing rugby and played at school but an injury when I was 16 curtailed what would have been a distinctly average career. I wanted to be involved in rugby in some form and refereeing appealed to me because you had an active role on the pitch, in the thick of the action. So I attended a New Recruits Course 11 years ago with Referee Development Officer, David Wilkinson. The course lasted one day and the following week I was on the pitch refereeing my first match, a cracker between Civil Service IV and Lurgan III at Stormont! What key skills are required to be a good referee? For me the most important skills are communication with players, coolness under pressure, fitness, knowledge of the law and the ability to apply the law fairly to ensure that a fair contest can take place. If a referee can develop and show these skills then you normally get a good rugby match that people want to watch. Are you looking forward to being the man in the middle at the most anticipated domestic game of the season? Of course, the School’s Cup final is a hugely important game, for players, coaches, parents, the rugby public at large and for referees. Running out at Kingspan Stadium on St. Patrick’s Day will be a great honour. What challenges do you face refereeing such a hyped up game? For me it’s important to remember that this is ‘just’ another game. If you take away the thousands of supporters, the stadium, the history, the occasion and the TV cameras this could be any other school game anywhere in the Province. There are still two teams and thirty players trying to win a game of rugby and I’m just trying to facilitate that! What do you think of the standard of rugby these two teams have produced this season to get to the final? Honestly, I haven’t seen either team play but knowing the standard of the competition, any team that reaches the final has certainly earned it. No doubt both teams will be hoping to put on a show for their school and supporters.
