\nDanske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Round Up Saturday 9th December 2017
\nThere was one Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 2ndxv Cup Round 2 game played midweek, as well as two 1stxv friendly midweek matches played in the lead up to two Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Cup Round 1 games, eight Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Medallion Shield Round 2 games and quite a few 1stxv friendly games played on Saturday 9th December.
\nHowever, the inclement weather conditions caused a lot of the scheduled Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Cup Round 1 and Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Medallion Shield Round 2 games to be postponed.
\nThe weather conditions caused all of the scheduled 1stxv friendly games to be cancelled as well.
\nIn the Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 2ndxv Cup Round 2 game Regent House School 2ndxv hosted Methodist College, Belfast 2ndxv in a game the Methodist College, Belfast team won by 65-0.
\nIn a friendly game played midweek Sullivan Upper School defeated Down High School by 22-5. Steven Moore, Patrick Casement and Thomas Leitch scored tries for the Sullivan Upper team with Conor McKee adding two conversions as well as one penalty.
\nThe Down High School points came through an unconverted try from Ronan Patterson.
\nColeraine Grammar School hosted their near neighbours from Dalriada School in a game the Dalriada School team won by 27-7. Dalriada School scored four tries through Curtis Pollock, Luke Pollock, Matthew Kennedy and Paddy Steele. Matthew Kennedy added one conversion, as well as a penalty, with James McCormick successfully kicking one conversion.
\nAndrew White scored the Coleraine Grammar School try which was converted by Pierce Crowe.
\nOn Saturday 9th December the Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Cup 2017\/18 competition should have got underway when Wellington College, Belfast was scheduled to have hosted Belfast High School and Carrickfergus Grammar School was scheduled to have hosted Strabane Academy. Unfortunately both these games were postponed due to the prevailing weather conditions
\nAs well as the two Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Cup Round 1 games that should have been played on Saturday 9th December there were eight Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Medallion Shield Round 2 games scheduled to have been played. Unfortunately all these games fell victim to the prevailing weather conditions as well.
\nThese postponed Danske Bank Ulster Schools\u2019 Cup and Medallion Shield games will be played as soon as the weather conditions allow games to take place.
\nThere was also a good list of 1stxv friendly games which should have been played on Saturday 9th December. Regrettably all these games were cancelled.
\nIrish Rugby Football Union Charitable Trust Week 2nd – 9th December 2017
\nThe Irish Rugby Football Union Charitable Trust was formed in 1978 to assist severely injured rugby players in their everyday lives, and help to restore their confidence and independence.
\nAll clubs and schools are encouraged to raise funds for the Trust by working on fund raising ventures during the week December 2nd-December 9th 2017. Schools in Ulster have supported this most worthwhile of causes most generously over a period of many years. It is hoped this support will continue this year and that even more money can be raised.
\nOne of the targets for the Charitable Trust Committee is that all schools and clubs sign up to a direct debit as a \u201cFriend\u201d of the IRFU Charitable Trust.
