Lisburn school is well represented in 
Ulster Rugby underage squads

A large number of Wallace rugby players have been busy with Ulster underage squads over the summer months.

Year 11 pupils Gary Dillon, Ben Parker and Nicholas Woods have been training with the under 16 Development squad, whilst Ben Finlay, Adam McCallum, Jonathan Stewart, Patrick Ferguson and Philip Hylands played for the Ulster under 17 squad who defeated Lancashire Schools’ recently.

Ryan Wilson was ruled out of this game because of injury but has also been fully involved with training over the summer months.

Ben Pentland, Jacob Stockdale and Max Trouton have been involved in the intense under 18 programme and they all impressed in the recent 27 - 8 victory over the Sale Sharks Academy side, whilst Ben and Jacob were both key players in the 19 - 3 victory over Connacht in the first interpro game at Ravenhill last Saturday.

Principal, Mrs Deborah O’Hare, is understandably delighted with the success of these pupils.

She commented: “I would just like to add my congratulations to all the pupils who have been picked in these elite squads and who have progressed to their current level through their considerable talent and excellent attitude.
