Wallace ready for semi final

Wallace, who went out at the quarter final stage to Methody last year, say this is a “great opportunity” to reach the final.

Rugby Coach Neil Hinds said: “We’re looking forward to it. It is a great opportunity and a great challenge, the whole school is excited, there’s a great buzz about.”

Wallace have suffered injuries throughout the season, however, Coach Hinds says his side are now “gaining momentum”.

“We are very close to a full squad for Tuesday.”

Whilst many of the boys may not have been at this stage before, they do boast experience with several, such as Ben Pentland and Max Troughton, representing Ulster Schools and Jacob Stockdale representing Irish Schools.

Mr Hinds continued: “Methody are firm favourites, but we are viewing this as an opportunity.”

Captain Callum Irvine said his team want to reach the final. “We’re feeling positive, we’re all looking forward to it. The semi final is a great stage to be at, but we want to get further. 100% we want to reach the final.”
