Memorial Cup Winners

20th Mar 2019
Congratulations to the U13 rugby team who won the Memorial Cup at Methodist College for the first time in the school’s history.

The team beat RBAI 7-0, Coleraine Grammar School 12-0 and Killicomaine Junior High School 12-0 to win their group.  In the semi-final, they recovered from conceding an early try to draw 7-7 with Terenure College, Dublin.  When extra time could not separate the sides, the Academy won narrowly on penalty kicks.  Despite the disadvantage of having played a considerably longer semi-final the boys maintained their impressive teamwork and endeavour in the final beating the hosts, Methody, 7-5.  This morning Reece Williamson, the captain of the side presented the cup to the school.
