Hide AdBen 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.
