Tries Hard – The Story of the Ulster Schools’ Cup When it comes to rugby and school rugby in particular only one man can really tell the story of the Schools’ Cup: David Wells. The peerless Methodist College coach helped steer the school to their record-breaking 31st win this year! But it’s not just about Methody – over 20 schools take part in the competition every year with the finalists battling it out in a nail-biting finale on St Patrick’s Day. The competition started in the 1870s and has been a popular fixture in Ulster school calendars ever since. This is the story of the only competitive rugby league played by the senior school teams in Northern Ireland. Photographs throughout.
