I saw 20 minutes of the first game of the season up in Ballymena and they were obviously the bigger/ better side so I was surprised MCB got a draw first time around. Well done Ballymena ... A cup double looming for Ballymena this year? It would be great to see it.

Well going on form the top two in the 2XV would be BMA and RBAI

3rd XV cup RBAI look strong with thier 3,4 and 5 XV's still in

Medallion should be between MCB and RBAI, but WHS have caused the odd upset this year

1XV seems too close to call.


Personally Id like to see a league format a bit like the McCullough cup in the cricket.

Form is funny thing in my experience Blow in. Coleraine have taken the scalps of full strength CCB and MCB sides this year and cannot be taken lightly. WHS are a very good side as well but MCB took a win off them last week and as you say at Medallion level WHS beat MCB last week so form favourites have not been going to script thus far this year, I would still stick my neck out and say Ballymena will lift the schools cup as they are the best 'team' I have watched this year, RBAI have the best back division but they are still a bit porous in defence. CCB will run them both close and MCB? Losing quarter finalists depending on the draw. Would like to see Coleraine knocking on the door as they have turned around their fortunes in the past couple of seasons.

The draw for Round 3 of the Medallion Shield took place last night:

Royal School Armagh v Down High School
Portora Royal School v Banbridge Academy
Portadown College v Dalriada School
Ballymena Academy v Cambridge House/Friends' School, Lisburn
Omagh Academy v Dromore High School/Grosvenor Grammar School
Larne Grammar School v Limavady Grammar School
Rainey Endowed School v Regent House School
Bangor Grammar School v Royal School, Dungannon

Going to say wins for;

Dalriada
Friends
OMA
