The Galgorm Road boys were drawn away to the Belfast school in Monday’s draw at Ravenhill.

The tie will be played on Saturday, January 11.

Speaking at the launch, Ivan McMinn, of sponsors Danske Bank, commented: “This is now the ninth year of Danske Bank’s sponsorship of this historic competition. A lot has changed during that time, such as the major redevelopment of Ravenhill and the rebrand of Northern Bank to Danske Bank.

“But supporting the Schools’ Cup has always been, and continues to be, a central part of Danske Bank’s community involvement and support for youth sport in Northern Ireland.

“History has shown that the Danske Bank Ulster Schools’ Cup is a truly great platform for young rugby talent to shine and I have no doubt that this new season will be no exception.”

The draw was attended by former Belfast Royal Academy pupil Stuart Olding, one of 29 current Ulster Rugby players to have played in the DanskeBank Schools’ Cup.
