So far it’s been a tough season with
many ups and downs, but finally
we’ve reached the all important
Schools’ Cup. Our young side, with
six year 12s in Saturdays starting
XV, will have gained confidence
from hard fought wins against BRA
and most recently against a strong St
Michaels side in Dublin, both having
came from behind at half-time.
Looking ahead to Saturday, we face
a huge challenge, but a challenge we
can overcome if we all perform to our
potential and believe in ourselves on
the day. Last year Dalriada narrowly
defeated us in their own back yard in
the Subsidiary Shield semi-final. This
year with home advantage, we feel
we owe them one. I have no doubt
we are capable of achieving a rever-
sal of the previous result. I know all
the boys will be 100% up for it come
kick off on Saturday and we will
leave absolutely nothing on the field.
I look forward to seeing our support
on the touch line and would like to
thank the continued support through
out the season and long may it
continue.

THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON
As generic as it sounds
the season has had
some highs but quite a
lot of lows. We have
had some great results,
being 20 points down
against Belfast Royal
Academy in the first 5
minutes and coming
back to win, beating
St. Michaels on tour,
to name but a few.
We have lacked
consistency though,
putting in weak perfor-
mances against Belfast
High and CCB. Over
the past month it has
changed.
The tour
was great
and gave us
conf idence
going into
the new
year.
Training has improved
greatly through more
people attending and
taking it more serious-
ly. This makes it far
more intense and
beneficial.
1. How excited are the
team ahead of the new
Schools’ Cup campaign?
WL: “The team are
really excited, training
has been to a very high
standard this week and
we are can't wait until
kick off.”
2. Tell us about the
tour, it sounded like you
had quite a time.
WL: “The tour was
really beneficial to the
squad. It brought us
tighter together and
winning against St
Michael's was a turning
point in our season, we
really had to stick together
on the pitch.”
3. What have you
learnt from the game
against Dalriada last
year that you can put
into practice today?
WL: “We've done our
homework on them and
are confident our game
plan will get us the
result.”
4. How do you plan to
continue your rugby
career post-school?
WL: “Who knows? I
will continue playing at
uni.”
PLAYER PROFILE
FIVE MINUTES WITH… WILL LOGAN
Jonny Baxter had a trou-
bled 2013/2014 season,
most of which was spent
on the sidelines through a
recurring knee injury
picked up in only the sec-
ond game of the season.
He recovered to feature as
a substitute in last year’s
Schools’ Cup, but it was
too little too late to make
an impact.
One year later, evidence of
Jonny’s knee injury is
only visible through the
protective strapping which
he wears, and the winger
has featured in the majori-
ty of games, scoring a total
of 7 tries. Baxter has been
a big threat to other teams
with an ability to power
through gaps in opposing
defences with speed and
precision. The indiscipline
and rough edges he may
have showed in previous
seasons have been replaced
with a rounded and pol-
ished façade and he is now
a main feature of any
BGS win.
