Rugby
Rugby is a major part of school life at R.S.D
from Form One to Upper Sixth. In First Form you compete for the
Arnold Shield which is always against Rainey Endowed towards the
end of the season. Some friendly matches are also arranged
throughout the year to provide a bit of competition.
In Second Form rugby more commitment is
needed for training after schools two days a week and matches
that are arranged every Saturday both home and away. A trip to
Coleraine Inst to take part in their annual tournament is always
the highlight of the year.
In third form the same format follows as in
second form but some of the players may have to chance to be
called up to play for the Medallion XV during their cup
campaign.
In Fourth Form it will be the last year you
play with your own age group as part of the Medallion XV. Once
again matches are scheduled for every Saturday but also during
the Christmas holidays in order to prepare the Medallion Shield
campaign which starts in the middle of January. A 7’s team is
also selected after the cup campaigns are over which compete in
a competition at Omagh Academy.
From Fifth Form to Upper Sixth you play
together, training three times a week with a match on Saturdays.
This may come as a shock to the new fifth formers but you get
used to it and isn’t so bad when you’re the ones in Upper Sixth
(the old boys).1st XV, 2nd XV and 3rd XV Schools Cups begin
straight after the Christmas Break. A 7’s team is also put
together after the cup campaigns in which they compete in the
Ulster 7’s competition which is held in Campbell College on an
annual basis.
