One of the great events in the Northern Ireland/United Kingdom sporting calendar goes ahead tomorrow on the feast day of St Patrick of Wales. Royal Belfast Academical Institution face Wallace High School at Ravenhill in the Ulster Schools Senior Cup Final. Iâm looking forward to it immensely.
I think in the midst of the national euphoria surrounding the brave and passionate performance from our rugby and cricketing heroes, we overlooked an outstanding performance from our womenâs hockey team.
Hockey superpowers, Canada were put to the sword in Belfield by a spirited and courageous performance from our girls. Aine Connery & Kate Dillon with a goal apiece. Well done girls.
Another proud weekend for our countryâs sporting fans, displaying extreme pride in our representational sides, whether in victory or courageous defeat.

At best Patrick could be described as a Briton. But he wasnât âBritishâ as you might call it today, as the political entity that is the modern state of Britain did not exist in the 5th century AD. It was a lose federation of Celtic tribes and Romans. The Anges, Saxons, Jutes, Vikings and Normans had not yet set foot in Britain.
