Portugal 2016

16th October 2018

On Sunday 16th October, Wellington’s 1st XV left Belfast for what would be the beginning of the 2016 edition of the famous Sports Tour. The bus journey to Dublin was all but quiet as Upper 6th players recounted stories from the same trip two years prior. The excited atmosphere persisted throughout the plane to Faro Airport, although things did get heated around an hour in as groups of players began to discuss ‘how many people would be required to defeat a gorilla in bare fist combat’.

Barcelona 2009

28th August 2012

On the Wednesday we arrived at Barcelona airport and we quickly escorted to our coach which dropped us off at our hotel. We were barely settled in and most of us weren’t even unpacked when we grabbed our shorts and t-shirts and headed for our first training session. During the session the rugby boys put on an exhibition of their skills in front of the girls hockey squad and some Spanish onlookers as we prepared ourselves for our first match.
