Having the services of a player who has run out for Ulster, Ireland and the British and Irish Lions was not lost on the large group of boys, who greatly enjoyed the experience. Hopefully they will be able to put into practice some of the skills they picked up, when their competitive fixtures start later in February.

Bangor Rugby Club greatly appreciates the time and effort Stephen was able to spend with its young players, and wishes him every success as he continues to work towards a return to the top flight of competitive rugby.
