“Let’s make it count and put Dalriada rugby on the map. I cannot wait to be there cheering you on!”
Rower Aaron Christie added: “Just before kick off during every game Bangor sing their school song in a huddle. I’m expecting a very loud rendition of ‘O Dalriadan land’ from the sideline to drown them out.”
Parking for supporters will be available in the Route Complex adjacent to the school. The First XV are hoping that everyone will come out as they aim for the semi final, kick-off is 10.30am.
