On Wednesday 21st March an Ulster Rugby Road Show in conjunction with the Belfast Telegraph and the Bank of Ireland visited Rainey ES. Rainey had the honour of being visited by three of Ulster Rugby’s highest profile players – Ruan Pienaar, Ian Humphries and Jared Payne and they spent some time out of their busy schedule with all the rugby players from Rainey. They took part in a question and answer session and were asking a large variety of questions, ranging from their playing training and life outside rugby. They then signed many autographs and posed for a number of photographs. The players were very interesting and the players really enjoyed the opportunity to meet ‘face to face’ players that they normally only see on TV. The players also ran a quiz and gave a number of spot prizes to the winners. The Bank of Ireland and the Belfast Telegraph also spoke to the boys in relation to a joint project that is being run. The boys collect tokens from the Bank of Ireland and the Belfast Telegraph which can be exchanged for rugby equipment.
