Jon Rodgers became the first-ever Wallace captain to lift the famous trophy in front of thousands at the home of Ulster Rugby, including pupils past and present who were all in Belfast to savour the occasion. Front-row stars Rio McDonagh (two) and James Gould accounted for three of their four tries as centre Luke Dillon also crossed the line. Head coach Derek Suffern hopes this success, which came after five previous final defeats, can help inspire the next generation to follow in the current squad’s footsteps. "We're delighted,” said Suffern. “A lot of hard work has gone into it over the years, even before these guys’ time, but credit to the group. "They went after their own journey, have had a great season and it has been finished off with a top performance against a very good Armagh side. "The boys are thrilled and you can see it in their celebrations afterwards. "From the general public and people who have been involved with the school previously, they can say it's a monkey off the back. "For this group I don't think it played into their thought process. "Hopefully future generations and guys in the school now know it can be done and take confidence in that moving forward. "I think the people watching and the younger players that see it can now see that it can be done and gives them confidence that the process is right and the people involved in the school game are doing the right thing. "We want to keep going at it and chasing the stuff we're delivering on because it has been proven that we're doing the right thing. "We know we have a strong forward pack and it's the balance of getting a gameplan that goes out to win games as supposed to entertain people. “I thought we played some good rugby, played with expanse at times...it was a huge team performance.” It was a sweet moment for Rodgers as he went one better than his father Michael, who had captained Wallace in their first-ever Schools’ Cup final in 1989 when they lost to Methody. “It is a great feeling, the reality exceeded the expectation and it is the best feeling in the world,” he said. “I have been dreaming about it for a couple of years and it is the best feeling in the world. It is just incredible and all the work we put in that has led to this moment. “My Dad had been on my back for a couple of years about getting to this stage as he did it himself. I have got one further than him now and actually won it, so there is going to be a great celebration in our house.”
