PEGASUS will hope to make up for the disappointment of losing their Ulster Senior League title to Randalstown this season when they take part in the European Cup Winners' Cup in Utrecht at the weekend.

The Belfast club, playing in Pool A of the competition's first division, have been drawn against Ipswich, Amiens (France) and Russian team Tekstilschik Vyiazniki and will hope at least to equal last year's fifth place finish in Rotterdam.

Ursuline Convent Thurles, winners of last year's All Ireland Schools' finals, will also be in Holland over the Easter weekend where they will compete in the European Youth Festival in The Hague. Hutchesons' Grammar School (Scotland), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic), hosts HDM, Bradford and Orange Zwart (Holland) will provide the Tipperary school with their opposition over the three days.
