The annual 1st XVIII Football Match is played between St Michael’s Grammar School and Westbourne Grammar School. In 2013, the annual fixture was named in honour of Mr Geoffrey Ryan, former Deputy Headmaster and Head of Senior School at St Michael’s Grammar School (1983–1989), and former Principal of Westbourne Grammar School (1990–2010). The players are presented with their guernseys in a pre-match function, and then play in front of a crowd of their family, friends, fellow students and special guests.

In 2021, the Girls 1st XVIII joined the Boys side in playing for the Geoffrey Ryan Cup for the very first time.
