    Very good achievement. Cant recall it being done before. There has been a few occasions where clubs have won both u16/18 and 17/19 provincial titles in the one season but I don't think any club has been on both All Ireland finals in the one season.

    'Park did 3 years ago but the 19's final wasn't played.

    Waterpark won 19s provincial title but no all Ireland was played that season and never had been planned to be played that season

    I don't think Munster will go back to 18s/20s though it is being looked at.

    Nenagh won east u13 cup beating Kilfeacle in final this moning 13-12

    Why do you hope it changes back?
    Try get more clubs fielding at older age groups I imagine. Quite a few clubs have not fielded or struggled a lot at 19s since the change.
    On to results:
    Nenagh won East Munster u13 cup beating league champs Kilfeacle in Kilfeacle today 13-12.
    Midleton defeated Dolphin 33-17 in South Munster under 19 development cup with Kinsale winning the under 19 South Munster phase 2 league after a 16-10 win against Mallow while Kinsale also won the under 15 South Munster development cup after a 7-5 win against Sundays Well.

    it would benefit my club hugely as we do struggle to field 19s and the players that are overaged for 19s wouldnt be near senior standard and our j2 setups a joke

    Any opinion on who'll win?
    IMO Navan are favourites for 19s and don't know about 17s poss Navan again.

    A lot of squad won 17s all Ireland last year. They've been very impressive this year(not saying Bandon have not). Just put them slight favourites if I had to pick a winner

    ye have 3 adult rugby teams. they can play j1 in senior 2nds league or j2 and j2 set up isn't too bad.
    a change to 18s/20s will not happen unless schools also change and they will not as they lose out on a year of players

    i was at last years 17/19 finals,navan at u17 were very good but they relied a lot on fergal cleary who is not with them this year,the bandon/shannon munster final last year was tougher for shannon than malone in the all/ireland...will be very close final i think

    5 or maybe more lads from 'Park made the Youths squad. some very powerful forwards, would imagine them to have a few starters in the pack and Maybe the outhalf

    I saw that Navan side once and to say they relied on fergal cleary a lot is not that true and while of course they'll miss him a lot I just think they'll edge bandon in the end and from talking to some people who went to u19 all Ireland last year(I saw the Munster final) I wouldn't say at all that the Munster final was tougher for Shannon Saints than the All Ireland final.

    I was talking to a few of the lads and I'm pretty sure that's the final squad

    It is and it isn't. Normally 5 or 6 players are added to the squad for 1 reason or another like players move to A schools, lose form whatever. That's what seems to happen every year.

    sligo have beaten all very convincingly in connacht this year and that team have been dominant through the various years

    Jaysus, THAT is VERY selective and while Sligo did indeed deserve the win in Galway against Corinthians, I thought Corinthians didn't do themselves any favours and didn't play to their ability at all that day. Secondly, I'd check back over the stats if I was you as I'd say BOTH sides were dominant "through the various years" NOT JUST SLIGO!!! In fact I'd say the stats would come down in Corinthians favour!

    Dave couldn't you have quoted who made the post that you quoted instead of making me look through the thread to see who made the post :P
    Just looked through this seasons results and whoever said that was quite wrong both Sligo and Corinthians were clearly the 2 strongest at 17s this season looking on results and in previous seasons were strongest

    Dont think so and hope not as if age groups are different in each province it totally messes up all ireland series and a change from the current system leads to more work for coaches to find players capable of playing representative rugby at provincial and national level

    Yup, the backrow, the 9 and 10 and the two props, although I think one of them will be playing hooker, presumably because of the Clon prop. Presume Clon have a fair few as well?

    Only the first half of the first match, but surely if they seem to be an equal or better team you'd imagine they'd have more. Can't say any of those 'Park lads aren't deserving of their place though. There was a few on the initial squad who I was sceptical about but those lads all deserve it. I'm sure more of yere lads would be involved
