Great 22-10 it was 3-0 at half time then setanta ireland decided to cut to an empty stadium (Drogheda utd and cliftonville) I mean ffs there was more people in attendance at the schools rugby than most league of ireland matches. So all the tries and penalities etc happened in the 2nd half. Cheers setanta.

Id say no. 6 Monkstown is still raging over that missed try. Fair play to number 14 for never giving up and smashing him just before the line. Just lol

Glad to see you make an appearance now after CBC were beaten, you were absent following the win over Michaels. Mate, they weren't thrashed, Marys deserved it no doubt in that second half. But jesus a try in the last play and another try from CBC which wasn't given. Way to gloss the scorline. Ye I'd agree they were overly hyped up, but they were a good team who had a bad day. I'll support Marys now cause they've shown throughout this tournament real rugby against different sides. If you want to go on trolling about schools rugby you need to get a life mate.

I must have been watched a different game to you.How were CBC trashed they played terrible and deserved to lose but to say Mary's trashed them is ridiculous.Marys were camped in CBC's 22 for almost the entire second half and just could not score until the end.If Grannell had have taken his chance i think there might have been a different outcome today. I know it was windy today but Marys kicker wasn't the best at all. It should be a comfortable win for Belvo now.

if grannell had scored that try, cbc would have defo won,oh well thats they way it goes,he will know to pass next time lol

also the referee should be reported,marys constantly cheating and he just kept his cards in his pocket.As for the linesman,i was sitting directly beside him while marys were camped in cbc's half in the 2nd half and the amount of things he didnt spot,warrants him and the ref to never be involved again.
People can say its only a senior match but its not fair to all of the teams involved who put in so much work,to be assigned joke referees and linesmen

Marys deserved their win but not that scoreline

Baggsys

CBC couldn't get out of there half in the 2nd half but at least they did have the ball for most of it. In the 1st half cbc had all the ball in the marys half and couldn't get over. personaly i think CBC lost it. marys got the breaks and cbc didn't. got to hand it to marys pack, they were class.

and the ref was shi_t, for both teams. didn't have the balls to call mary's kicker up on the time he was taking.

That is one of the best tackles I have ever seen! The winger came from no where!

Size=everything

Trashed in the sense that marys dominated the lineouts and stole a lot of CBCs throws, dominated the scrums, destroyed them in mauling, rucking, constantly turned the ball over.

Furthermore from 10minutes into the second half marys never looked like losing, it was a very comfortable win CBC were unable to produce anything.

Marys have been written off from the start I mean they were 4-1 to win the cup going into this game and there was only 3 teams left and were 8-1 going into the quarters, in the papers every pundit wrote them off against CBC even now people here are saying it will be a comfortable win for belvo heed my words that marys team is very good and should win the cup.

anyways CBC or Marys in the final and I am happy as long as belvo dont win

It was an incredible tackle I have to say, any international winger would have struggled to make it

what say what?

Listen mate i don't want to start a slagging match but i think your emotions have gotten the better of your memories of the game.

Yes IF Grannell had have dotted down the result MIGHT have been different,
but HE DID'NT, now i know the guy and he's as sound as a pound, but why the hell did he slow down coming to the line?

The facts are whether you like them or not that CBC weren't bottlers or played badly, it's just that Marys were better.

Just like they beat them 12-8 on jan 5th in Kennilworth, they beat them again

I would like to take this opportunity to thank CBC for playing good honest entertaining rugby, they may have ended up on the wrong end of the result, but they contributed to one of the most entertaining cups in a long long time.

None of those players should be ashamed of their performances, they were a credit to themselves and all their supporters.

Now to address your referee complaints - yes he wasn't the greatest, but without a ref we wouldn't have a match at all!

As for saying that Marys were cheating, come on man get a grip, if all the indescrections i counted (on both sides) were blown up for, there would have been very little play.

If you want a list i will provide it .

Lets just say that it was a good game of rugby and thank God that the Clongowes negative style has dissappeared for another year

didnt see the 2nd hlaf so only speaking from what i heard, cbc cuda been up 2 tries wit grannels and the knock down by crotty, did they bottle in 2nd half or what? (by the way just asking mont , not riipin it, iactually was up for cbc) want marys to win it now not those belvo

Het-Field

Im a neutral, but I dearly hope that St Mary's roll back the years to 2002, and take it off Belvo Again.

That was a great Great Great Great Great day for Mary's. As was 1994 when Denis Hickie crashed the Clongowes Line in the final 8 minities.

Mary's Mary's Mary's !

what are you crapping on about i know grannel aswell,good mates with his brother,wasnt really his fault as 9/10 times anyone would score.I also said marys deserved it.you should probably read my post again

Marys continously killed the ball,comming in from the side.I counted about 3 incidents where yellows should have issued.
im not saying had they been penalised cbc would have won,im simply saying the ref and linesman were ****,
I would also question as to whether Grannels try wasnt a try,I think it was but no tmo:)( i was right at the line)
Im also dissapointed for the team,they put in so much work and got so far,the pressure on them was immence as we rarely produce cup contending teams

I saw belvo on the tv and they looked very impressive,will be a good match

Nah they didn't bottle and they weren't thrashed. Yes their lineout fell to pieces but they lost 4 or 5 of their normal front 8 by the end(including prop at the start to a stupid injury apparently). Marys deserved it no question...but to CBC bottled it or were thrashed is going ott. BTW I would agree with some of what dc69 says about the refs calls. 11 should have been binned for that intentional knock on for that cert try and they were lingering offside a lot of the time in the 1st half. Thats the refs job though. Second half Marys were class, dictated the game and the knock on in the 1st half gave them huge belief. At least that CBC team got people talking about CBC again like in the 80s. Hope Marys beat Belvo, they deserve it.


EDIT: Oh yeah don't put too much blame on grannell. He was completely blindsighted by an incredible run by the Marys wing. He carried an injury for the rest of the game on his chest if you noticed.

Possibly the most neutral forum post of all time that one.:)

Great win against the Odds - good to see the team competing so well in recent years unlike my memories of so many 1st round exits when I was there

When are Setanta reshowing it as I have not seen it yet.

I think CBC's downfall was their arrogance. the hype of "cup favourites" got to their heads, they thought the match was going to be a stroll in the park. This was typified by the No.15 and No.6 at the very start of the match. The two main examples were the fullbacks decision to take a drop goal for the first penalty of the match and the blindsides failure to look around before he slowed down.
Mary's did not have the same quality man for man in that match but it was clear to see their tactics were spot on and they had been drilled to the ground by their coaches which instilled discipline and maturity. Unlike their opponents. CBC lacked discipline, maturity and tactics.

themont85

I have to disagree with you there. No 15 kicked drop goals because of the wind and its a lot easier than having somone holding the ball-especially since they were all in front of the posts. And the knock on from 6-he was blindsighted completely by an incredible play by the marys wing. Dunno bout indiscipline from CBC tbh, can't remember them giving to many penos away. In fact I reckon Marys gave far more away-lying all over the ball in rucks, offside and the intentional knock on from the wing. Marys were just better tactically 2nd half. People better not hype them up to much now-the two most impressive teams CWC and CBC up until the semis are out. Belvo seem to have a knack of getting out the result.

CBC were a good side but were beaten by a better side IMO. certainly their players man for man were bigger physically but i must disagree with somebody before me saying CBC were better man for man, from what i have seen Mary's have the better rugby players to co-incide with inteligent tactics. sure, had the CBC 6 scord under the posts it would have changed the game but it wasnt as if he slipped or spilled the ball or any freak misfortune, it was a superb tackle by the winger, so you must hand it to them. a good final is in prospect-i certainly cant call it!

i know most of the team cbc team well. they certantly weren't cocky about the game, they knew they had beaten a bad micheals team, and that they were up against a big pack and extremly fast backs. but i think they were lacking decent tactics, and made a few stupid decision. one of them was telling they had agreed to play into the wind in the first half and were set up to play defencive but the ref was a dic.k and wouldn't let them change. imo they should of kicked the ball high in the mary's 22, the sun was blinding.

anyways good luck to Marys, they looked a good side.
