    With regard to Leinster I'd have to say that the club representative teams wouldnt be rife with political picks due mainly to the fact that Leinster employ independent coaches and development officers with no real connection to any club which IMO is a good idea

    in a team sport human nature will sometimes prevail selection is based on opinion and even development officers have opinions.....that is why i love athletics if you win you are in..the us olympic comm. select 123 at their trials ,no other criteria

    Highfield beat Crosshaven 11-6 in u-19. Typical bad temper encounter. Luckily Highfield won out, and justice was done.:D

    Underage squads no matter how much people say it doesnt happen will be impacted in some way by coaches picking players they know be it the players are from their club/school and that still does happen in leinster except its not as big a problem in leinster as in munster

    Munster use development officers as well but the development officers used in leinster to me seem to be elite development officers and generally are ex pros or guys whove played at leinster A level while playing AIL 1 and these guys pick players based on ability not who the kids are or where they are from

    Their semi against Shannon-St Marys will be a real cracker of a game when its played in a few weeks time.Either side could win that game with both appearing to be very strong sides based on their appearances so far
    2nd semi to be decided tomorrow with Garryowen playing Bruff in dooradoyle to decide who has home advantage in the semis v Bandon.

    Garryowen beat Bruff 38-8 in dooradoyle. Caught the very end of it, bruff were nowhere near g'owen who will hav it much tougher against bandon in their semi final in a few weeks time

    u19 Leinster Premier League Final between the R and B rebels and Gorey is now fixed for next Saturday @ 3 p.m in Naas.. Should be an interesting affair with provincial representative players on both sides..any thoughts?

    the f/h score was 10 -3 in g/owens favour,bruff had no answer in s/h ,no defensive line ,bandon should be tougher

    Bandon will be much tougher, very strong team.
    Hopefully the garryowen bandon and shannon highfield games will be previewed on munsterrugby ala the senior cup games

    I dont know if they were missing players but from what ive heard, Bruffs u17s are huge with 2 or 3 of their forwards well over 6 feet tall and physically monstrous) and Bruff backboned a strong north u17 squad that did well in the regional games that decide this septembers munster youths.

    Equally Bruff beat Waterpark 6 - 3 and Highfield beat Waterpark by 20+ points. I was wondering were Bruff resting players, did Waterpark have a lot missing when they played Highfield. The suggestion from a number of sources seems to be that Bruff are almost unbeatable ;)

    Bruff are good, had plenty of players in the north u17 development team but ive never suggested(nor has anyone else) that they or any other team are unbeatable.(we'll leave the silly bigging up of teams to the leinster schools thread)
    Highfield look strong and will be the first highfield team since the team at u18 level(who beat nenagh in the munster final and went on to win the all ireland) 3 years ago to make a munster underage semi final

    Didnt get that from you Ormond, anyway Highfield have a huge task ahead this weekend away in Kanturk, tough place to play but give it a lash and see what happens but should be a good game, our local friends in the Well take on Bruff in Musser thats a pretty handy Well team but Bruff start as favourites

    Kanturk will be tough, have been producing some very good backlines from what ive seen the past few years and usually have packs to give their backline enough ball to create decent opportunities

    All to play for on the day to see who gets a chance to play in musgrave in the munster final. Hopefully previews and/or match reports of the games are out up on munsterrugby.ie similar to what happens with the schools games

    Clon were missing a few against Bruff. Bruff and Kanturk are the teams to beat.

    My brother was at the trial. There was a game with 3 periods of 30 minutes to account for over 100 lads at the trial.
    Anyone who is in school can play,age doesnt matter
