Good win for Highfield. Favourites won that game. Think Highfield have to be favourites for title IMO

very good win, I think the final was originally scheduled for Thomond but I presume with two Cork teams it will go on in Musser or CIT ??

Thought final had orig been scheduled for cork venue this year anyway.
With 2 cork teams final prob will be on in Musgrave or CIT.

Crescent beat Highfield 12-7 in 17s quarter final this morning. They now play Waterpark in 1 semi final

Bruff beat Midleton 24-0 in other 17s quarter played today and will play Clonakilty in the other semi final

Irish Youths play Scotland sunday in Scotland. Squad be same as the squad frm the game against the Irish Schools

Anyone know where the Munster under 19 and under 17 finals are due to be played? Due to be played the 16th but no venue set yet afaik

Catalpa1 · 06-03-2013 7:59pm

Munster u 19 Bandon vrs Highfield is supposed to be 18/03, originally down for Thomond and a double header with the u 17 afaik. Possibility that Highfield may have to play this weekend against the Well in the Cork league/cup, so it would be 5 tough games in a row,might know more later and will post

Any closer to figuring out where the Youth's finals will be?

The game went ahead only after the Hamilton RFC pitch was cleared of snow by an army of club volunteers. As a result the surface was both soft and slippery and when more wintry showers moved in, playing conditions worsened in the second half.
In the event the match was a battle between the two forward packs, albeit that both sides tried to move the ball along the back-ine but with little success.

For the young Ireland Clubs squad, this was a disappointing performance ahead of their upcoming match against England at Coolmine RFC on Saturday, March 30.

"We're very disappointed having had a good match against Italy Under-18s a fortnight ago," said head coach Wayne Mitchell.

"We had a camp last weekend and we thought we had made genuine progress but the first half just killed us. We missed a lot of tackles and we didn't go low enough.

"It was even more difficult in the second half as the weather got worse. But we're not using the weather as an excuse.

"Scotland had to play into the wind in the first half and they scored 14 points and we scored none. Bottom line is that they were smarter than us."

In defeat Ireland still had some impressive performances, notably from captain James Nolan, full-back Cathal Evans and flanker Conor Oliver.

There was also a good showing from replacement out-half Conor O'Brien, who will have a further year in this age group.

Ireland's only real chance of scoring in the first half came from a clever run into midfield by winger Anthony McGivney that created space for Evans, only for the full-back to be caught a metre from the Scotland line.

At the other end Ireland were unable to stop the Scots scoring two tries in the first half, the first by flanker Neil Irvine-Hess from a rampaging run by number 8 Magnus Bardbury and the second from a forward drive that ended with lock Lewis Carmichael crashing over.

Both scores were converted by full-back Gavin Lowe who then added two second half penalties before the Scots sealed off the match with a second close range try for Carmichael.
