Who's looking good this year? I hear Munchins have been recruiting and I think Crescent have a strong Junior Cup team coming through from two years back?

Any hope a Waterford school will make the breakthrough, was reading the club game has really picked up there underage in the past few seasons?

Dont know about who is looking good, its a bit early to know. Wait till u18 schools and u19 squads are announced and see how many each school has in each and you may get a better idea.
The Limerick schools may preform better than they have in recent years as all 4 made the junior cup semis last season for the first time in ages

Waterpark College, where a lot of the waterpark players go, has won the O Brien Cup,a seeded competition for non A schools for the last 3 years.
Waterpark are double u19 and u17 champions so if the school down there went A it would decimate the club. I dont think they will go A though

Risteard

I'm hoping Clements can get into the JC. My brother said the 1st years this year beat all of the A schools apart from CBC who they didn't play. If they did there's a good core of younger players there.

Their Junior team won the King Cup, seeded cup for non A schools

Their U – 15 team beat Rockwell for first time since 1997.

They had 4 players on Munster A schools

Risteard

Yeah my brother, in his fifth game of rugby ever, was captain in the final. They succeeded where we failed in '04.

I hope they can press on anyway, Clements certainly have the facilities for a decent rugby team and if these players stay with them, there could be a good few years ahead.

Would many of the clements lads play for clubs as well and if they do who would they mainly play for?

Generally a mix. My brother joined with Richmond last year. When I was there it was mostly Young Munster with a few from Garryowen. None from Shannon/OC/Bohs etc. The problem is as that Clements isn't seen as a 'rugby school' we don't get an awful lot of players that would focus primarily on rugby. In my year the team was about half rugby players from clubs and the rest were GAA players, or other players that didn't play sport, who took it up for a time but were never really into it.

Seem to be changing going by the results in the younger years. Though I think GAA is still very much the focus.

A big problem with a school like Clements is if they get a good group of players together it's easy enough for a bigger school to persuade one or two of those players to join them instead and that really, really weakens the team left behind.

very true. east u17s won the regional games that decide the munster youths panel easily this year winning each of the 3 games by around 20-25 points.
of the 25 or so players that were involved in with the east 3 or 4 said they couldnt go forward to munster level as rockwell had asked them to join the school for senior cup. Rockwell had representatives at those regional games and picked out players they wanted for their senior cup team

That's not so bad if the guys actually get games with Rockwell, what about the guys on the schools panel who don't play for the school and then can't play for the club. Was very disappointed to see what happened the St. Mary's/Shannon team this season.

I think rules are changing for next season with schools only able to panel up to 25 for senior cup, so everyone panelled should have very good chance of getting gametime, and anyone else at senior level can play pan munster.
what happened with shannon/st marys was disappointing but they were informed incorrectly by a ex committee member that the kid in question could play. Rules for competitions next season are to be made clearer and given to all clubs before competition starts to ensure that doesnt happen again

Will be interesting to see how those changes affect the various schools.

The Shannon thing was sour grapes, imo.

shannon issue wasnt sour grapes, it was unlucky on shannon-st marys players but their coaches were misinformed and waterpark had a right to object.

That might be better for player development. The Limerick schools are possibly spread too think at the moment and that could be a big reason why theres been so few Limerick players playing underage rugby for Ireland.

I know they had a right to object, but the fact that they did so was sour grapes. I can see why so many people were happy to see them relegated a few years ago.

so shannon were not wrong at all to have players in their squad that were not eligible to play in the competition.
Most people that i hear have anything against waterpark, dont particularly like them because they are quite successful and are jealous of their achievements.
I didnt particularly like them until i got to know a lot of their players at east munster training sessions 3 years ago
Take underage leagues and cups. They have won 4-5 of the last 10 u16/17 and 18/19 leagues and the same amount of cups and it is pretty much the same at the younger ages as well
There is some in the club that are quite arrogant but you find people like that in all clubs.
The sooner they are back senior the better for munster. As waterford and the south east of the province needs a strong senior club to help bring through players

Risteard

Clements Junior team played Clongowes today and lost 15 -3.

My brother said the Clongowes backs were pretty good and in general they were probably stronger and fitter. Still though, only losing by 12 points, 5 of which was a last minute try, to one of the top schools in Ireland isn't bad. Not sure if it was an A team from Clongowes.

Risteard

I think Clements Junior team beat the Comp Junior cup team today. Obviously not in the cup but an interesting result considering Comp's strength in previous years

Clonmacken2011

Yes they did. 8 - 5 to Clements. Should have beaten them by more except Clements knocked on twice going over the line (very heavy rain throughout match). Comp only score a try in the last 5 mins. Clements also won three scrums against the head inside Comps 22. Watch this space for the remainder of the schools season.

Was there a competition. Seems odd, I would have expected Clements to have been challenging for that spot. They beat Glenstal yesterday I think.

The reason Munster numbers are so high there is because Blackrock college and possibly one or two other schools in Leinster have withdrawn their players from representitive rugby due to a dispute over player accessability.

Leinster want to start players in the academy and on professional training programmes while they're still in school, schools want full access of players to prepare for senior cup.

Brother has raced him a few times over 100, 200 in the past year. He is one of the quickest in ireland at u/age level.
If he keeps doing as well as he is at international u/age level in the athletics he'll be more than likely to stay at that, as he has the potential to go very far in that though with his father a member of the great Shannon RFC teams of the 1990s you never know.
greg and the other munster schools wing this year were two of the quickest ive seen play u/age for munster in the past 5-6 years at schools and youths level

Who won the Bowen Shield yesterday? PBC or Crescent

Seventh Bowen Shield Title For Crescent.
8 December 2011, 8:05 am
By Olan Allen

Crescent College Comprehensive won a thrilling Bowen Shield Final at Temple Hill to end a seven year gap since they last won the trophy.

PBC 7, Crescent College Comprehensive 12
Crescent who were the first winners of this trophy in 1928 were deserving winners of this final in an absorbing contest.
This game had everything that is good about schools rugby. Plenty of open running, big tackles and two packs that went at it hammer and thongs from the start.
The outcome of this epic contest was in doubt right up to the final whistle and credit must go to both teams for producing a game that was best about everything in schools rugby.
Crescent started the game as firm favourites as this side had won the Avonmore Milk Schools Junior Cup last season and the McCarthy Cup the year previous.
The Limerick side showed why they held the favourites tag as from the kick off they had the Pres’ defence in all sorts of trouble with out half Gearoid Ryan exploring gaps. Ryan was off target with a long range penalty effort after four minutes but made amends three minutes later with a sweeping move that sent full back Jason O’Sullivan in at the corner for a try.
Pres’ showed that they were not going to be brushed aside and they spent the next fifteen minutes camped in the Crescent Twenty Two but strong defending by the Limerick side and persistence in looking for a try rather than a kick at goal meant PBC ended this spell of the game scoreless. Crescent showed their credentials with another sweeping move that ended with number 8 Cormac Blake touching down to make it 10-0 after twenty three minutes.
Pres’ were enjoying great success in the line out with Conor Casey and Cormac Dineen excelling but in the second half when the chips were down Crescent’s Robbie Scott took over stealing the ball on several occasions especially on five meter throw ins’ close to the Crescent line.
Pres’ dominated the second half and knew that they had to get tries to win this game as the rules stated that tries would count in the event of the sides finishing level. The Mardyke School opted for touch from numerous penalties rather than kick the points. Morgan Carey did get over the Crescent line but the defence held him up and the danger was cleared.
Pres’ eventually made the brake through ten minutes from time when from a scrum, prop Stephen McCarthy barged over for a try and Conor Flanagan converted. Crescent weathered the storm from the restart and kept Pres’ in their own half but with the game in injury time Pres’ made one last effort. A great break by full back Paddy Hegarty sent winger Jerry Roche racing away but the Crescent cover got back to bundle him into touch short of the line.
Pres’ kept up the pressure and in one final drive they managed to get over the line but referee Kieran Barry decided that the ball was knocked on in the act of grounding it and so with it went the Cork side’s last chance as the final whistle sounded.
Scorers PBC: Stephen McCarthy try, Conor Flanagan con.
Crescent Comp: Jason O’Sullivan, Cormac Blake tries.
PBC: Paddy Hegarty; Sandeep Walia, Eoin Perry, David St. Ledger, Jerry Roche; Conor Flanagan, Luke Merriman; Bryan Traynor, Ben Murphy, Stephen McCarthy; Conor Casey, Cormac Dineen; Morgan Carey, Dylan Lane, Michael Murphy. Replacements: Cian Stanton, Patrick Lee, Kieran O’Driscoll, James O’Brien, Conor Murphy, Rob Reardon, Hugh O’Keeffe, Cian Collins.
Crescent Comp: Jason O’Sullivan; Greg O’Shea, Will Leonard, JJ O’Neill, Jack Hogan; Gearoid Lyons, Ed Barry; Jonny Keane, Cillian Roe, Liam McMahon; Cian Guerin, Robbie Scott; Jay Kavanagh, James Green, Cormac Blake.
Replacements: Mark Rickard, Cian Spillane, James Beary, John Tuohy, Mark O’Connor, Gary Fitzgerald, Tim Moloney, Eoin Parkes.
Referee: K Barry (M.A.R.)

Midleton College and Bandon Grammar will meet in the final qualifier in this season’s Avonmore Supermilk Schools Senior Cup next Wednesday 14th December in Midleton.

Ben Hunter and Jamie Kingston added further tries after the break and Sweetnam converted both and also added two penalties.
