Never to early to start discussing next year's cup.

My early favourites are Rock to retain the title in my opinion, but Clongowes, St. Michaels and Newbridge to be the other contenders.

Clongowes

Sounds about right Rock do look the strongest outfit and favourites but we said the same about Terenure last year and look what happened

CGD

Will all depend on the draw but will be the usual suspects with possibly Newbridge crashing the party again

If its too early, then don't post in it and wait until you think its time.

Couldn't agree more. It's insane starting a thread on this now.

Leinster don't traditionally name their u18/19/20 interpro squads until late in the summer but Munster have named their under 18 schools squad and 19s squad which has quite a lot of schools players involved

Interesting to note that last years Michael's team that made it to the final only returned 4 players(Byrne, Molony, Kelleher and Murphy) who started on the winning cup team the year before.


Harry Redmond(prop), James Ryan(lock), Charlie Cregan(lock/flanker), Alex Penny(flanker), Michael Gilsenan(flyhalf/centre) and Adam Leavy(centre) all started this years final and are back next year.

Rock return 5(Jeremy Loughman(prop),David O'Connor(lock),Nick Timoney(number 8),Zach O'Hagan(wing), Jack Power(fullback))

St. Marys

Not too sure on this but the rumours are saying that St. Mary's have snapped up Sean Maitlands cousin from a school in Australia late on in the school year called Jack Duffy. He plays 10 and was part of the GPS 1st and 2nd team early last year in Sydney. Anybody else hear about this?

MOD EDIT: This is now closed. we will only start a thread 2 weeks before competition kick off
