We lost to Bective 22-18 in the O’ Connor cup final .
Absolute cracker of a game , Came right back into
It & nearly nicked it at the end , They probably deserved overall as have had a good season &
Getting to both finals means your also having a good season .
Will enjoy the break let the body heal !

Billy Nagwini won't be playing for Wicklow as he will be at the touch rugby world cup

Imagine Enniscorthy will win it.

Enniscorthy can play their 2nds team in towns cu. Skerries, Naas and Tullamore do that

I believe that Billy will be flying out the evening after the final so he will be playing


your right forgot about that but enniscorty 2nds would have to regrade some players and would surely be much weakened

Correct, Billy is playing!

Will be a cracking final. Enniscorthy the favourites on paper, but have played a lot of rugby over the last few weeks with promotion to AIL taking priority. On the other hand, Wicklow have been entirely focussed on this match and will be gunning for it!

Le Bruise

10-9 to enniscorthy, Wicklow the better team on the day, but not to be in the end!

Can't help but be impressed by the success being achieved at Wesley, great strength within their junior setup and their first team really pushing on.

Always been very hospitable when playing out in Donnybrook also, so can't begrudge them their success, fair play to them.

I'm amazed that Wesley are doing so well, to be honest. I remember playing their J1 and J3 sides and they struggling to field competitive teams (8-10 years back). Their underage much have really been purring.

how many Dublin city senior clubs field underage at most levels most seasons? Very few.
Wesley field some underage but more they are attracting many who come to city from round the country especially with having the 4g pitch, decent training facilities.

8-10 years ago their clubhouse was a kip, the pitch was an absolute shambles by February because of schools rugby and they were turfed out early on Fridays to let some drunk 14 year olds try get the shift :pac:

Wesley have benefitted no end from the 4G going in in Donnybrook, its allowed everything to improve immensely.

Exactly, good facilities and based in town. Not really trekking up to Ballychorus anymore. Makes a lot of sense for people working in town to do training on a 4G and play on Friday/Sat/Sun whatever and be competitive

I think they field 6 sides (along with Nure and Tarf)

Actually vile. I think they have done a lot on the drainage etc but there, Lansdowne and themselves, but I never played at any great level so always seemed to be up there.Fairly grim of a Friday night in December

I played J3/2/1 matches there and coached J6/5/3 it never got better, no matter the level.

It's the wind I hated up there, Jesus it would cut through you.

Honestly, for those of you still playing, I would happily play in Ballychorus every week (the old conditions) if I still could play.
Enjoy every minute of it.

They've got an underage league of ireland team playing on the top pitch (used to be the main one maybe?) sees very little use from either club now, maybe some minis still use it?

Did does seem that over last few years that Wesley have gone from strength to strength but Bective on the other side of the ground have seemed to have taken a small step back

A massive step back, really lucky not to be relegated to Leinster League 1B last year.

3 relegations in 5 years I think they had.

think they though that the standard in 1A was less than it is and nearly got caught out ,

that 4 g pitch is a balls of a job to play on too , for a forward anyway

Bective paying price for poor decisions over years. Were very static in old division 2 for years. Never really challenging for promotion or relegation then just struggled over years as league went on and more new clubs came up from across the country.
Traditionally were a club many guys from down the country joined in the capital but long time since that was case.
Plenty kids play minis there but just dont return to club after school if still playing. Cathal Marsh, Rory O Loughlin just some of guys who've went pro who played their minis there.
Need to try start field some sides at u13 to u18 to try get more kids involved in club to try get them for adult rugby
Were 2A until 14/15 then 2 seasons in 2B before relegation from 2C in 17/18

Their club house needs a serious renovation too. Would be great to see them get a new building like Wesley.

It is a hell of a lot better than the sand pit/car park that used to be there.

Bective in line for new clubhouse over the next few years the car park will go and clubhouse moved forward as Wesley’s is at other end with multi storey apartments possibly going behind where existing clubhouse is, planning permission granted and lapsed and think Re applied for but maybe still a few years away

I loved playing on the Lansdowne artificial pitch and I was a lumbering, wobbling, and jiggling loose head
