Men against boys in the J1 Cup Final tonight in Lansdowne and us
I know we have UCD tomorrow and Lansdowne on a free weekend but still was very impressive 2nd half from Lansdowne and it wasn't like a "stacked stacked" Lansdowne side.
I heard Mick McGrath was playing for Wanderers and got a try v Barnhall
Barnhall played a mix of their 1s and J1s was told.

We are very very poor v a pretty weak (understandably) UCD side. J1s got hammered v Lansdowne on Friday night their cup final but probably not helped with Lansdowne having the weekend off.
Some transfers confirmed from teamsheers or not as case may be
Darragh Murphy staying with Lansdowne
Clontarf have signed a Kiwi back row called Finlay Joyce
Ruben Pim still playing at Wesley
he back playing? last i heard he was player coach in malahide only last season or season before... think he was head of s&c... must have moved
on player news u know much about jack keating? i heard he was off to tarf but saw the second half of the belvo game at the weekend and i saw someone sidelined and replacement in the 14 top who looked like his build but wasnt 100% sure if it was him or not and if he stayed...
I think Jack Keating is still with Belvo
Is Cathal Marsh still playing with Terenure this season ?
Heard he had finished up, not confirmed though. @Chico Flores will know more I imagine
He was gonna finish up but giving it one last go. But not back training yet I dont think.
Jack Keating defo still with Belvo.
Cork Con have taken half, if not more, of the good UCC players from last season like their 8 Jack Kelleher
Seen Tomás Quinlan is togging out with Dolphin, great signing.
Also seen E.Mills listed on their teamsheet at no.15. I wonder is this Eamonn Mills from Lansdowne?
Probably is. Think he's originally from Crosshaven so must have moved back closer to home
Nothing new about Con taking most of a UCC squad....
Yes has moved back to Cork and taken up player coach role

Any chance u have the score of the Lansdowne game tonight in Wesley? Dermot omahony on twitter and Leinster site don’t have it up yet. was at the tarf game to watch it last night as I was off work earlier very cagey game a good few verbals here and there between both side ref found it very hard to control
Lansdowne 43 Old Wesley 7
UCD 33 St Marys 12
Jack Boyle started for UCD along with Sean O'Brien and James Culhane and Michael Moloney came on at half-time. Looked like Marys were blooding a fair few guys.
Sligo 16 Galwegians 7
Sean Skehan Interview - Terenure College RFC (tcrfc.ie)
Lots of players signed it seems, some big names too, Trenier, Hannon and McNulty is a Pro Front Row, They had a good one last year too!
Not great for last year's team all these new faces coming in
Was Trenier ex Terenure school ? Doesn't seem to be too many other school players in the squad
Marcus Hanna, John McKee, Charlie Ryan, Sean McNulty, Matt Bowen, Barry Galvin, Craig Trenier and Callum Smith 😥
Terenure are not messing about
