    I watched the 'tarf game on a live stream.

    3-0 at half time to 'hinch but an absolutely drab affair. A big wind at 'hinch's back, 3 points never looked like it would be enough.

    'tarfs scrum started ascertaining dominance in the second half but it never looked like 'tarf was going to threaten a try bonus point. However, an intercept try and a long ranger on the back of a turnover with the last play of the game meant 'tarf left with maximum points.

    Banbridge had to play their match vs UCC 'behind closed doors' on Saturday due to IRFU directive after verbally abusive behaviour of some of their supporters in game away to Malone the previous week.

    I think this is a first in club rugby in Ireland.

    Hopefully it will be the last.

    A lot of different stories doing the rounds but i think Malone scored a controversial late try to win it and Banbridge supporters reacted, Bann have banned both supporters for the rest of the season. A Banbridge player also got a red card in the incident and received a 8 week ban. Not sure what exactly was said to the officials.

    gonna miss it unfortunately stuck in work on the late shift. Be interesting how close the teams will be if they are... i.e. if the game will be as close to the leinster cup in the preseason or not and if lansdowne can follow up with last weeks win...

    Well done Terenure. We hung in for a while but I think Terenure were well deserving of their win

    Thanks Stainalert, I thought it was pure 50/50 for the first half. Your first try was a peach but we just got on top of you in the tight 5 and had more off the bench. Scoreline flattered us a bit but think we did deserve to win.

    couldnt make the game unfortunately as i was in work otherwise i would have been there to support our seniors.... think o'neills break against us was a great break in the lead up to that try.... as for the game think the experience of your make was the difference tbh. As for the highlight of the weekend i think tarf get a nodd, thank comeback showed how good a side they are and i think they will carve it up in 1a this year personally...

    Great comeback by 'tarf but definitely got a bit of luck as it was not close to a straight throw into the lineout with that last score.


    The 'tarf 'Nure game in a few weeks is a mouthwatering prospect!


    Any of the bookmakers taking odds on the AIL this year? I couldn't find it with a google search, but then maybe they just do it come playoff time?

    Was a fantastic comeback from Tarf, but dont know on carve up. They could well win it of course, but it wasn't like they won by miles in the AIL final and we have gotten stronger too. This season we've beaten Lansdowne, and away, by more than they did at home

    Boyle Sports offer odds, but no handicap just straight betting so the odds are bad.

    yeah was thinking the same when i caught the live stream that throw did look crucked throw.... but it does show that when they come together and click they really do click and can grind out a result. fitzwilliam sports have odds up its frozen now but think the odds are tossed up between nure and tarf

    well yeah thats a fare point.... nure and a tarf fixture will be close but think both teams will run away with wins against most sides in the league this year personally in regular fixtures (wont say much yet till we get to play offs). u werent far off tbf to u in the final last year
