    Why??



  • Registered Users Posts: 64 ✭✭good_afternoon




  • Registered Users Posts: 64 ✭✭good_afternoon


    Sorry, just saw results.


    Terenure the team to beat.

    Con going about their business quite well...as always.

    Lansdowne struggling.

    Tarf probably didn't take fixture seriously yesterday.

    YM.. Hot and cold.

    Shannon building but need points.

    Trinity slowing a touch it seems but still going to be in the mix.

    UCD will be bottom half.

    Hinch good start but hard to see them in top 4.

    Garryowen will need miracle



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Terenure do seem to be doing well. Will IRFU clamp down on them about players getting IPADs for man of match like they did on Ballina giving player use of car a few seasons ago???

    Lansdowne are struggling but should be fine as Garryowen are worse...

    Buccs going well in 1B. Would be good to have connacht side in 1A.

    Queens, Blackrock teams to beat in 2A. Cashel next best. Bohs look likely to be dropping to 2B unless something big changes soon

    Greystones 6 clear of Corinthians in 2B. Enniscorthy and wegians well adrift at bottom

    Instonians 7 clear of Tullamore. bottom 2 are Ballina on 1 point and Well on 5. next sides are a bunch on 12/13.

    The ipads

    UCD will be worse than Lansdowne also and someone else will drop back to bottom half... Hinch or cookies. An obvious top 4 of con, Trinity, tarf and nure forming. Hinch/cookies... Then bottom 4 of shannon lansdowne garryowen and ucd. I think they'll get away with it as they are sponsored and im curious to know what happens if they lose and the player of the match is from visitors?? Is it always gonna be given to their own. Connacht badly need a 1a team.. Buccs dropped quick last time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    That its sponsored should be irrelevant. I know a car is different but Ballina got 2 points deducted and 1000 fine for player having use of sponsored car a few years back...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭luke9311


    lansdowne struggling but with abit of luck hopefully we get going again, kinda hard to see us struggling for relegation tbh i think mid way/bottom half be where we end up simular to i think it was 2015/2016 season year after we won the league we had a simular season but did just enough to stay up mathematically. up to now i always thought tarf were the team to beat but second guessing now after the weekend but goes to show u anybody or their day is capable of beating one of the big teams/favourites if things go there way.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭luke9311


    Id say shannon are kicking themselves tbh... i saw the game on the live stream while in work i think it was dineen? one of their players made a break during the game andif he passed to his teammate he would have been in for a try but didnt and set up a ruck but didnt score a try off it later one and the game ended up with a 1 score game. so yeah in a way could have should have one if you look at it like that



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭luke9311


    anyone at the cookies tarf game?

    i seen it in this thread a while back saying stevie crosbie is in tarf now but didnt know if it was rumouirs or certain tbh...

    I seen tarf put up their teamsheet before the game on twitter and he was on the bench.... was it the same stevie im thinking of that played that day that used to be in old belvo or just another player with the same name? Thanks

    Jan 7th is Buccs V Queens in Dubarry

    Jan 14th is Terenure V Young Munster in Lakelands (Double up of the AIL Fixture)

    Final is February 4th venue TBD



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Saw that. Nure Cookies doubling up no surprise..

    Would be good to see the final in a provincial stadium if it cant be in Aviva like a senior national club final should be.



  • Registered Users Posts: 636 ✭✭✭Chico Flores


    Great win v Clontarf, fantastic crowd there and seriously tough rugby.

    Being able to win such a physical game without Jordan Coughlan a big help too for the confidence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 326 ✭✭luke9311


    hes over in dubai on a tanning top up i think 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 720 ✭✭✭Hey_Ho_Lets_Go_3


    Henry McErlean starting at 10 for Terenure tomorrow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond

    Was he playing centre or backrow?



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Mccurragh


    When you look at the quality of Ucc's team & the coaching set up you would wonder what's going wrong in the set up.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,544 ✭✭✭ulsteru20s


    The only three names i recognize are all under 19s, so maybe just a young team? I’d say coaching is outsized important at that level though.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,544 ✭✭✭ulsteru20s


    I didnt catch the number. He usually plays back row i think.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Its university team so always going to be young but there is a few guys who're out of 20s 3/4 years.



  • Registered Users Posts: 4 Mccurragh


    Young team , but exceptional players a lot of provincial or ex provincial players, they started the season well but faded away . Michael Bradley and Ken O Connell are coaching them , I was expecting to go back to 1a this year but not now i'd say

    Clontarf v Con , Mary'sv Wesleys & Ucc v Highfield will be interesting its great now we can get some streams too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    1A very interesting now with todays results. https://www.irishrugby.ie/2023/01/28/energia-all-ireland-league-results-round-up-16/

    Clontarf and Con just 3 behind Terenure but big gap of 9 to cashing pack of Young Munster, Trinity and Ballynahinch. Another gap of 8 to Lansddwne who lead pack trying to avoid relegation playoff. Young Munster Trinity game real good battle today in Limerick. Young Munster will be disappointed not to have won more but for

    Buccs lead 1B on points difference from Armagh. Very tight here with Highfield 3 behind the top two, Belvedere 2 further behind. Wesley another 3 behind. Malone bottom and 7 behind Banbridge who will hope they can close the current 4 point gap to UCC.

    Queens lost to Nenagh at home today so their lead reduced to 3 with the chasing pack of Barnhall and Blackrock both winning. No changes in position for any side in the division but gap slightly wider with Nenagh in 5th now 7 clear of Navan in 6th. 7 points between 1st and 5th means a lot will change for promotion playoffs etc. At other end Ballymenas win over Dolphin even with Dolphins 2 Bonus points means gap ibetween the two is now 9 with Bottom side Bohs a further 3 behind. Quite likely the 2 munster sides will be relegated/in playoffs.

    Greystones yet to lose in 2B and 8 clear of Corinthians who are 17 clear of 3rd. Corinthians have game in hand on stones. Only 7 points between 3rd and 8th so lot will change in next few weeks. Malahide in 8th have 5 points over Galwegians, and then another 5 points difference to last place Enniscorthy. Enniscorthy have a game in hand over Malahide and Wegians.

    Instonians also yet to lose but also impressively have got the max 60 points from their 12 games in 2C and 18 clear of 2nd. Tullamore and Skerries leading the charge for the playoff spots. Clonmel 4th with Bruff just on their tails. Sundays Well in the relegation spot and Ballina are in the playoff position but Midleton are a point ahead and Omagh a further 2 ahead so next few weeks will change a lot here



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Senior cup games this weekend in few provinces. In Ulster Ballymena Malone play tonight. Banbridge beat Rainey 35-8 last night while Bangor conceded to Armagh.

    Munster semi finals are Saturday Nenagh host Highfield attempting to be the first tipperary club still in existence to make the final of the senior cup. Rockwell had teams in early years pre world war to make final. 2nd semi is an all 1A tie with Young Munster hosting Con



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Buccs play Queens in Bateman Cup semi final this weekend as well. winner plays Terenure in final



  • Registered Users Posts: 265 ✭✭Strand1970


    I say it's an unwanted distraction for Buccs especially when pushing for promotion



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,151 ✭✭✭Lost Ormond


    Buccs beat Queens 45-21 in Bateman Cup so will play final against Terenure on 11th March in venue yet to be decided

    Just the 3 games this weekend with all moving kick off time to avoid clash with Irish game

    Ballymena Crescent in 2A and Belfast Harlequins Corinthians and Rainey Enniscorthy in 2B all kick off at 12.30


    In the Junior leagues Bective leading Leinster by 7 points with 3 games to go. Theyve to travel to 2nd place Gorey in last round but should have league sealed before then. Gorey, Monkstown should have all ireland cup spots with last spot between Suttonians and Seapoint.

    Richmond lead Munster by 10 with3 games to go. They should win league but 3 places for all ireland cup to be decided between 4 teams. Bandon, Newcastle West, Kilfeacle and Mallow 3 points between them all fighting for all ireland cup spots.

    Connacht Creggs are first so have home advantage and will be favourites in league semis. Connemara and Castlebar will also be in semis.

    Ballyclare lead Clogher Valley by 5 points. Ballyclare have 1 game to play while Clogher Valley have 3 games to play following their run to winning the All Ireland Junior Cup. Clogher Valley should do enough to win the title.
