Geoff Moylan is Director of Rugby with tadgh bennett as head coach and mike storey as forwards. They signed Alan Fitz, a backrow from Garryowen. Not sure who else. Robbie Deegan went to terenure and ger finucane retired. Doubt they will see Casey or flannery until the new year. There trying to sign a 10.

Garryowen also trying to sign a foreign 10 and second row.
Evan cusack to young Munster - could play a bit at 10.

it will be September once games begin that we get an idea on whos where etc.

Shannon could struggle next season don't seem to have a lot of depth on d squad,Deegan would be a loss but was injury prone, 12/13 could b a problem area..

Wonder why McGrath would move down 4 divisions...

Fixed your post.

It's gas that Shannon were penalised last year for paying some lads airfare when it's an open secret that there are a number of clubs who are giving lads a few coin to play.
But what can be done, nothing illegal about some random guy giving another random guy a few quid because they're mates... just don't put it in writing that it's to play for club x and go about your business. Or am I missing something?

The Lost Sheep · 06-08-2019 12:28pm

I don't know a Rory Fleming from Greystones, certainly not with their senior team.

D14Rugby · 06-08-2019 2:09pm

Rory Fleming is from Galwegians as per the Mary's update

Chico Flores · 06-08-2019 3:28pm

FellasFellas · 06-08-2019 4:21pm

Mark Flanagan from Bedford and Sarries,
Dan Sheehan from DUFC to LFC, not sure if happening 100%
Conall Doherty and Paul Kiernan from UCD

Naas losing quite a few players:

Cillian Dempsey to Marys, Johne Murphy & Fionn Carr retiring and moving on.
Paulie Tolofua has done his cruciate
Peter Osbourne gone travelling I think

Signed a 15 from Clondalkin. I don't have his name.

Stainalert · 08-08-2019 8:55am

Ed O’Keeffe has signed for Old Wesley

Heard that also.

Tadhg McElroy joining Clontarf and Joe Horan joining Belvo.

Belvo also with Mike Ross on their coaching staff this year. Money doesn't seem to be an issue on Anglesea Road this season, the boom is most certainly back!

The Lost Sheep · 14-08-2019 12:08pm

Hearing young Munster been going round all over limerick/all over in general offering this and that to sign players
Will be interesting to see how many new faces they have
Charity cups starting soon so we'll soon know

Garryowen play terenure, navan host young Munster and sligo travelling to nenagh this weekend for run outs. Any more lined up

Seems Aungier hasn't transferred to Clontarf going by the Leinster team sheet for tomorrow.

Chico Flores · 19-08-2019 11:20am

Think a few teams played friendlies over the weekend. I see Navan played Young Munster popped up in my twitter feed.

Garryowen played Old Belvedere and Shannon hosted Terenure

Ian Condell, formerly of UL Bohs and Ed O’Keefe played for Wesley last night in versus Trinity in the Leinster Senior Cup.

Alan Francis was playing for Trinity.

Went into it, which was a mistake as got drenched. Wesley won 28-10, much bigger pack and more experienced on a wet night.

A huge amount of pressure is going to be on Rock now. New head coach but haemorrhaging players by the week it seems and a lot of Rock SCT players deciding to move to other clubs and current Rock players moving on like Francis. A club with a lot of financial clout but sliding down the tables, never a good look.

How was Ed O'Keeffe, saw he was playing Sale A a good bit recently.

Wasn’t a night for the backs. Wesley played an effective keep ball and they kicked well. Trinity tried to open the play up as much as possible but just not the night for it. No one really stood out as a superstar, but so early in season to be fair.

If it shows other clubs not to overdo spending on players and focus on their own age grade and development systems then its a good thing.
How many of the schools players will have any connection to club any way? How many will have played youths/minis in the club?

Yeah
Young enough shannon team by looks of it with Daly, Iguweru

Interesting to see Jake Considine on bench for crescent. hopefully he goes back to front row as he was a real prospect there and stops playing backrow where he wasnt as effective

To be fair Rock tend to have a very strong connection with Willow Park at youths/mini level

John Sutton gone to Cork Con from Buccaneers

Ryan Foley and Tomás Quinlan back there too

And have fielded under age teams regularly for a couple of years now but might be a few more until that is seen to have paid off at U20's level

Some of the short to medium term planning leaves a lot to be desired. In fairness, it's a hard sell. Bottom of the Pile in 20's, slipping down the AIL. Hopefully Blaney can work the oracle again because in fairness some of the more recent long term planning and facilities investment has been really good.

Lansdowne 7 Terenure 23

Terenure full value for the win. A few new faces I didn’t know, but the centres were the Glenstal College captain from last year and Deegan, who used to play for Shannon

Yeah hard to argue against that tbh. Lansdowne never got going although I thought Conal Doherty in Centre done well for his first outing with Lansdowne. First time in a long while I seen nure travel with big support to Lansdowne rd

Why are Barnhall in this, when the other 3 teams are 1A?
