Schools Rugby

What ye all think, I go to CBC, didn't go to the match in Dooradoyle but it seems we played badly, well done to Belvo in the leinster final. Mary's did well though

I thought Monkstown would have done better given they had a fair chunk of the Leinster school's side.

Congratulations to Belvo, Methody, Jes and Castletroy in particular on winning their provincial ***les.

Castletroy taking home both the senior and junior cups in Munster bodes well for the sport in this country. The more non traditional rugby schools developing talent, the better it'll be in the long run for the national team.

There's some real quality in the schools system at present. Ian McKinley, Andew Burke, Gary Foley, Michael Noone and Adam Macklin look like fantastic prospects on the Ireland u19s. The u18s are just as good with Michael Allen, Diarmuid McCarthy, Brian O'Hara, Luke Marshall and Jack O'Connell having big futures ahead of them if they can adapt to the adult game.

Where's Castletroy, what sort of school?

Where's Castletroy, what sort of school? [/b]

It's in Limerick. Castletroy College only opened in 2000 and has around 1000 students. For them to win the Senior Cup in just their 3rd year of competition is staggering.
