Will be interesting to see how many of the Roscrea boys end up at Connacht next season. It looks like a special team this year.

Have a look at Connacht U19 Dan Trayers at No 8 for Cistercian College Roscrea, who beat Blackrock in the Leinster Schools Q- Final today. Amazing stuff, not often you see Blackrock completely out muscled. On Setanta Ireland at 8.

Another Academy prospect with a mad mad haircut to boot.

Thanks for that Cows.Looks to be a good signing that he has experience with youth is a big plus.

Anyone else hear this? Did I miss the announcement?

Yeah, was announced near the end of last week - Think it was only on Twitter and Facebook. Dont remember seeing anything on the website

Sound!

Had checked that site before and it is never up to date. They usually do not have times on the site. Games get postponed, they so not correct the information. Usually takes days to put up results too.

But maybe things will be different now! Fingers crossed.

O and screw you OL! LOL

Or even better if someone has a link that would have all this information?

Thanks

Look on Connacht website.

Nothing against you GTTC but its amazing how many people don't look on the provincial websites, the info is most of the time there....

Played yesterday.

Colaiste Iognaid 5 Summerhill Sligo 26
Garbally College 12 Marist Athlone 13

Sae Jes and Summerhill in the swamp yesterday. Summerhill deserved winners. Big physical side and could have won by more, Summerhill good side. Pack very good but if Jes had played smarter theyd have been closer

Any news on the Garbally Match today ?

Very few games played so far due to poor pitch conditions etc
Games from opening week that were called off will be played in February....

Interesting article in the Times today.
