Longford will be relegated next season - couldn't even field a 2nd team towards the end of the season and the tonking by Tullow probably shows they're complete lack of strength in dept. 10 man rugby won't win you many games in the higher divisions. That is what I was trying to say in a nice way! I ...

hmmmm not a great sign if your scared of some of the team s in div 1b after scraping up Clondalkin will have a better season than Longford next season, both may well be fighting to stay up but Clondalkin are in better shape because they are a growing club and their PRO alone will ensure that their ...

An Ashbourne win itself would be a big result, to win with a bonus is ambitious to say the least. Both sides under huge pressure to win for different reasons. I think Edenderry will want it more. Agree that Gorey could come away with the spoils in Kilkenney. Clane have to win, just like Roscrea, but...

clon better go back to clane and see if they can find promotion where they left it Ouch! Don't think they're out yet but they have a hard road considering Longford want to Finish off the league when they play them, plus Kilkenny with no breaks for the past few weeks. I'm reminded of their match aga...

So Clane won! Anyone at the game? Title shot gone now for Clondalkin and the pressure is on to retain second only one point Clear with Longford & Kilkenny left. So Longford can claim the title on their home patch in two weeks with a win over Clondalkin. No report from the game but it is a crsus...

If Clane win their final 3, Clon lose in Longford and then beat KK, and Ashbourne beat Edenderry, will that relegate Clon to 4th? We are probably getting a little ahead of ourselves at the moment, it will be a little easier to predict after the Clon v Clane game.

Some bold predictions in that post. I think its hard to say that away wins against the bottom two mean that Clane have turned a corner. Clondlalkin bounced back from that Gorey defeat by hammering Wexford, and Gorey are probably the form team in the league at present so the Clondlalkin result was no...

Big weekend in Div 2, with the games in hand being played this weekend comining. Kilkenny are now out of the race with defeat in Ashbourne and will need to keep winning to stop Gorey or edenderry from overtaking them. If Clondalkin beat Clane they go into the longford game with first spot in sight ...

Can anybody tell me how you can get a team into the 2nd town cup with out have one in the 1st towns cup Fair enough i can see how a developing team or a new team should be allowed to do it but come on !!!! Dundalk wtf Clane wft Balbriggan ok Birr ok IT Carlow ok Cill Dara wtf Swords ok Boyne wtf No...

Gorey showed how to beat Clondalkin by being diciplined. They didnt give any kickable penalties away in the second half which forced Clon to go for tries. The Clon outhalf is a very good player but neautralise him and they can be made look average. They will still be promoted and are a good side, an...

There would be no shame if Longford didn't win it because if they don't finish job now they simply don't deserve it. Looking at the remaining fixtures I think the league will finish 1.Longford 2. Clon 3. Kilkenny 4. Clane 5. Ashbourne , I agree with Chris above regarding Asbourne, Clane at home is ...

Agreed that is is a very competitive and intruiging division this year. It would be a shame if Longford didnt win it, one narrow defeat all season, otherwise they have mixed style in the early part of the league with gritty performances of late. It would cap a great year for the club should they go ...

Grounds flooded according to the Clondalkin website. They will need to go unbeaten for the remainder of the season to have any chance of winning the title, however 2nd spot is guaranteed barring an unlikely collapse or an unlikely unbeaten run in from Ashbourne, Clane or Kilkenny. Title is Longford...

Boyne vs Newbridge home win + bonus Cill Dara vs Coolmine home win Skerries vs Dundalk Home win Tullamore vs Co. Carlow home win Leinster League - Division 1B Enniscorthy vs Portlaoise home win Garda vs Monkstown home win Tullow vs West Offaly Lions home win + bonus Wicklow vs New Ross Home win Lein...

Gorey Ashbourne Home win Longford Mullingar Home win Kilkenny Clane Away win Clondalkin Roscrea Home win Wexford Wanderers Edenderry Home win There will be an upset somewhere, so i'm going for Gorey & Wexford to cause upsets. Roscrea have a game under their belts but Clondalkin should have enoug...

Given the December we are having and the January we had last year, do you think there is scope for a winter break in the season? Start it in early September, run until the end of November then resume it at the end of January? With there being only 8 teams in the all divisions except Div3 next season...

How are pitches around the province looking for this weeks games, will there be any cancellations? Games along the east coast in Wicklow, Wexford, Louth must be under threat at the moment?

Leinster League - Division 1A Dundalk Tullamore home win Newbridge Co. Carlow away win Coolmine Skerries Home Win Cill Dara Boyne away win Leinster League - Division 1B Enniscorthy Garda Away win Wicklow Tullow home win New Ross Portarlington home win Portlaoise West Offaly Lions home win Leinster L...

Have to say didn't see that coming in Division 2, Longford must be the real deal although their visit to Kilkenny who are unbeaten at home will tell a tale, a must win for Kilkenny. Clane though are the dark horses, their next two games are at home and then Clondalkin away and after Christmas they ...
