It seems that cus are into the final of the amlin challenge cup. Having beaten Wesley 17 : 10

Edit; press(Pres Bray, bloody spellcheck) and newbridge drew the other semi. Love to see cus and newbridge. For personal reasons.

Clongowes into the final with a 34-20 win over Michael's. Excellent second half performance, especially from their pack.

Yeah Michaels did well in the first half and their centres and full-back were very sharp. However the Clongowes pack took over in the second half and just killed them. Very impressed with their hooker, tighthead and number eight.

Is the scrum push law universal for under-age rugby or is just in Ireland? Clongowes totally dominated at scrum-time and would have won far more comfortably were they not confined by the 1.5m push law. I can understand the need for it on safety grounds at many under-age levels but it seems a bit redundant at what is essentially U-19's.

Anyone know where I'd be able to watch this match online? I think it's being showed on setanta at 5 today.

Odds on for Clongowes to win this years title! Their forward pack are something else for 16,17 and 18 year olds!

Think it would be a massive shock if they don't now they've Roscrea in the final. They beat Gerards 18-14 today.

The 1.5 metre push is an U-19 law variation

Wednesday, 23rd March:
Vinnie Murray Cup Final: CUS v Newbridge College , at Donnybrook, 2:30 PM;

Newbridge beat Pres 14:3

Can now look forward to shouting at Grumpy on the 23rd.

You'll back me up Slipper won't you?

[Slipper1]

That all depends on who pays me most.

Have your back Johng!

really on your side Grumpy!!

For the purposes of this discussion. Newbridge are munster.

Step aside Grumpy; CUS boys are on the road again, on the road again, on the road again....repeat, until someone hits you.

Jasus, I'd nearly hit you meself.

And yes I know we dress like Munster. That is an anomaly due to a hole in the spacetime continuum.

Newbridge beat us in the League but that was due to a dodgy TJ call by some Newbridge pupil running the line.

Not a chance! We are Leinster, we produced Mushy but no way will we be called Munster we are winners and are about to hand CUS a hiding

Not unless you are fielding 17 players

May the best team win on the day. I have a lot of family (Who I will now proceed to slag the ar$e off) that went to Newbridge.

Ah Yeah, hopefully the game of rugby is a winner and the best team win! Ah B**lox to that "You will never cross the bridge"
Well a least there are few decent family members in the clan

JCT semi final on 20 March
Vinney Murray final on 23 March

In my day the rugby season in Newbridge ended in the first week in February!

Clongowes are unreal. Their pack have handling skills that half the senior forwards in Ireland don't have. Outhalf is a lovely runner of the ball. They're going to absolutely trounce Roscrea here. These finals rarely see large gaps at the end but this is going to be a tonking. 14-0 after 14 minutes.
