Re: Towns Cup
Good luck to Enniscorthy & Tullow on Sunday, should be one hard game which I expect 'Scorthy to come out on top!
Re: Towns Cup
Some schlock in Cup today. Longford beating Enniscorthy, Wicklow beating Newbridge and Gorey going very close to beating Cill Dara. Tullamore looking like favourites at this stage!

Re: Towns Cup
The Longford V Scorthy match was a brilliant advertisement for cup rugby with both teams going at it hammer and tongs. The visitors Lineout was destroyed and this hurt their ability to retain possession. Al in all Longford deserved the win and probably "wanted" it that much more given the tragic loss of Banno during the week.Armchair wrote:Some schlock in Cup today.

Re: Towns Cup
Second round draw below, Naas v Dundalk should be a good tie, as will Wicklow v Tullow, could be an open cup this year, no real team of the calibre of Tullamore this year..........
Co Carlow v Newbridge or New Ross
• Rathdrum v Tullamore
• Wicklow v Tullow
• Portlaoise v Enniscorthy
• Roscrea or Cill Dara v Midland Warriors
• Dundalk v Naas
• Ashbourne v Gorey
• Kilkenny v Arklow or Clondalkin
These matches will be played on Sunday the 16th of February at 3.00pm. All first named teams are at home except in the Roscrea or Cill v Midland Warriors tie; if Roscrea beat Cill Dara in the rearranged 1st round fixture in Roscrea next Saturday Midland Warriors will be at home but if Cill Dara win then Cill Dara will be at home.
Rearranged 1st round games on Saturday next 1st February at 3:00 pm:
• Roscrea v Cill Dara
• Newbridge v New Ross (venue to be decided later)
• Arklow v Clondalkin

Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

Re: Towns Cup
Yeah Ashbourne will be very strong, pity the game is not in Gorey as they would stand more of a chance down there!

Re: Towns Cup
Tasty games and big pressure on Ashbourne with Round Robin also.
Re: Towns Cup
Yeah certainly couple of tasty games, Ashbourne the favourites but with the round robin will their focus be elsewhere, Wicklow v Enniscorthy final like 2 years ago maybe!

Re: Towns Cup
Yeah, it's fairly incredible what they do considering they have no huge population base near unlike say Naas, Boyne or Dundalk. Then again, there isn't the same competition for bodies from Football given that it's Carlow!Dave Cahill wrote:u16s won the All Ireland and the u15s won Division 1 - theres good depth coming through in Blackgatesthe spoofer wrote:Well done to Scorthy but it is some achievement for Tullow to get to both 1sts and 2nds towns cup finals.
