Boyne U13’s B travelled to Malahide early on Sunday morning buoyant after the great game against North Meath the previous week. Unfortunately Malahide only arrived with 10 players and luckily Boyne travel with 22. Five Boyne players played for Malahide in the first have and put in a great shift for the host team. With Todd scoring against his own club! Two additional Malahide players arrived at half time and this gave the coaches some room to make positional changes. The second half produced some great running rugby by both teams with the Boyne players on both teams to the fore.
Boyne U13’s A followed up their hard fought 12-5 win against Newbridge last week with a win away to Clane in the first round of the Leinster Club. The game finished with a scoreline of 24-10 but it could and should have been more. Great tries from Danial Mol, Cian F, Colm P and Ethan V and two conversions from James F sealed the victory on a cold but dry February morning. The first half proved to be a bit of an arm-wrestle with neither side getting the upper hand, with the ball being played amongst the forwards.
Boyne U13’s got back to winning ways on Saturday with a hard fought four try win away against Birr. This was the first game of 2013 and with only one good training sessions under their belt since Christmas the coaches expected some rustiness. This however did not materialise and the boys got straight into the game from the kickoff. Boyne, playing against the wind scored the only try in the first half after some good quick ruck ball provided by the forwards before the ball went through all hands before it reached the flying winger Philip Kirk to score in the corner.
Boyne welcomed Birr to Shamrock Lodge on Saturday 1st December. Conditions were perfect for rugby. This was the team’s first home game in the Leinster League having played the last two games away to Newbridge (24-12) and away to Enniscorthy (5-5) last week.
Navan came away with the spoils but only just. Navan kicked off and torn into Boyne from the getgo and it took the Boyne lads some time to get into the game. Navan were determined to spread the ball wide at every opportunity and scored two nice tries before the break. However, this game really only kicked into life in the second half with Boyne down 10 to 0, and now playing with 15 (Thanks to Glen M's brother Karl for standing in).
Boyne A travelled to Newbridge Collage on Saturday 17th November to play their first game in the Leinster League Division 1 competition.
Boyne U13's A travelled to Ashbourne last Tuesday evening to fullfil the previously postponded North East League fixture. This was the first time the boys played a game under lights and they were eager to impress. Boyne played with the wind in the first half and it looked like Boyne were not going to be rewarded with a score before half time after camping themselves in the Ashbourne half for the entire half but a score from Cian Fitzpatrick and conversion by James Farrell ensured that the boys went 7-0 into thye second half.
