Boyne U13s turned on the style yesterday in a stirring victory over Dundalk running in six tries to win 32 10 to reach the semi final of the cup. Foundation for the victory was laid by the pack who must have given away at least 3 kilos per man to their Dundalk rivals. The tight five completely out scrummaged their heavier opponents winning two strikes against the head with good body position and rapid leg pumping. Robert Morgan and Liam Strachan played the entire game and never looked in difficulty.

The 2009/2010 Leinster Youth Cup draws were made on Tuesday 26th January and are after pitting Boyne against local neigbours Dundalk, Navan & Skerries in the Under 19's, Under 15's and Under 14's respectively. The Under 17's travel away to Birr, with a 2nd round tie against Navan awaiting the winner and the Under 13's must travel to North Kildare. The complete draws for each team are attached.
The Under 19's and Under 17's start their campaign on February 13th, with the Under 15's and Under 13's starting the following week, February 20th. Due to the small number of clubs playing at Under 14's that competition does not start until March 20th.

Boyne put in a gutsy performance today but went down 39 5 to a huge Clontarf outfit. By common consent this was the biggest and best team Boyne have faced all year. A welcome return today from injury was Cormac Jones who scored Boyne's only try. Tadhg Kavanagh was tigerish in the loose and good running by the backs was unfortunate not to have yielded more tries.

A spirited Boyne side went down to Terenure 2 unconverted tries to nil at Drogheda Grammar School today. The team was very unlucky not to have pegged Terenure back in the last ten minutes when considerable pressure did not yield a try. Aggressive running from Cillian McDonald was often the catalyst for Boyne's attacks in the second half. It was noticeable that Boyne's defence has become meaner since the beginning of the season. Next week Boyne face Clontarf away in another Metro fixture.
