Barnhall 16 - 17 Boyne U-19's (Leinster Cup q/f)

Game Comments:
Fresh from their recent victory in the Leinster League final, Boyne U19s travelled to Barnhall RFC for the QF of the Leinster Cup, last Saturday.

Boyne were very slow to start, which probably was a result of a hangover from their recent exploits.
It was the Home side who seized the initiative from the off, showing scant respect for the League Champions.

Boyne u-19's 19 - 7 Navan (Leinster League Final)

The elite of Leinster youth rugby was on show in this under 19’s league final at Ashbourne on Sunday last when Boyne faced Navan in a pulsating encounter. This was the end of a long campaign for the two sides and in an all North East final, the Boyne side shaded it with a fine second half performance that saw them cross for the all important try that sealed the game for them.Victorious 19sThere can be no doubting the great traditions that both of these clubs espouse in Irish youth rugby and this was evident in both sides commitment and skill which was displayed before a very large crowd who enjoyed a thrilling game of rugby.
These teams had met twice previously at this level and it was all square, with each having a victory over the other in competitive fare. This Boyne team have been together since their mini days and have been coached by Paddy McCleery, Ger De Loughrey and Leo Monahan since then. They have been at the penultimate and ultimate stage of success over the years but, the big prize always eluded them.

Boyne 19's 34 - 12 Enniscorthy (Leinster League 1/4 Final)

Boyne U19s hosted Enniscorthy RFC in the QF of the Leinster League, last Saturday in front of a good attendance on a very wet miserable day.
The Match Official carried out a pitch inspection just before kick off and the ground was passed barely playable following heavy overnight rain.
Given the very soft underfoot conditions it meant that running rugby was always going to be difficult and it was going to be day for the Forwards to perform.

Navan 25 - 13 Boyne 19's

Boyne U19s visited neighbours and great rivals Navan RFC & suffered their 2nd consecutive reverse in their final match of the Leinster League programme.
