Boyne has had 6 players selected for the initial training panel for the North East Development squad. This is very much a preliminary squad and players will be added and removed over the coming season as form and ability dictate.
Congrationlations and best wishes to Ciaron Clinton, Danny Grimes, Ruairi Hickey, Oisin Howell, John McDonnell and Conor Smyth.

Boyne under 16’s hosted UK team touring team Stratford Upon Avon RFC at the Lodge on Saturday and came away with an impressive win. After a evenly balanced fifteen minutes Danny Grimes intercepted a Stratford back line pass and won a sprint to the line to score Boyne’s first try. Stratford responded with their first try of the game before Michael Hennessy scored Boyne’s second try and Karl Keogh added a penalty to brings Boyne’s points tally to 17 – 5 by half time.

A tough encounter in the first round of the Leinster Cup saw Boyne come through with a well eared 15 to 7 victory against Edenderry in Bryanstown on Saturday.

In windy conditions which were to Boyne’s advantage in the first half saw most of the possession in Edenderry territory. It was twenty Minutes before David Levin’s playing at out half created the opening for the Boyne backs to create their fist try. Cormac Brodigan playing at full back broke through the Edenderry defence to place the ball over the line and the conversion by Karl Keogh ensured a seven point lead.

Boyne traveled to Dundalk for a friendly match on Saturday and provided an excellent display of solid team rugby.
This match was an opportunity to integrate several members of Boyne’s successful under fifteen team into the 16 squad and boost their chances of progressing in their Leinster league challenge.
The Dundalk squad who have already reached the semi final stage of the Leinster league were very well drilled and made several breaks early in the game but failed to break the Boyne defense.
