Balbriggan under 8's festival

Sun, 01/24/2010 - 19:36 — Sean Rochford

An excellent turn out at the Balbriggan festival thanks to everyone who turned up.

Boyne under 8's had 2 teams, the Lions led the by Milo Newton and the Tigers led by Karl Martin.

The Lions played 3 extremely competitive games and were very unlucky not to win despite there fantastic defence and brilliant forward running. Space was attacked well, great effort all round.
The Tigers were triumphant in all 4 of their games, with an excellent defence and brilliant driving and rucking. The passing was clean, crisp and well performed.

Boyne v North Meath

Sat, 11/07/2009 - 15:16 — Sean Rochford

Despite it being a bitterly cold morning at the Grammer School, when the boys from the Boyne Rugby Club turned out in great numbers to take on Under 8's from North Meath. The Lions took to the field first, led by Harry O'Neill, team Captain for the day. Both sides played very good attacking rugby, with plenty of solid defence on display. Boyne triumphed by four tries to nil in the first game. Karl Martin scored two of the four tries with Harry O'Neill and Milo Newton scoring the others.

Under 8's v Dundalk

Mon, 10/12/2009 - 21:09 — Mick Delaney

As the wind whistled around the locked gates of Drogheda Grammar school, you could cut the tension with a knife, as the Boyne under 8's awaited the arrival of Dundalk.
As the mist lifted from the pitch the Dundalk lads were met with awesome sight of the Boyne boys in green emerging from the haze.
The Boyne boys led by Kieran Grima dominated Dundalk as their passing and movement into space was second to none, Karl Martin took a long pass and left the defence standing as he scored the first try.

Boyne U8's Reach Final in Armagh

Mon, 04/06/2009 - 09:06 — Marc Lynch

Boyne U8 finished their season in great style reaching the U8 final against Armagh in the Armagh Festival of Rugby held last Saturday.
There were 12 teams competing from Dundalk, Suttonians, Virginia, Mullingar, and Armagh (2) Navan (2) Coolmine (2) Boyne (2). It was a fantastic result for Boyne to make it to the final and they were very unlucky to loose this one as they had scored two great tries by Todd Lynch and Johnny Woods to leave it all square with a much bigger Armagh side at the end of full time. The amount of tackles and courage of these young guns would lead the spectators into thinking that they were far more advanced in years.

U-8's v Ratoath (28th. March)

Mon, 03/30/2009 - 17:21 — Marc Lynch

Boyne U8 continued their winning ways when they hosted Ratoath on Sunday last. Boyne had a squad of 27, Ratoath travelled with 12 players and Boyne used the occasion to use new and younger players in the game. Boyne outscored the visitors scoring some great tries and conceded only 1 try. Team – Oisin Callaghan, Desmond Dunne, Sam Heraty, Charlie Kelly, Leo Kieran, Briain Leonard, Karl Martin, Killian Twomey, Ethan Voss, Euan Woodlock, PJ Woods, and Rory Woods

Boyne U8's continue in the winning vein with four wins against metro team Suttonians

Sun, 03/22/2009 - 20:05 — Marc Lynch

Boyne U8 followed on from their great win in Coolmine when they hosted Suttonians on Sunday last. A squad of 26 took the field and on a fantastic morning the very large crowd were entertained by some very fine tackling from the young guns on both sides. Boyne outscored the visitors scoring some great tries and won all four matches. The experience should help when the squad head north for the Armagh Blitz on Sat week April 4th.
