After much anticipation and preparation, the 48 strong Boyne RFC U12 touring party met at Dublin airport on Thursday January 7th at 3.30pm to catch our flight to Cardiff. The energy levels were sky high as players, parents and coaches checked in for our first trip abroad together. As we congregated at our departure gate, the U12’s eagerly looked out for their rugby heroes. Leo Cullen was the first to round the corner followed shortly by the entire Leinster squad.

Boyne RFC U12's Left Shamrock Lodge at 8am on a snowy wet day on the 22nd of March To Tullamore for the Tullamore U12's Rugby Festival. It was a cold day down there but the sun shone for all the games, with just one snow shower. Both Boyne teams played exceptionally well and represented their club to the highest standard.

U12s get the better of Dundalk in the Lodge

Boyne U12s hosted Dundalk RFC last Sunday on a cold but dry morning at Shamrock Lodge. The teams began arriving at 10.30am for an 11.00am kick-off.

Again we had a very large turnout for this Metro Fixture and we made up two squads with 17 players in each squad. Thankfully Dundalk travelled with about 25 players so the coaches agreed to play 12-a-side rather than the normal 10-a-side recommended for this agegroup. Each team played two twenty minute matches, with the replacements rolling on and off constantly.

Boyne U12s played on the new all weather pitch in Shamrock Lodge last Sunday morning, when St Mary’s RFC travelled up to Drogheda for a Metro League fixture with an 11am kick-off.

The Boyne U12s showed up in good numbers yet again so we made up two equal squads with 16 players in each squad. Similar to last week St Mary’s agreed to play 12-a-side rather than the normal 10-a-side, so we had less lads standing on the side-line waiting to be rolled in and out of the matches, something that often upsets the cohesion of the team.

U12s vs Ashbourne & Balbriggan

Boyne U12s had an early start last Sunday morning, when Ashbourne & Balbriggan made the relatively short trip to Shamrock Lodge for a 10.30am kick-off.

Again we had a very large turnout for these North East Fixtures and we made up two squads with 17 players in each squad. Thankfully both Ashbourne & Balbriggan agreed to play 12-a-side rather than the normal 10-a-side, so we had less lads standing on the side-line waiting to be rolled in and out of the matches, something that often upsets the cohesion of the team.

Boyne U12s season is well underway now having played 5 fixtures already this season.

Our large squad of over 40 players seem very keen to improve this season showing up in great numbers for training twice a week (Wednesday & Saturday) and matches every 2nd Sunday. New squad members are starting to make an impression with the likes of Gerard, Cathal O’M, Tom and Tanner blending into the squad seamlessly.
