These guys eat breath and sleep their game and the scorelines have not reflected the skill of their sides. An excellent game on Saturday and we managed to get 123 pictures + InTouch TV highlights + interview with coach Brian Hannah – ITS SO CLOSE, they will be saying to themselves we are palying very […]
This was a good game with plenty of movement to keep the attention of the spectators. Bruff surprised Dungannon with an at times expansive game and their enterprise in the third quarter tuned a ten point deficit into a two point lead. Fortunately Dungannon kept their heads and ran in two unanswered tries giving them […]
We arrived at Lurgan RFc for two games, the Medallion encounter between Lurgan College & Foyle (highlights to follow) and this game between Lurgan College II xV & Dalriada II XV – it was a thriller! End to end rugby. The coach was delighted at the Dalriada performance and this band of brothers roll on […]

The match was a hard fought match with no quarter given and with nothing in it at the start. High School took the lead after a period of pressure Grosvenor conceded a penalty […]
Enniskillen disappointingly lost their first home Towns Cup fixture for two years to a very well organised and disciplined side from Dungannon. The opportunities were few and far between in what was a tight affair with defences on top throughout and only a momentary lapse from ‘Skins allowed the decisive score. Only a Dungannon penalty […]
