230+ teams in action this week. The majority of games have been played at this stage of the competitive week although a number of games will be played on Sunday the 9th of November in the Womens AIL Div 2 North, Ulster Womens SNR League, and Ulster womens Qualifying league.
Having attended in the morning the Clogher Valley U14s & U18s v Cavan youth games followed by Rainey 3s v Portadown 2s and Rainey 4s v Clogher 3s we will have shots to follow and InTouch TVV vids and interviews.
Taking a look through the results is once again a feast of club and school rugby competition with the MMW JNR Cup, K League 4, UBL, JNR Leagues x by 6, Minor Leagues x 4, youth games from U18, U16, U14 teams and schools rugby between a few names you will be familiar with! Letterkenny put 57 unanswered points on YM, Portadown 2s put 43 points against Rainey 3s 15, while Ballymoney 3s scored 31 unanswered points against Ballyclare 3s but Ballyclare 4s scored 48 points against Grosvenor 3s 7 points. The Millar McCall Wylie JNR cup quarter finals saw Ballyclare, Enniskillen, Omagh and Instonians progress at the expense of Ballymena 2s, Bangor, Harlequins and Hinch 2s. Armagh 3s put 40 on Ballymena 5s 20 and at Armoys Lime Park there were 85 points scored between Armoy 1s and Larne 3 but only 3 points separated the teams at the end with Larne on 44 points! Rainey 4s put 30 points on Clogher 3s 15 points. While in the UBL Dungannon 1s beat UCC by 17 points to 16 and showed that the rugby knowledge and the players and members of Dungannon Rugby Club will be taking on whats in front of them as they have done for 130+ years.
Frankly an incredible number of teams in action in Irelands largest province.
Ulster Grassroots rugby combines quantity in numbers with quality coaching and committed players in an atmosphere where the dogged determination of players is legendary, these players concentrate on the moment to moment objective executing the required objective with ever increasing certainty of purpose, speed and excitement. When they score they are right back across to their half assuming positions their kicker converts and they commence the game again, its incredible to watch!
