Results have been coming in across the week with 282+ teams taking to the field mostly on the busy Saturday in the province of Ulster!
On Saturday morning we went to Cavan RFC where they entertained City Of Derry U16s and U18s. The games were played simultaneously and both games were solid games! In the afternoon we made the trip over to Monaghan for a great game v league leaders BHSFP, High School were missing a few players, but Monaghan stuck to their task with an energetic solid performance that was actually a celebration of the basics performed well at scrum and defensive / lineout, 3 great games all day!
On Sunday afternoon we went to a very very professional game of rugby held between Cavan and Ballyshannon at the Erne Centre sports facility 3 g surface on the outskirts of Ballyshannon at the bottom of Lough Erne. An exceptional part of the world the 3g surface has seen many a game of rugby over the years and the rugby stalwarts were there to watch and support a number of them have been in the game for 30 maybe 40 years or more. As for the game itself the athletes have been busy at implementing their knowledge with good set pieces, passing, drift defence, forwards packs were more than important today as this was a very close fought game.
