Pre season friendly. Ashbourne 77 - Mullingar 5. Both 1st teams. Ashbourne missing around seven 1st choice players (mostlt forwards). Mullingar missing a couple of starters but the team from last year no longer exists. Big gap between the two teams. Ashbourne backs run riot. Mullingar a lot to do to...

That all now till the new year isnt it ? Div 1B is really really tight. The possibility of three going down concentrates the mind and it could be any of the teams. Portlaoise look doomed despite not been a bad team. Why threee going down?? What is the promotion/relegation and play off structure thi...

Is the A team the 1st team and the B team the 2nd team?? or are they just mixed? Knowing a few players on the B team i would have thought they were very strong. Where does the Leinster schools U19s fit into all this. Are there now 3 Leisnter U19s teams?

Good luck to them out in maynooth. Hopefully Leinster will (in years to come) have another big club to challenge the Munster clubs. Apparently, not only do the lads on scholarships get money, they also get 50 points off their course requirement to get into the university. I wonder will they change t...

The term Leinster U18 "A" club is now used on the Leinster web site. What does this mean?? Does it mean that the 18s schools side is the true 18s team and the 18s club side is the "A" team? Because this is shite. Last season the Leinster 18s clubs played the leinster 18s schools ...

Leinster have announced two U19s teams. See below. There used to be a U19s schools and U19s clubs (for lads from the previous years U18s youths and those previous U18s schools who have LEFT school). However this second one changed last year when they started picking guys for the 19s clubs side who w...

CAN I ASK WE CEASE THIS SUBJECT AS THE SEASON IS NOW OVER. I HAVE STARTED A NEW ONE FOR NEXT YEAR.... U 19s !!!

There's some really important debate starting in the U18s string. I thought it might be better to get the ball rolling for next season here. let's keep the comments about the Leinster Youth squad to it's own section. To Start:- I read that there's a rule stating that a player who plays SCT in a sect...

Are Naas the only club in Kildare with Under 18's, surely Cill Dara, Newbridge, Clane, North Kildare, Athy have some decent 18s to contribute our are the selectors not looking outside the box and it's the same old story with leinster Armchair - there's actually a seperate string (subject) for the L...

Athboy got a walk over from Tallaght. Any news on Carlow v Kilkenny.

Predictions for the Culliton Cup 1st round: Tullamore to beat Ashbourne (tough to call) Athboy to beat Tallaght Mullingar to beat N.Kildare Barnhall to beat Dundalk (tough to call) Edenderry to beat Navan Boyne to beat Swords Longford to beat Birr Kilkenny to beat Carlow Enniscorthy to beat Wexford...

Any results from the semi-finals of the Premier League ?

Are the semi-finals being played on 28th?

Wicklow & Enniscorthy strong favourites to meet in the final. Mullingar & Tullamore will be found out when they have to play away from home. Neither team managed an away win but won every home game. (draw your own conclusions from that !!!) (home town refs ????). Dark horses will be Dundalk ...

U18s Premier. Boyne lost to Dundalk. Barnhall lost to Longford. North Kildare lost to Tullamore.

I take it you are talking about a 16s club squad not schools. I dot think there will be one. It'll be the same as last year, they just coached a squad in the summer and then they go back to play in the inter-area matches (Shane Horgan Cup) and await selection next year for leinster 18s.

I think the U18s squad is now as follows:- Burke 1; Sutherland 1; White 2, Sutton 2, Owens 2/3, Gilsenan 3, Downes 3, Kearney 4/5, McDermott 4/5, Cribbin 4/5, A.N.Other 4/5, Ryan 6, Murphy 7, Smith 6/8, O'Connor 7/8, Phelan 8, Roberts 9, Denvir 9, Holt 9, Croke 10, McDonnell 10/12, Lynch 12, McQuill...

Hey Malahide Mullet. Having read your comment I looked at the Malahide web site (not something I do regularly !!!) and you are correct, the offending articles on the Leinster Domestic Site are taken directly from the club site. So WHY. Is there a Malahide connection (if so, they should censor it a b...
