any idea where the follow players are gone?

Fionn Finlay
Jonathan Fish(UCD)
Sean O'Brien
Aaron Coleman(DUFC)
Ed Brennan
Jack Connolly(DUFC)
Ben Murphy
Matt Grogan(Old Belvo)

[Pilotman123]

Ex-Blackrock players Joseph McCarthy(Lock/U19), David Fitzgibbon(Outhalf/U20) and Gavin Jones(Centre/U20) all signed with DUFC.

Alex Soroka hasn’t joined any club yet but apparently he’s very likely to join DUFC aswell

thought he'd be a lock to go with Tarf.

Same, I think he should go Tarf but there’s seems to be a lot of Belvo lads this year playing for Trinity and OB instead of Tarf

Told Rob Gilsenan was a "difference maker" for UCD U20 last weekend on is return from injury.

[Pilotman123]

McKenzie has a strong chance at being the irish u20 Outhalf, he was the 1st choice irish schools Outhalf when u18. He played leinster A last week and scored a try on his debut after missing all of last season with a knee injury.. He is more than good enough.

Someone like Tarrant was looked at last season and considered not good enough. You may not like corkery but he was the 1st choice Outhalf for Leinster 19s and is obviously rated. Leonard is still very young and could easily force his way into sub-academy at a future date.

Great to see James Tarrant back in the sub academy playing for Leinster A as I thought he was good enough and he is good enough. I’d definitely rate him ahead of the other outhalves in the sub academy at the moment.
