5?
SOB, Dave Heffernan and Denis Buckley are the only "Connacht lads", who didn't play for Leinster underage teams that are at Connacht.
I just meant Connacht born, so Brennan and McKeon. To be honest I assumed McKeon was from Galway because he's Eoin's cousin, which is obviously not correct.
Roscrea school is partly in Leinster and partly in Munster. (Roscrea town is wholly in Munster) Athlone is partly in Leinster and partly in Connacht. We could have a great hair splitting argument.

Will all be moot if it goes belly-up.
Has Roscrea always been in the Leinster school's cup? We used to play them every year when I was in school. I think they played a lot of their outside cup games against Munster teams then.
They were in the Leinster cup. We were in the Munster cup but often had quite a lot of guys from Leinster: possibly more than Roscrea. Totally messing with your stats

None of Athlone is in Connacht. It is entirely in Westmeath

See. I told you we could have a hair splitting argument.
I am aware that they brought some of the "west bank" of the Shannon into Leinster over 100 years ago, but there are still people who have the address Athlone co Roscommon.

True, its splitting hairs over where a place is and where it isn't.
Postal districts and Counties are not the same thing btw
Most Roscrea students would be from Munster, albeit with a sizeable contingent from the midlands (Leinster/Connacht).
