Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
So Blackrock could piss further a few years ago, Michael's can piss furthest now and poor Terenure can't piss at all.
Fair play to Clongowes on being able to piss consistently.
Dan Leavy got my vote for young player btw #12countyarmy

Indeed. I couldn't give a flying where they come from as long as they keep coming.OTT wrote:So Blackrock could piss further a few years ago, Michael's can piss furthest now and poor Terenure can't piss at all.

Incidentally (I don't want to scare anyone on this) , but looking at the subs warming up last week i noticed, there's an alarming number of 'ginger haired' people coming through the academy. What's that about?
Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
Andrews have gone a very good pissing job considering their, eh... size. Porter, Larmour, Greg Jones (Ulster) and that u20 winger (O'Sullivan?). All very impressive atheletes, much of the kudos must go to their S%C.

Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
Which is a circuitous way of saying that you care deeply about Michael's because if they, or any source that provides 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 of the senior playing stock, stops producing them it will cause problems.LeinsterLeader wrote:I couldn't give a flying where they come from as long as they keep coming.
It is a freakish output. Not necessarily a good one, either for school or province, but for different reasons. For the school it is about balance. For Leinster it is about over reliance.

Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
Well lets put it this way, I think Michael's have gone a bit too far with their rugby culture and I didn't send my sons there partly because of that view.mildlyinterested wrote:ehhh right..

Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
In fairness St. Andrews clearly has the highest number of lads that were too big for hockey so they had to put them somewhere and therefore a Rugby pitch made sense and yet somehow they ended up as professionals.

James Ryan won this yesterday. Dan Leavy picked up players player of the year and supporters player of the year

Re: Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?
Hardly fair in Jordan Larmour's case as I think he played schools level hockey for Ireland also.neilinboston wrote:In fairness St. Andrews clearly has the highest number of lads that were too big for hockey so they had to put them somewhere and therefore a Rugby pitch made sense and yet somehow they ended up as professionals.
I do believe though that Hockey is at least as popular amongst the male students in Andrews as Rugby is, if not more so. I don't imagine the total number of boys playing rugby in the senior school would exceed 200 there.
