Who is your Leinster Young Player of Year?

[OTT]

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.

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?

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.

It's a consequence of persecution.

"Ethnic minorities regularly turn to sport as a means to achieve a better life."

"Ethnic groups often turn to sport in unbearable social circumstances"

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.

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.

Is that obvious. Let’s just say I am a discerning one.

In the words of the great man himself. Trust me. Bigly

[mildlyinterested]

ehhh right..

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.

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

believe andrews have two players in Leinster underage squads - Stephen Keane and Zane Ombima-McClatchie

Hardly fair in Jordan Larmour's case as I think he played schools level hockey for Ireland also.

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.
