Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
Well you can blame the budget for that one as some schools are reluctant to let supporters go now they cannot cover their classes. A lot depends on the school... at the Wesley Gerards game there were approx 300-400 supporters.
Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
The First round draw is complete after todays results
Terenure V Belvo - Terenure win
Pres Bray V Kilkenny College - Pres Bray win
Roscrea V Newbridge - close game but Roscrea might shade it
St Andrews V Blackrock - Rock by 50
CBC V St Michaels - Should be Michaels. CBC will find it hard to come back after losing the league final to Pres
Clongowes V Wesley - Clongowes by 60+ points
St Mary's V Castleknock - St Mary's
CUS V Gonzaga - I'm going for Gonzaga but it will be the tightest game of the round
It will probable end up with Pres V Rock in 1 semi and Clongowes V Mary's in the other with Clongowes beating Rock to retain the cup
Terenure V Belvo - Terenure win
Pres Bray V Kilkenny College - Pres Bray win
Roscrea V Newbridge - close game but Roscrea might shade it
St Andrews V Blackrock - Rock by 50
CBC V St Michaels - Should be Michaels. CBC will find it hard to come back after losing the league final to Pres
Clongowes V Wesley - Clongowes by 60+ points
St Mary's V Castleknock - St Mary's
CUS V Gonzaga - I'm going for Gonzaga but it will be the tightest game of the round
It will probable end up with Pres V Rock in 1 semi and Clongowes V Mary's in the other with Clongowes beating Rock to retain the cup

Rock 67 - 0 Andrews
Nure 17 - 13 Belvo
Rock 67 - 0 Andrews
Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
2 out of 2 for me and I'm pretty confident with my other 6 predictions. I should have hit the bookiesRoscoBosco wrote:2 results so far:

I was at the Nure belvo game. Nure scored with the last play of the game to win after Belvo led from very early on. It was harsh but they probably deserved to shade it. They will have no chance against Pres Bray without a massive improvement (assuming Pres get by Kilkenny - which might be trickier than they expext).
Any idea about when the other games are resheduled for?
Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
terenure will lose to pres bray? are you joking? belvo are clearly better than bray. rock nure semi final should make for good game

An upset - Kilkenny College 15 Pres Bray 14!!
I hope they will be able to give Terenure a game in the next round.

I have no affiliation with CUS but it is very hard not to get dragged along by the support on this sit of such an under dog. Come on Cut Up Sausages!! Not at cricket though, you feckers have won your fair share of that!

Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
Pres were league champions and would have been expected to beat kilkenny easily. From what i read, were 10 points up in injury time and conceded 2 tries in a minute. You can't factor in freak events like that. I was at the Nure-Belvo game and at the league final and Pres would more than likely have beaten Terenure. I don't knoe what Kilkenny are like, but they may give them a shock too. All my other predictions hold through though.

Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
My quater final predictions:
Rock vs Newbridge = Rock (Will be closer than you think)
Nure vs Kilkenny = Nure (Should be close also)
Michaels vs Clongowes = Clongowes (Comfortably)
C.U.S vs Marys = Marys (Could be wrong with this one)
Rock vs Newbridge = Rock (Will be closer than you think)
Nure vs Kilkenny = Nure (Should be close also)
Michaels vs Clongowes = Clongowes (Comfortably)
C.U.S vs Marys = Marys (Could be wrong with this one)

Re: Junior Cup 2008/2009
CUS will beat Mar's. Mary's had nothing to offer against 'knock. Two knock-ons for the first try. Castleknock denied a perfectly good try and MANY other good try scoring opportunities by a disasterous ref. The Mary's supporters ended up chanting "The referees from Mary's" and how right they were. Mary's pack were overwhelmed by Castleknock and Mary's backs were pacy but ran accross the pitch all day with no one straightening the line. Castleknock really were robbed.
