Leinster Juniors 2011

[PassorKick]

Has the Leinster Junior squad for 2011 been picked/announced yet?
If so, can you post it?

[David Reid]

Heard the squad has been cut but no indication as of yet who is involved I think the Leinster juniors at underrated in either 9 or 12 interpros will be interesting to see how it goes this year espc with a couple of Leinster junior team goin into the ail over the past couple if years

[groundhog]

They had their final trial last night against Greystones, won comfortably. They haven't lost a game since May 2007 and are unbeaten in 11. However those sides were backboned by Navan, Seapoint, CIll Dara, Tullamore and Boyne, the former 2 are gone senior, the middle two have regressed considerably so if they do win 4 titles in a row this year it will be a signifigant achievement. First game is against Munster Friday 29th under lights down in Charleville.

Groundhog - do you know who was playing last night against Greystones?

[David Reid]

Fom reading the munster forum the score in the greystones match was 40 plus to 5 points then again as greystones season is finished it could have been a crowd of young fellas they were playing

[PassorKick]

Still no word on the squad?!?!?
First game is on the 29th April against Munster?

Preview from http://www.knockon.ie/?p=6184:

Leinster v Ulster, Coolmine, 2:30

Both these sides have a shot if Connacht slip up although Ulster’s poor points difference leaves them needing a bonus point win to stand a chance. They sit in third on five points four behind the westerners and one back from Leinster.

For the home side the task is only slightly more straight forward, a win without a bonus point will be enough to take a fifth title on the bounce if Connacht lose by more than eight. Otherwise they’ll need a win and a bonus.

All that aside, this is about redemption for both sides, Ulster were overwhelmed by Connacht in round one but bounced back well against Munster in Limavady and could take an awful lot from the campaign if they were to finish with two wins.

Leinster were really exposed in the first half against Connacht and while the second half revival made a real contest of it they were left with too much to do and can’t have much complaints. It was a blow and they will want to make amends here, we think they will.
