I'd normally shout for Mary's in the AIL, don't get to many games though and wasn't around for the weekend!
Pity, problem of the age of professional rugby. Something had to give, the AIL has unfortunately lost so much of its appeal and fans base, particularly in Dublin!

You're right - It is a pity. I suppose sometimes it's hard to support your club when the guys that have been playing in the club since they were 6 leave after u20's to greener fields and every year there are new faces on the senior teams etc... personnally I love club rugby .. but, yeah, I can see how it could suffer.
My Club is actually Tullamore. I still get to a few of their games each year. I live in Dublin tho. A few years ago you could go upto Lakelands or Templeville Road on a Sat afternoon, and watch a decent game as a neutral. Nowadays, its difficult enough to find out when games are on never mind find a decent game to watch! All the big Dublin Clubs really have unfortunately suffered from the success of Leinster.
