That's a phenomenally huge score for a final! Any reason why the gap was so large?

with due respect to wesley, if we didn't have them and other 'smaller' schools the competition would be a lot less exciting, so kudos to them for getting to a final, commiserations for the result.

Is not that unusual in a final where once a game get's beyond a winnable point the losing side will fold completely, end result it rarely an accurate reflecon of the actual strengths and weaknesses of the two sides.

Very important that schools like Wesley, DLS Churchtown & St Paul's, Raheny etc don't fall off Schools Rugby radar, as well as newerer schools breaking through of course (especially from outside the metropolitan areas...).
Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even. Muhammad Ali

normally wesley would be one of the better league teams. every few years they produce a team capable of doing well in the cup

To good for it now are zaga? A cups a cup, and I saw it was the same line up as against Marys in the cup so they obviousely did care about it.

yes -they almost did a number on a poor marys side - I don't think they ever recaptured the same form ever again
