Re: AIB Leagues
Lansdowne struggling this season at their new home. 'Stones look doomed at the bottom. 'Tarf are looking the most likely to break the Munster domination at the top of the table. Shannon vs. Cork Con should be some match next time out - the winner of that will take control at the top of the table.

Re: AIB Leagues
The sooner these leagues get restructured the better, Naas had bigger crowds at their Leinster League games last year, in fact there was a bigger crowd at the Cill Dara v Navan game than the Ternure v OB AIL game...

Re: AIB Leagues
Well down here in the Gulag Cork Con are looking pretty good. About half the team, at least, is made up up of ex-UCC players.
In Division 2 UCC are unbeaten & they must have a pretty good chance of going up. Maybe then the drain of their best players to Cork Con will cease.
Overall I hope 'Tarf break the Munster Stranglehold, Stillorgan Tech stay up & Trinners & UCC are promoted.

Re: AIB Leagues
Fair play to Rock, Cork Con stuffed them last year so beating them yesterday must have been sweet.
Needless to say The Natives down here won't be happy...............

Re: AIB Leagues
I weent to UCC V Shannon yesterday, arrived @ 2.25, with the game well in progress. Kick-off was at two, apparently the same happened at Stradbrook.
Why the earlier kick-off time? Why wasn't it widely publicized?

The 2pm kick offs were to allow for extra time if it was required. Everything I saw noted the 2 o'clock kickoffs!

Re: AIB Leagues
There are a number of games at 2.30 next Saturday competing directly with Leinster V Toulouse.
Why not play these on Friday evening where both teams are local, Saturday evening or Sunday?

With the notable exception of RTE/GAA. On Aertel all matches were shown as starting at 2:30.the general wrote:The 2pm kick offs were to allow for extra time if it was required. Everything I saw noted the 2 o'clock kickoffs!
Deliberate misinformation or just carelessness ? ?

Re: AIB Leagues
UCD are playing Clontarf on Saturday. Why not play this game under lights at the bowl after the Leinster match and put an advertisement for it in the programme for the Leinster match. Would be sure to draw a few extra puntersthe spoofer wrote:There are a number of games at 2.30 next Saturday competing directly with Leinster V Toulouse.

As far as I know, the times are set and released by the IRFU/AIL, because it's their competition.Psycho B wrote:Its probably the rugby clubs fault.

Re: AIB Leagues
Just back from The 'Dyke. UCC 18 Suttonians 13. Suttonians faded a bit in the second half. Game played in a monsoon, a good tough old-fashioned game of rugby.

Re: AIB Leagues
All the provinces do it. Thats a regular occurance in the world of the AIB league. Not sure what planet they are living on that they manage to schedule so many games to start more or less simultaneously. Lack of imagination perhaps?thecoolfreak wrote:UCD are playing Clontarf on Saturday.
