The Great Big AIL and Junior rugby thread
Now that rugby's oldest bridesmaid has finally got hitched, she can cast a haughty glance towards Leinster, her high-living sister from Dublin, who, despite her immense beauty and vast potential, has trouble getting lucky.

Nah i think wicklow will win Div2 next year if they dont loose any of there current squad. They seem to have the right blend of youth and experience at the momentMalahide Mullet wrote:

Haven't Enniscorthy win promotion to Division 1....
Div 1.
What a division, Skerries, Naas, Monkstown, Navan, Seapoint and Kilkenny. Not to mention Boyne and Portlaoise. Winners will be I think Naas, this is their final year at senior and like Monkstown this year will be putting in considerable effort to get back to the AIL and retain senior status
Div 2.
Expect Roscrea to bounce back as winners..
Div 3.
MM, predicted big things from you guys last year, what happened? Have you added some new players for next year. Think it will be a forward orientated club that wins this either Tullow or Clane..

This is going to be such a difficult division to call. Very difficult.groundhog wrote: Div 1.

Early doors, I'm tipping Tullamore to go one place higher next season. That is provided they hold on to all of their current players.
Think Boyne as usual will promise much but flatter to deceive.
It’ll be interesting to see how Monkstown react to missing out. Could see a similar season to Seapoint’s just gone. Is Jim Lowry still there next season?
Don’t think Skerries will be in the playoff shakeup, that’s generally the case with demoted teams. They won’t buck that trend.
Surprised you’re tipping Naas. Are they planning on importing a pack of forwards?
Think it will be a very long season for the Gardai, Cill Dara, Mullingar and the two promoted clubs. Kilkenny (now a spent force IMHO) will also be involved with those clubs in the relegation dogfight. Could be very similar to last season with one club slipping through the trapdoor just at the end.
Why don't you knock it off with the negative waves Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here. Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

We are bringing in a few players alright. It was a bit of a culture shock that got us. For some sides it's a glorified fight!! But pre season starts next tuesday!!!! So a big push

Division 3 is a horrible division, teams can get dragged down to poor level and it then becomes a dog fight. You'll always have 4 to 6 sides you would be in contention and the rest are generally poor sides who will cheat and fight all day. Maximise your home games and just concentrate on winning the away games, winning ugly is what you have to do. Will be interesting to see how you get on as Dublin clubs tend to be seen as a soft touch away from Dublin..

Leinster League 2006-07 Predictions
Division 1 Winners wide open but will back Monkstown to do it again purely because there are no other outstanding candidates. Will be a long season for The Garda, Cill Dara and Enniscorthy.
Division 2 Winners Wicklow. With Roscrea, Coolmine, Edenderry now that they have secured the services of Johan Taylor along with Newbridge to contest the second spot. Railway and Athy to go down.
Division 3 Tullow to win with Clane 2nd I think Longford could be a real dark horse if they can win some games on the road Neal Culliton is a quality coach.

Enter the Dragon
Club: Trinity (though moving abroad this year).
They'll prob play Div 2 unless they win appeal and Galwegians get relegated. Would be surprised if bounce straight back up...some quality young players, but it will be a rebuilding year with the majority of old guard moved on...But with the success of under 20s in recent seasons a quality side could be produced within a season or two. Problem may continue to be holding onto graduates.
Predict finish between 5th and 10th in Div 2 with promotion the following season [assuming they go down]. If the side stays in Div 1 it will be an extremely difficult year. Could see some success at J1 level.
