Sub academy wing/fullback Michael Silvester's try at the weekend:

Silvo had a stormer and looks in great shape for Ireland u20s. Great team try started by the offload from Richard Dunne (7), great work by Paddy Finlay (2) and the whole pack piling in to create quick ball for James Fennelly's chip. With Jack Kelly back next week Trinity has a good chance against Cork Con at home. The young pack will be under pressure.
Now that Jamie has some time on his hands, he could come along to College Pak & support the boys.

Yeah, although not sure any club players will make the academy this summer..

Cormac Daly, JJ O'Dea or Sean O'Brien are the most likely to make it IMO.

Midlands defeated North East 31-12
South East defeated Dublin Metro 45-25

[flustered]

Luke might not take kindly to be classed as Wexford!

A bit surprising him and Barry Ryan not involved (especially as Ryan started ahead of Nicholson on a couple of occasions I think)
