I see what you did there
As you know, the same could be said of every school. At JCT level, only Michael’s have beaten them in a final since the turn of this century. Since 2000 it’s 5 finals to 1 to Rock. At least we are making the finals. Michael’s and Rock have doninated the last 20 making 11 & 14 respectively.
At SCT, in the last 50 years, Rock have won 16 and lost 7 finals. Only 4 schools have beaten them in that period and just Terenure (3 times) & Belvo (twice) have beaten them more than once in that period, with Belvo (twice) & Nure (once) the only ones to do it this century. Having similar pupil numbers has a lot to do with that. Newbridge & De La Salle were the only others to manage it over the 50 years. Michael’s have lost two finals against them.
So Michael’s are doing ok and have actually won 3 out of the last 4 fixtures against Rock in the last 3 seasons.
…oh, did I take the bait?!
