Re: Towns Cup
It's a pity that you are correct. Wicklows experience told and they took nearly all their chances whereas we were unable to take ours. Earls is a lovely player at 10.flustered wrote:Another SE Towns Cup Final on the cards?
Re: Towns Cup
Yes Wicklow did take their chances alright, thought Longford could have made better use of the strong wind in the first half. Earls is a fine player and crucial to the Wicklow team.
Hard to look past Enniscorthy in the final really

Re: Towns Cup
how'd nicholson get on at 7?
Re: Towns Cup
He was good, won a few balls at ruck time and tackled well, carried well when he had to. He has been playing well at 7 (or 6) this season, not much time in his best position though!

Re: Towns Cup
Longford had the wind in the second but you're right, they made little use of it. Earls is so experienced and we missed a bit of that with a very young backline with an average age of about 22! I remember Nicholson from the 18's cup last year, he played 2 if I'm not mistaken.flustered wrote:Yes Wicklow did take their chances alright, thought Longford could have made better use of the strong wind in the first half.

Re: Towns Cup
Got my half's mixed up! Yeah Nicholson was 2 in the 18's cup last year, he is a natural hooker (Irish Youths last year)

Re: Towns Cup
Assume he will be in the mix for Leinster 20's this summer. Lots of competition at hooker.

Re: Towns Cup
That was a good Wicklow Under 18's team last year with Noonan, Nicholson, the big number 8 (Luke something) and Paddy McKenzie.flustered wrote:Got my half's mixed up! Yeah Nicholson was 2 in the 18's cup last year, he is a natural hooker (Irish Youths last year)

Re: Towns Cup
be interesting to see if he makes 20's squad, several candidates at hooker - Nicholson, Thomspon, Baxter, Sheehan.
Re: Towns Cup
Luke wouldn't be that tall (too small for backrow hence the move to hooker..) going well at Landsdowne from what I hear, McKenzie still rehabbing ACL! Noonan doing well in Wesley as well. could be a toss up between Nicholson and Thompson for a place..

Re: Towns Cup
I'd take Nicholson in a heart beat. He was really good over the ball aswell.flustered wrote:Luke wouldn't be that tall (too small for backrow hence the move to hooker..) going well at Landsdowne from what I hear, McKenzie still rehabbing ACL!

Re: Towns Cup
You'd expect Nicholson would make leinster 20s given he was 1st choice for 19s last September.the spoofer wrote:I'd take Nicholson in a heart beat.
