AIL FIXTURES

[Kofi Annan]

REdWhiteknight should you moto not be: disce aut discede

[RedWhiteKnight]

Maybe with him playing regular 1st 15 rugby from the start of the season might actually help his chances though because I'm sure he wouldn't have progressed much further playing for Gannon's 2's and benching for the 1's. Just a thought, maybe a wise decision?

I've heard very little about Malone, what chance do they stand on staying up in 1B?

Strange, you didn't seem to know much about Lawton earlier now you seem to know a fair bit about him Perhaps a daft thought but you don't happen to know him personally by any chance ?

Rooster I'm just going by what's already been discussed my others on the topic. He's been talked about before by Gannonman and Kofi who seem to know a lot more about him. If you read back a few months it's widely known he was playing 2's rugby at the start of the season. I really don't know anything about players reasons for joining certain clubs, but I am curious to find out why, if clubs say they are not paying players, people still assume its only for money? Take McIlroy for example, would he get paid from Ballymena or Ballynahinch now that he's moved? Even though he's in the Ulster set up? If not then what's made him jump ship?

rainey in - Steve McGinis from flyde, played with the old boys previously before going to england, making a return next season, Conor O'Neill from Queens, Michael Sargent from Instonians

Can imagine Lawton getting more 1st XV minutes at Hinch than Gannon with their back 3 all recognised by UR but not likely to play much in Ulster games until maybe the 6Ns.

I would also imagine that UR have a lot of the say in where the likes contracted players like McIlroy play their rugby

[dublane]

Interested to see where porter will play next year, potentially a return to Banbridge? Malone have approached many many players from other clubs this year, as have the hinch.

PS anyone who thinks that most clubs out there aren't paying players, are V naive.

[midulsterrugby]

If all those signings Rainey have made are true, then they've got to be certs to go up this coming season and give some of the big boys a bloody nose in the UL aswell.

Tim Barker : Ulster Rugby
Mark O'Connor : Coventry
Richard Aingsworth : Ballymena
Johnny Shiels
Steven McGinis : Flyde
Conor O'Neill : Queens
Mike Sargent : Instonians

Anymore schoolboys coming from Limavady or Coleraine?

[cjp]

Porter is playing for Banbridge next year afaik.

[dublane]

he's a great signing, a real match winner. Matt Johnson has gone there from Queens also.

[midulsterrugby]

Cooke's captain Jody McMurray has left to go back to hometown club Rainey OB.

[bootlaced]

Where is all the info re the AIL that has been posted overcthe last few weeks.

[uafcadmin]

I believe you already know the answer to that question bootlaced and I am not in the habit of repeating what others have already said. Perhaps you have another agenda?
If you would like to make a polite request we can let you have a copy of a particular item of data within reason.

When do the fixtures for the AIL 2012/13 season be published?

[cjp]

I would imagine soon enough as the Ulster League fixtures came out today.
