Re: AIL Energia Leage Rugby/Ulster League
Coming from the more respectable side of Shaws Bridge I dislike gloating from the 'master race' more than most, but an AIL thread seems like exactly the place how Inst are getting on should be discussed.
Watched a bit of the Armagh game on the bus back from Cavan and they looked very competitive against Cork Con. Good to have a couple of Ulster teams hopefully establishing themselves in 1A. Looks like there will be a few Ulster teams aiming for promotion down the leagues too, but both Omagh and Malone shipped a lot of points. Anyone have any insight into what's happening there?

For reasons unbeknownst to me, the bus driver didn't go through Armagh on Saturday. The game was also in Cork, so wouldn't have seen much. There was a free live stream of the match on YouTube. Link below for anyone interested.

Good wins for Hinch and Queens yesterday. Banbridge and Malone had bad losses away from home sadly. Anyone know how both Malone and Banbridge are coping after dropping down other than results?
Re: AIL Energia Leage Rugby/Ulster League
Watched Instonians V Corinthians on Saturday very good game. (Instonians -3 Whittens) came back strongly in the second half to take the win. The remaining Whitten put in an excellent performance. Corinthians fully deserved their losing bonus point. This was a big step up in standard from 2C last year.
Was in England a few weeks before and took in a Nat 2 game Hornets V Cambourne, seemed to be about the same level as 2B, Josh Matavesi was playing for Cambourne biggest centre I've ever seen.

Malone in big trouble i think,
2nd XV landed up to Ballymoney on Saturday for a Junior Cup game with only 10 players.

Might watch a bit of Malone v Ballymena this afternoon before the Ulster game. Hopefully a tasty derby.
