Who are the Welsh crawshays? & what was the result? I’m assuming a loss, or we’d have heard it by now?

Good to hear, following that decent result against the Munster side a little while back.

The challenge that faces us, and other Irish sides, is how to get enough meaningful minutes into these lads.

Crawshays are an invitational side.

Phenomenal. All our players should read this article.

On Wednesday, I went home from the club and logged onto the Irish Examiner’s livestream coverage of the Munster Schools Cup semi between Pres and Munchin’s. Watched in wonder, in fact, at the lower body power of Gene Kareen O’Leary, the lines of the O’Leary brothers and the dexterity of back-rower Oscar Squires, who has only one full arm. Yes, you read that correctly.

"Bloody astonishing, and all credit to Pres for not making a big drama of it either. I was intrigued. How does he receive a pass? I watched an action going from right to left, and the passing moved seamlessly through Squires. Marvellous stuff, inspiring."

Pointless being named when all the schools cup finalists aren’t involved.
