    No. been teams whove scored 90+. Waterpark and few other clubs in seasons they went down to junior definitely conceded 90+ and im fairly sure theres been a side or two to have conceded more than 100

    I can't ever remember Ballymena conceding 80+ points in any fixture in my 50+ years of following club rugby.

    This famous club won AIL in 2003 and WJ McBride and other greats from the past must be wondering what has happened to what was once a great club. Scoreline like that is embarassing to say the least.

    Q put over 50 on Malone recently and they are a league above. Q have put over 50 on a number of clubs this year. Basically they should not be in 2A.

    I suppose Rte are busy with Gaa championship.

    Having just one match on tv doesn't achieve much.

    Steady on. 1 point win. Fair play to bucks doing it when they needed to but feel for Queens. Regularly beat 1B teams. Best team in the league all season but no automatic qualification this year due to covid…

    that’s knock out rugby for ye.

    Yes, apologies for my put down. You're right re ko rugby. Queens missed a conversion to win. They must be gutted.

    All those penalties in front of the post in the first half cost Terenure this match.

    Clontarf wins 29-23. They pulled away from about minutes 30-50 and built a big enough lead that they couldn't be caught.

    Feel a bit for Terenure. Did brilliantly to work their way back into the game and were by far the better side in the final 30 minutes. Great set piece and phase play up front. Just couldn't get the final try despite being camped in Clontarfs 22.

    It was a decent match, I had expected more handling errors with all the rain that had fallen between yesterday and today.

    Clontarf well worth their win, just had a bit more on the day.

    First time posting in a long time, took a break from internetting!

    A fantastic year, the last two weeks in Nure have been incredible. Some of the best craic I've ever had. Really proud of the side and to be from there.

    Best team won the league, no complaints here and they did it missing Leinster lads who had been regulars.

    What a league. Only gossip was that was Tony Ryan's last game for Clontarf, he is moving to Wexford and playing with Enniscorthy.

    He will be a big loss for tarf thats for sure. Look in a way in my own opinion i think the best two team form wise in the league got two the final but i had tarf in my head going into the final tarf would win it based on previous experience on finals etc etc. Be interesting to see who goes from either of thoughs sides or any other team for that matter retirement wise as im hearing alot of the con lads retiring. Also be interesting to see if any of the championship or provincial sides offer any of the players a contract off the back of the season. From a 1b perspective i think peter osborne has been class this season and possibily worth of something, donnellan as well possibly worth of a shout with the season hes had if any clubs do come looking...

    Yeah its been a fantastic year, great to see lads from down the leagues play on the irish 20s etc. You don't have to move clubs to make it.

    I have not seen him play but my mates in Belvo say that Peter Osbourne might be the best place kicker they have ever seen, never mind just AIL.

    Is this your team, or an official team or what exactly?

    Why isn't Dylan Donnellan there after scoring something like 18 tries this season from hooker?

    Sorry, have seen on another thread it's the team facing a Leinster Development side tomorrow, so understand the selection more now, and the strong Dublin slant to the selection too.

    This was called late in the day.

    Some lads only trained on the Thursday (Nure lads for sure and probably Tarf)

    Other lads going away with better halves. I know one of our lads couldn't play cause had a family communion today and didn't want to rock up black and blue maybe

    Think most of the Tarf lads were still in the pub to be fair.
