We beat UCC yday in very difficult conditions, Ballymena done us a favour and only 1 point off Shannon now. Banbridge still with in a sniff sitting in 3rd spot. Does B&I Cup quarter final fall on same weekend as any UBL fixtures as it will harm both teams chances of promotion.

Getting a bit like Bakebook here, the answer is no , but if you had googled it you would have known, latest Bakebook Question: where in Edinburgh do Irish fans go to watch the game on match day, DOH its in Dublin and ffs .UR13IRFU wrote:We beat UCC yday in very difficult conditions, Ballymena done us a favour and only 1 point off Shannon now.

RE clubs depending on Academy players etc, if said clubs produced the players then they should have first choice on them, but stop relying on players handed to the clubs. CLubs really have to get the youth structure and coaching right or its goodbye to cLuB rugby.

Re: Ulster sides in UBL
I think there's some truth in that Kofi but you've also got to get your academy players to want to play for the club.

Re: Ulster sides in UBL
Banbridge and Ballynahinch, 2 of the most successful clubs that invested in their youth system and keep putting out teams every week. Hinch have a few players in 1st squad that came through the youth but at the end of the day the harsh truth is that if your going to get in
to 1A which is pretty much semi pro standard then local club players ain't going to cut it. Look what happened when we played Shannon with hardly any academy players...got hammered!
Investing in youth will insure club stays strong as a whole but when it comes to UBL 1st XV rugby it's hard to compete against the money men in Dublin and Cork without the help from the branch even tho sometimes we do get messed about with allocations before match day

Re: Ulster sides in UBL
Match of the Day: Saturday 3rd February Palace Grounds 2:30 KO (as distinct from Paris Ballicks)
The Armagh Yokels v The Belfast Binmen
Be there, if it's as good as the reverse fixture, it'll be better than watching the feckin' 6Ns..... or Alster.
I am assured that the crud from last season's Bullshit Bingo has been removed from the pitch and rumours that a member of this forum attempted to buy the bullock are of no substance and have been discredited. It was his son............... no, FFFS not the bullock, that tried to buy the beast.
Anyway, the bullock was a feckin' heifer with an arsepiece that you'd normally only see sashaying around Mullingar.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: Ulster sides in UBL
Is it still the case that Hinch mop up a lot of the ex RBAI and Methody men as essentially they're the closest AIL top level club to Belfast?UR13IRFU wrote:7 started and 1 on the bench

Re: Ulster sides in UBL
Yeah seems to be, got a couple from CCB aswell then the usual haul from Wallace. Hard keeping them all happy but they seem to be enjoying MCGlocks coaching.
