A big weekend of rugby ahead for all Old Belvedere. On the international front, good luck to Marcus Hannon and John McKee who start for the Irish U20s tonight against England, and Sene Naoupu, Kathryn Dane, Linda Djougang, Victoria Dabanovich-O’Mahony and Hannah Tyrrell on Sunday versus England in the Women’s 6 Nations.

On the provincial front Peter Robb continues his good form for Connaught tonight and it was great to see Roman Salanoa and Fergus McFadden perform so well for Leinster last week. We look forward to Jack Conan, Marty Moloney and Rory O’Loughlin returning from injury very soon.

All Ireland League brings us to Malone on Saturday for a double header at 2.30 (Men’s) and 5pm (Women’s). Support would be hugely welcome against very difficult opposition.

Sunday in Ollie Campbell Park at noon will be very busy with the Prem 1 U20s v Trinity and J1 v Clontarf. U20s had a great win v Lansdowne last week and a repeat performance would be most welcome. 

Our Prem 2 U20 side make the journey to St Marys and our Metro 8 team are in Donnybrook versus Bective.

 

I look forward to seeing you all on the sidelines this weekend supporting all our teams.

 

Come on Belvo!
