11th Nov	Rrugby round-up 11-11-19	Tom McKeown
Fantastic wins for both men and women 1st XV squads as the two teams remain TOP of their leagues and unbeaten. Our men continued their winning streak and on a day where 3rd year social science scholar Lee Franzoni (pictured) grabbed his first All Ireland League try, the squad dismantled a Buccaneers side full of Connacht contracted players and academy talent 34-10 to stretch our winning streak to 23! Our women's first team also had a massive win at home to Trinity keeping them scoreless 15-0 with superb performances from Orlaith Murray (year 2 arts)! Our u23 men drew on Friday in Energia Park against Old Wesley 26-26 in a highly entertaining game. Our under 20s lost again as their injury ravaged side felt the tiredness in the last 25 minutes falling to a 13-33 defeat when it was well poised at 13-14 - Roscommon rugby scholar Tim Lambe putting in another fantastic display. Come a.ong to touch rugby tonight or get in touch if you are keen to play for any of our 5 men's squad, under 20 premier side or our 2 women's sides. thomas.mckeown@mu.ie
4th Nov	weekend round up	Tom McKeown
Great weekend for men and women 1st XVs but male 2nd XV, U23 XV, 20s suffer defeat! Great victories for our men's 1st XV with a fine win away in Limerick versus Old Crescent with a superb solo try from first year Matias Giannetti and further stand out performances from Daragh Bellanova (1st year), Brendan McSorely (year 3, try scorer pictured), Daniel Murphy (third year) and Darren Hudson (PG)! Our women also had a another super win on the road, this time at Mullingar! 7 scholarship girls among the starting XV! Well done Jai, Lia, Ciara, Katelynn, Bianca, Alice and Ava! Superb. Tough day for our 20s losing heavily at UCD against a very strong outfit containing no fewer than 7 Leinster A players from the recent matches. Our squad has been ravaged with injury of late, losing more in the Conroy cup last weekend in our defeat to Trinity and victory over Queen's Belfast. We will keep working! Queries on playing rugby at any level please get in touch. thomas.mckeown@mu.ie
