I’m hearing that Michael’s trailed 16-13 but equalised with a penalty 10 minutes into injury time. That sounds like good strong fair refereeing there.
0 from 4 in predictions today, granted one was a postponement. But that’s the beauty of the Schools’ Cup in a nutshell, you just never know.
Another Monkstown man. Excellent work. It’s good to hear they’re pulling in the past-pupils as teachers and as coaches.
They should beat CUS and fingers crossed from there …
18 minutes of injury time was played in this apparently. I wonder where the replay will be. Neutral venue again presumably. Probably Anglesea Road this time. No advantage to either team.
They should bring the upstarts outside of the pale at least to make it fair. Somewhere exotic like Portarlington would be fair.

Prophetic words from Wardie. That’s why he’s the man.

Jaysis, 3 lads from CBC here. I hope I don’t know ye.
Relive the end of today’s epic LIVE TV match between Pres Bray and Newbridge with Setanta’s live blog. What an epic finish! Take it from the BOTTOM UP by the way, as is usual in schools’ rugby.
3.56 The kick from Masterson goes over by about an inch and the final whistle goes straight after. What a game. What a win. Credit to both sides. Pres march on but commiserations to Newbridge who must have thought they had won it…
3.55 OH. MY. WORD. Masterson makes the kick and PRES win!
PRES 12 - 10 NEWBRIDGE
3.54 Penalty to Pres on ten metre line in front of posts. Long way out but its a chance to win it…
3.52 What a finish from Phil O’Neill who arcs beautifully around the Pres defence and secures the try. Conversion missed.
3.51 WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!! Newbridge score in the corner and now lead. It is surely over…
PRES 9 - 10 NEWBRIDGE
3.48 Pres holding onto the ball until charged down but as Newbridge look to go wide, ball knocked on by Pres hand. Scrum given to Newbridge, rather than penalty.
3.46 Oooh. Penalty to Pres on half way. Long way to go and only 2 minutes left. Touch is missed and Pres regain possession in their own half.
3.43 Outstanding clearing kick by Houghton to clear his lines.
3.41 Getting into Hail Mary stage here for Newbridge and wouldn’t you know it. A barnstoring run from Colin Grant eventually ends up with Newbridge over the Pres try line but it is knocked on. Great scramble defence from Pres.
3.40 Just under ten minutes left here…
But stop the presses! Conclusive photographic eveidence sems to prove that the winning Bray kick in fact went UNDER rather than over the bar! Unbelieveable stuff! Will we be getting a replay I wonder? Or will the Newbridge boys learn that life just isn’t fair? Incredible character-building incident whatever happens.
Setanta must be stuck for stuff to show with this elitist shite on tonight.
They’ve been showing it for years along with under 12s Gaelic and Schools’ Basketball.
wtf are you into you sick cunt

[/quote]They beat Belvo 38-3 earlier in the year and it is a spectacularly poor Belvo XV. You decide.
Mac stands to be an extra cent richer in about 40 minutes’ time.
Half time score from Donnybrook:
Clongowes Wood College Society of Jesus 28
Belvedere College Society of Jesus 3
The difference is that the strong farmer class is able to rear its young on beef, while the north inner-city street urchins look like they’ve been fed on mutton.
It’s no surprise that the recession has brought a resurgence in fortunes for the Wood.
43-3 to the Kildare men in the finish. Hope you piled in on the handicap Mac
I hope Mac enjoys his cola bottle(s). Champagne stuff from the Clongowes chaps.
