Fixtures this Weekend

We have another packed schedule this weekend, with 6 adult sides in action. Due to the Heineken Cup, there are no AIL fixtures again this weekend, so the Firsts have a week off. However, Saturday afternoon sees no less than five matches taking place, with three of them at home. With the Leinster match on at 3.40pm, all kick offs are at 1pm, making it the perfect way to start your weekend!

The 2nd XV take on Trinity at home in a repeat of their Leinster League fixture. The lads have had a strong start to the season, and will be looking to bounce back from last week’s defeat to Clontarf (the only side to beat them so far). The 3rd XV travel to Stradbrook to face Blackrock in Metro Division 4, where they will be joined by the 5th XV who also make the trip over to Rock in Division 8. Back home in Lakelands, the 4th XV have a local derby as they face Mary’s. This match may kick off at 12.30pm subject to Branch confirmation, so make sure to keep an eye on the website and twitter for updates – or just turn up early! Rounding off the Saturday action, the 6th XV welcome Clontarf to Terenure in Division 10. The final fixture of the week sees the U20s face Greystones at home on Sunday, at 3pm.

Don’t forget that all Heineken Cup matches will be shown in the bar this weekend. Leinster face French champions Castres at 3.40pm, while Munster are on at 6pm against Gloucester – they might need another Miracle Match this year. What better way to spend a Saturday afternoon?

Next Wednesday sees the Launch of our Vice-President Rala’s autobiography, A Life in Rugby. The launch will be held in the Club, and will be attended by some of Rala’s friends from the international game. All members are welcome to attend, and further details are available on our website at http://www.tcrfc.ie/?p=17521

Results this Weekend

It was another good weekend for the purple, black and white this weekend, with wins for the 4ths, 6ths and U20s.

On Saturday, the 2nd XV faced Clontarf for the second time in two weeks, with the Northsiders again proving too strong, running out 25-14 winners in Lakelands. The 6ths were given a walkover by Monkstown, while the 4th XV had undeniably the result of the weekend. Captain Ken Treacy and his team ran out 62-7 winners over Lansdowne in Ballycorus Road, with Gav Costello notching up FOUR tries in the second half.

The U20s followed up on last week’s win with a hard fought victory over Dublin University on Sunday. With College Park out of use, the match was played in Sydney Parade, with the lads running out 21-15 winners. The 3rds meanwhile, renewed their rivalry with Old Wesley in Lakelands. In a low scoring but gripping encounter, Terenure struck first to take a 7-0 lead. However, with a Nure man in the bin, Wesley struck back to leave the scores at 7-5 at half time. That’s the way it remained until the last kick of the game, when Wesley worked their way from their own 22, before slotting a neat drop goal to pinch the win 8-7. All in all, not a bad weekend, but plenty to work on for next week.

In other Nure news, Terenure man JP Doyle took charge of the whistle in Munster’s defeat away to Edinburgh, while Isaac Boss was instrumental in Leinster’s win away to the Ospreys. Meanwhile, our inaugural Ladies Tag League kicks off this week. With four teams competing over six weeks, it promises to be a great success.

Something for the weekend…

The Heineken Cup kicks off this week (for it’s farewell tour?), and while Murdoch and his colour-by-numbers pundits will no doubt put on a great show, don’t forget that the REAL rugby is still on the pitches of Dublin. We have nearly a full schedule again this weekend, and though the 1st XV have a well earned week off, the Junior sides continue their Metro campaigns, and the 20s will look to back up their fantastic win over Lansdowne last week.

We have two sides in action on Saturday afternoon, so if the early Munster Edinburgh match hasn’t put you off, why not pop out to Sydney Parade or Ballycorus Road? The 4th XV play Lansdowne, and the 6th XV face Monkstown, both at 3pm. On Sunday, the 2nds travel to Clontarf to seek revenge for their narrow Leinster League defeat, and I wouldn’t bet against them after last week’s defeat of Lansdowne. Meanwhile, the U20s play Trinity. This match is on in Sydney Parade, as College Park is being re-laid.

Sunday also sees our only home match of the weekend, with the Thirds welcoming Wesley to Lakelands at 3pm. These two have had some fantastic battles over the last couple of seasons, and this game is not to be missed. If any game this weekend was worthy of a slow-motion, HD montage set to an inspirational tune, this is it! Definitely better than Sale-Biarritz anyway…..

So stick the Heineken Cup on record, get the winter coats out and come down and support your club this weekend. And after watching all that rugby, you’ll surely deserve a hot whiskey or two in the club after – just to watch the Leinster match of course!

Results from the Weekend

It was a cracker of a weekend in Lakelands, with a busy schedule topped off by a fantastic set of matches on Sunday afternoon. The club had six wins from seven, led from the front by the 1st XV, who battled to a 20-19 win over Blackrock in Stradbrook on Saturday afternoon. Despite taking a 7-5 lead into the halftime break, Terenure let Blackrock in for two quick scores early in the second half, and found themselves trailing 19-7. Nure didn’t give in though, and battled back, with Willie Staunton knocking over a long range penalty, and then converting Harry Moore’s try to leave the scores at 19-17. Willie then put Nure in the lead with a huge penalty, and the lads hung on to take the points. Two from two in the AIL, with Belfast Harlequins up next in three weeks time.
Also on Saturday, the 4ths had a cracking win over a very strong Clontarf side in Lakelands. Helped in no small part by the sizeable frame of under 20 Ricky Slevin who lined out at prop, the lads put in a great performance to win 18-12. At the same time, the 6ths were victorious over the Emerald Warriors, while the 5ths were beaten in Killiney by a strong Seapoint side.

Sunday saw one of the biggest Sunday crowds in years, as the supporters took advantage of the good weather to watch as three Nure sides took on their Lansdowne counterparts. On the top pitch, the 3rds scored 6 tries to 1 in a big win, while the 2nds triumphed in a fiercely fought match thanks to a late Andy Wallace penalty. After a Terry Jones try had helped Nure to ten point lead, Lansdowne fought back and prolonged pressure eventually told, with a try close to the posts allwoing Lansdowne to draw level. Nure, and Wallace, had the last say to take the spoils by 3 points.

Arguably the performance of the weekend though, came on the 1st pitch, as the U20s put in a brilliant effort to beat Lansdowne. Two perfectly worked tries gave Nure a 14-0 lead early on, and as Lansdowne fought back in the second half, Nure defended like their lives depended on it, and hit back on the break to maintain their lead. Despite late Lansdowne pressure, the 20s held on for a well deserved win. Watch this space!

Round Two

Round two, ding ding!The second weekend of the season proper sees a full fixture list for the club, with all SEVEN adult sides in action. With the AIL, Metro leagues and the JP Fanagan league all in full swing, Lakelands will be a hive of activity this week – not to mention mini rugby on Sunday!

The 1st XV will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season as they travel to take on old foes Blackrock in Stradbrook on Saturday. After their superb six try win over UL Bohs last week, Nure are flying, but Rock are certain to pose a stiffer test. Rock had a good win away to Shannon last week, and this is sure to be a cracking derby game.

Also on Saturday, there are two games in Lakelands, with the 4th XV taking on Clontarf, and the 6th XV welcoming the Emerald Warriors, both at 3pm. Meanwhile, the 5th XV travel to Killiney to take on Seapoint, also on Saturday afternoon.

Sunday sees a triple header against the might of Lansdowne, as the 2nds, 3rds and U20s all play at home at 3pm. This is guaranteed to be a great day of rugby, and three close contests. The standard of rugby at these levels has been incredible over the last couple of seasons, and you won’t want to miss these matches.

Also, don’t forget that the Munster – Leinster match will be shown live in the club on Saturday evening (ko 18.45). The perfect way to round off a Saturday of rugby!
