Clongowes this year have been sensational, their pack is unbelievably talented this year and I believe they are the best in the country but we’ll see after this final
I never could have predicted this…
Newbridge vs St Michael’s 25-22
St Michael’s the favourites this year have been downed in the most spectacular of fashions. 3 years ago these same teams with 12-13 faces from both sides met and St Michael’s won 35-10.
Lessons have been learned by this Newbridge side and they showed great character to fight back, Just like their junior counterparts who also beat St Michael’s.
The final:
This is an all Kildare final, three years ago when these two faced at U16/ newbridge won in a closely fought match in newbridge. This will be a cracker of a final.
Clongowes remains the only team unbeaten in the country as far as I know. If they keep this going it will be huge.
