No its the challenge cup first rounds this weekend..
Well done ger123 get the ball rolling early!!! Nearly agree with you,for my money Waterpark are going to be the poster boys this year,Richmond,Mary's and Cobh yes,Tralee and Kanturk no I think,I heard Kanturk lost badly yesterday to Mallow in a friendly and also lost to Castleisland the week before, Tralee traditionally do not start the season very well.Originally Posted by ger123
Id have to agree with you there scout, tralee win most games december and january , senans and crosshaven will be a tough one too call i think.
NAH, Mallow lost to Kanturk 10-7 in a tight game. Mallow only had half of their starting team due to unavailabilty and injury. Kanturk had their full team and from what transpired from the game, kanturk look dodgey for the season. Wouldent be expecting the same heights that they reached last year for this season.
Who were kanturk missing?were dan mc cabe and drachma Meade playing bcos they would be kanturks best players at 8 and 10......
Quick question. I need to clarify a point. Can rugby clubs pay medical bills on behalf of players i.e. not just physio but operations etc?
Point raised at a committee meeting.
Thanks in advance.
Yes Dan Macabe and Dara Meade played the game in full. Didnt set stand out during the game from what i heard from the spectators
Well it's a strange result if mallow only had half their first team out,have kanturk lost afew players or could we just put in down to early season rustiness??bcos they were my tip fr the league this year
If it was its a terrible tip
And why would that be a terrible tip considering they finished 2nd last year??go on ......I'm intrigued
They can, anybody can pay a hospital bill, but why would they? Insurance for things like that should be the players look out
Thanks but im not sure thats correct. Anyone could pay a mortgage bill or for a holiday also, and I'm not sure that would be aloud. Vouched expenses for games and max €250 per game is whats stipulated by the IRFU
Lost a couple to retirement and 1 or 2 to emmigration
My Predictions for the weekend:
Cobh Pirates v Clanwilliam,Cobh, 2.30; Cobh
Crosshaven v St. Senan's, Crosshaven, 2.30; Crosshaven
Galbally v Kanturk, Galbally, 2.30; Kanturk
Kilfeacle v Richmond, Kilfeacle, 2.30; Richmond (heard they have unbelievable backline!)
St. Mary's v Newcastle West, Corbally, 2.30; Newcastle West
Tralee v Old Christians, Tralee, 2.30; Old Christians
Waterpark v Skibbereen, Ballinakill, 2.30; Skibb
Crosshaven v. St. Senan's is postponed.
Vorsprung durch Pfennig.
How come the game is off????
I love this stuff! IMO Dicky D your half right or half wrong depending on how you look at it,here's my stab!!
Cobh yes
Crosshaven yes
Kanturk NO
Richmond yes
Newcastlewest NO
Old Christians yes
Skibbereen NO

jesus christ, the crosshaven lads have some neck, the rules state there are no free weekends.
What happens the Challenge Cup now? with the fixtures already pushed back those pricks have upset it even further.

To this outsider it seems that the Branch is the entity that needs to get its house in order so challenges like this don't arise.
I'm basing this opinion solely on what I've gleaned from lurking on this thread.
Sent from my Commodore 64
This is the problem, the branch has worked hard for the past few years to put its house in order and a certain few clubs around the province are used to doing what they please, unfortunately for them even an amateur sports organisation needs a level of professionalism, considering it is the foundation for a professional setup it is essential.
If a club wants a jolly boys wekend away it should be done in pre season, had the Crosshaven committe,coaches,players, management whatever read the rules they would have notced that it clearly states fixtures are open to change and there are no free weekends.
In regards all the other messing from clubs in regards court cases and hearings,bitching and moaning and appeal after appeal it would be nice if these clubs went about their business playing Rugby for a change, if my own club pulled that kind of stroke I would be embarrased.

Same Old Crosshaven!! A few years ago they screwed Senans over saying they would re-arrange a game and next thing you know crosshaven take a walkover!!
I dont blame crosshaven here, probably had a lot of money paid to inchydonney hotel or wherever they r going for their spa and facials weekend, munster branch yet again made to look like a joke cant wait for the rugby to start a proper!
You asked can they not should they.
I know least one club that have it in their player welfare program that they pay for injuries sustained at training and in matches and have a budget put aside for it and it isn't considered payment to players. This club does not pay or give expenses to players or, to my knowledge, pay the coaches.
However, they have a physio, doctor and a hospital ready for this and the club makes the appointments with each and gets the reports.
The player is never billed so it's not an expense.
"Crosshaven,crosshaven! are you recieving me?come in Crosshaven Over" Please be advised do not put a foot wrong this year or ye shall be punished!!! also, beware of phone cameras,twitter,facebook etc whilst away on PISS UP / bonding weekend.Have a nice time and well done on getting one over.
"well done on getting one over" why?
Im here to spread the word..common sense is not just for animals
Ya 13thscout "well done on getting one over" why???
Would have a fair degree of sympathy for Cross here notwithstanding what the rule book might say about free weekends. When the fixtures were issued originally I think it was reasonable to assume this was a weekend you could have organised a training weekend.
Going to court over the issue is a joke by both parties though, especially considering the problem was created by the branch themselves!!
