Men's Division 1 League Round 1

Round 1 of this year's Men's League took place in Buccaneers RFC on Saturday last 22nd March. No less than five teams converged on the Athlone venue for a bumper day of eight matches. This clearly shows the rising interest in this competition which is running for its third year.  

DSC Wanderers were the most impressive side on show. The Merrion Road team recorded three convincing victories over Galway's Racoon West, DLSP and the hosts Buccaneers. Old Wesley also finished the day unbeaten with victories over Buccaneers and DLSP and a draw against Racoon West. DLSP also competed well grabbing a win against Racoon West. In the last game of the day, Buccaneers faced the Racoons in a Connacht derby and the Galway side took the honours, winning 4-2 with a crucial intercept try helping to make the difference.

Thanks to Aoife McCarthy and Barbara Oliveira who refereed the eight games on the day.
