AGM Season Report


The Club Second XV under the magnificent and youthful William Wallace had a very satisfactory season finishing in second position in their league behind St Mary’s and in capturing the Metropolitan cup for the 12th time. (We have contested the last three finals). It is always difficult to captain a second XV due to the demands higher up and the management and captain are to be commended for blending a fabulously enthusiastic bunch of players including Flipper Caldwell who kept supporters entertained in an inter active manner when play seemed to flag. The team had a good complement of players with senior AIL experience which added to their strength and many subbed for the 1stXV on a Saturday and started again next day for the 2ndXV.

Thanks to coaches Daniel O’Brien and manager Willie Aherne for their dedication and commitment throughout the season.
