Metro League Division 4 Final Lansdowne FC v Old Wesley RFC Lansdowne Road, Back Pitch. Friday April 5th 2024   Lansdowne 21 – 7  Old Wesley   The stage was set for yet another nail-biting clash under Friday Night Lights at HQ as the two clubs that have shared dominance of Leinster rugby at junior level in recent years met at the end of yet another competition. Lansdowne J3s, the holders of the League title from last year’s unforgettable 150th season, enjoyed an even better season this year, if that’s possible (with apologies to Dave Tunney and all the others in that golden era ..read more

Young Munster RFC v Lansdowne FC Energia AIL Division 1 A Saturday 6th April 2024 Tom Clifford Park, Limerick Young Munster 22 – 29 Lansdowne   “Blow winds and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow!”* And blow it did. But as well as the challenges presented by Storm Kathleen, another interesting feature of this contest in Limerick on Saturday was how it celebrated the quality and interchangeability of the current Lansdowne 1st and J1 squads.  Several young J1 players getting their first “caps” and a few seasoned legends returning to the top tier, all worked seamlessly within the system ..read more

Albert O’Connell Cup  (Metro J2)  First Round Lansdowne FC v Old Wesley RFC Wednesday 3 March Back Pitch, Lansdowne Road Lansdowne 34 – 10 Old Wesley   After two defeats in the league already this season, Old Wesley may have come to this cup clash in HQ as the underdogs, but nobody with an ounce of sense doubted that they were still the menacing force they always were. This was going to be tough.  And it was. The scoreline told one story, but the cuts, bruises and breathless bodies at the end of the game told the real one.  Wesley put up a battle royale, but captain Wi ..read more

Lansdowne FC v City of Armagh RFC Energia AIL Division 1 A Saturday 30th  March 2024 Lansdowne Road Lansdowne 64 – 31 City of Armagh   It was like releasing a tiger from a cage.  After weeks of being locked in by other teams’ cast iron defences, someone in City of Armagh left the cage door open and the try-scoring beast buried inside Fassie’s Lansdowne men was unleashed, sending them on a rampage of eight unanswered tries.  But Armagh were happy travelers too.  They sustained remarkable punishment in the first half, but worked their way back into the game to win a four ..read more

Metro League Division 3 FINAL Lansdowne FC v Tullamore RFC Sunday 24th March 2024   Lansdowne FC 14 – 10 Tullamore RFC Cup finals, in any competition, have a special energy and this titanic struggle between Lansdowne and Tullamore didn’t disappoint.  Perfect conditions promised an open game and that’s what a big crowd got in the shadow of the Aviva Stadium on a sunny Sunday afternoon.  The scores may have been low – none at all in the second half — but that’s more credit to both sides’ defence than either’s lack of adventure in attack. Tullamore, the only team to beat our J ..read more

Ballynahinch RFC v Lansdowne FC Energia AIL Division 1 A Saturday 23rd March 2024 Ballymacarn Park, Ballynahinch Ballynahinch 10 – 5 Lansdowne   Umbrellas were no good to you in the wet and windswept hills of Ballymacarn Park, as Ballynahinch hoped to even the score with Lansdowne after their resounding defeat on the Aviva pitch in October. Hardy men every one, the boys of Ballynahinch managed the conditions best to keep us to one try each, with two kicks being all that separated us in the end. Each side’s ambitions were evident from the frantic first 15 minutes, as the ball went end to e ..read more
