ST MICHAEL’S COLLEGE VS CISTERCIAN COLLEGE, ROSCREA

john walsh welcome 

PRESIDENT, LEINSTER RUGBY 2020/22 

As President of 

Leinster Rugby, 

I extend a 

warm welcome 

to all those 

attending 

Energia Park 

for today’s 

final of the 

Bank of Ireland 

Leinster 

Schools 

Junior Cup 

and a special 

welcome to 

all those who 

can’t be here 

to savour 

the unique 

atmosphere 

of one of the 

great sporting 

occasions on 

the Leinster 

Rugby calendar 

but are joining 

us on our 

various media 

channels. 

We look forward to an exciting 

final game in a competition 

that is renowned for producing 

excitement, drama, passion 

and sportsmanship and indeed 

represents the values of our 

sport in camaraderie, endeavour, 

respect, discipline, friendship, 

enrichment and most importantly 

enjoyment. 

The Leinster Schools Junior Cup was 

first played in 1909 when St Andrew’s 

College became the first school to 

have it’s name inscribed on the cup. 

The competition has gone from strength 

to strength and was played for 110 

consecutive years up to and including 

2019 which is a most remarkable 

achievement when you reflect on the 

great events that have occurred in the 

world and in Ireland from that first final 

when St Andrew’s College overcame 

Belvedere College. 

To date just 12 schools have succeeded 

in winning the Junior Schools Cup 

compared to the 17 schools who 

have won the Senior Schools Cup. 

The leaderboard for the Junior Cup is 

headed by Blackrock College on 52 

wins followed by Belvedere College on 

17 wins. 

The global pandemic has impacted on 

all our lives and now is an opportune 

time for us to reflect on the tragedy that 

it brought to families and loved ones 

of the 10,000 deaths attributed to the 

disease on our island. A special word 

of gratitude to all those individuals 

working in our health care structures and 

in our Government agencies for their 

magnificent efforts in fighting this invisible 

enemy and for ensuring that so many 

patients did not succumb to the disease. 

We owe them all our eternal gratitude. 

We were unable to stage the 2020 

final between Blackrock College and 

Newbridge College so the title was 

rightly shared between these two 

colleges. As it so happened we managed 

to stage the 2021 edition of the Schools 

Junior Cup and by chance Blackrock 

College and Newbridge College 

appeared in the final with Newbridge 

College emerging victorious by a score 

of 19-15. 

So, this season’s final will mark the 113th 

Leinster Schools Junior Cup Final and will 

feature St Michael’s College (Winners of 

five titles in 1991, 2002, 2012, 2017 and 

2019) and Cistercian College Roscrea 

who recorded a sole victory in 1939 and 

were beaten finalists in 1910 and 1940. 

Roscrea College have won their three 

cup fixtures with a total of 67 points 

scored (nine tries) and conceding 53 

points (eight tries) having overcome St 

Fintan’s High School (29-21), Clongowes 

Wood College (21-20) and Newbridge 

College (6-3). 

St Michael’s College’s path to the final 

saw them record victories over Blackrock 

College (6-3), Terenure College (30-7) 

and Castleknock College (7-6) for a total 

of 43 points scored (five tries) and 16 

points (one try) conceded. 

The very best of luck to all those players 

from the extended squads from both 

teams and I hope that they savour the 

occasion and indeed cherish the journey 

and friendships that this year’s cup 

campaign has brought them on. 

A special word of thanks to all those 

Principals, Gamemasters and coaches 

in the 120 Leinster-affiliated schools 

and indeed to all those 73 affiliated 

Leinster clubs for their important role 

in developing and mentoring all those 

young players who were participating 

in the 39 Leinster Schools and the 24 

Leinster Youth-Schools competitions 

staged by Leinster Rugby this season. 

A special word of thanks to the Leinster 

Rugby Referees for their magnificent 

support in ensuring that the 215 annual 

Leinster Rugby competitions were 

expertly catered for this season under 

what were difficult circumstances. The 

190 active referees attend in excess of 

5,700 Leinster fixtures annually and 

we urge all players, team management 

and spectators to acknowledge and 

respect the contribution that our match 

4 | Leinster Schools Junior Cup Final 2022 


officials make in ensuring the safety of 

our players. 

We have an ever-increasing annual 

fixture list and this will require the 

services of additional match officials. 

Leinster Rugby in association with the 

Leinster Rugby Referees can assist you 

on embarking on a rewarding career as 

a match official so please give back to a 

sport that has enriched your life. 

These days the world of rugby continues 

to grow with 127 countries affiliated 

to World Rugby. It is estimated that 

worldwide 10 million people play rugby 

with three million of these female players. 

Leinster Rugby is committed to being a 

sporting organisation that is inclusive and 

welcoming to all. 

tireless volunteers who 

oversee and run our 

mixed-ability teams 

and 16 mini rugby 

festivals. 

What drives Leinster 

Rugby forward is 

the strength and the 

passion of the various 

rugby structures that we 

have. We play for the 

proud colours of our clubs, 

our schools, our province and 

our country. Thank you to 

all involved in making sporting 

dreams come true. 

JOHN WALSH 

LEINSTER PRESIDENT 

Reflecting on the journey that Leinster 

Rugby has undertaken to establish itself 

as one of Europe’s premier clubs we are 

totally focused on building sustainable 

pathways for players to enjoy the sport 

at every level. In following the successful 

strategies in developing the Youth, School 

and U-20 structures in Leinster we are 

committed to embarking on developing 

Women’s and Girl’s rugby in a similar 

fashion. 

At present we have 32 Leinster clubs 

fielding women’s teams in nine Leinster 

competitions and five Leinster girls 

competitions that feature in excess of 70 

girls Youth teams. We also recognise 

the significant growth in the number of 

Leinster schools participating in the IRFU 

X7s programme for Junior and Senior 

cycle girls in secondary schools. 

I also wish to acknowledge the 

outstanding work that Leinster’s 54 Club 

Community Officers and Community 

Rugby Officers have undertaken in 

promoting rugby during the past two 

seasons. 

Throughout our 12-county province 

they engaged in 627 Leinster primary 

schools and 216 Leinster secondary 

schools in encouraging participation in 

rugby as a sport in its various formats. 

A special word of thanks to all those

Chairman welcome 

A very warm welcome to the Bank 

of Ireland Leinster Schools 

Junior Cup Final 2022. 

This is the first time in a season 

where we have played two 

Junior Cup campaigns, with 

Newbridge College winning the 

delayed 2021 competition in a 

pulsating final against Blackrock 

College. 

The excitement and enjoyment this 

competition brings to these young 

players is so important to their 

development as a player and person of 

character. 

The competition this year has been full of 

entertainment and excitement so far and 

no doubt today will not disappoint. 

Today’s final sees St Michael’s College 

take on Cistercian College, Roscrea (first 

final in 82 years) to be crowned Leinster 

Schools Junior Cup Champions. 

To all the teams who have competed, it 

is hard to believe sometimes that players 

of 14 and 15 years of age produce such 

entertaining and positive rugby in this 

competition. It is a joy to watch, and all 

the schools involved should be thanked 

for the contribution they have put in to 

the teams and competition. 

I would like to take this opportunity to 

thank Bank of Ireland for their continuing 

support in sponsoring this great 

competition. They are a great partner 

in promoting the game throughout the 

province. Also, a special word of thanks 

to the media who acknowledge the 

positive way in which the game is played 

at this level and the commitment of all the 

schools and their rugby programmes. 

I wish to thank all my colleagues on the 

Schools Committee for their continuous 

hard work throughout the season. 

They are a vital part of running all 

competitions within Leinster at all levels 

on behalf of the rugby-playing schools. 

I would also like to express my gratitude 

to the Leinster Branch, particularly 

Dermot O’Mahony who, as Schools 

Administrator, works incredibly hard for 

schools rugby, and to Steve Jameson 

who organises the smooth running of 

Energia Park throughout the season. 

To Lisa Doyle, who works incredibly hard 

on promoting the schools game at all 

levels, it’s very much appreciated. Thanks 

are also due to Hayley Whyte and the 

ARLB, who provide all the officials for the 

matches. 

To both finalists, the determination you 

have shown to get here today, with some 

very hard-fought victories along the way 

will hold you in good spirits for the Final. 

Your ability to play exciting, fast and 

skilful rugby, will I’m sure be on show 

today again. To both captains, Billy 

Hayes (Roscrea) and Ethan Black (St 

Michael’s), I wish you the very best 

of luck today and enjoy this special 

occasion. 

Finally, the 2022 Cup competition will 

live long in the memories of all those 

involved today and I hope players, 

coaches, students and supporters of both 

schools enjoy this occasion and have a 

great day.

DIRECTOR, BANK OF IRELAND AREA EAST 

Welcome to the 

2022 Bank of 

Ireland Leinster 

Rugby Schools 

Junior Cup 

Final between 

St Michael’s 

College and 

Cistercian 

College, Roscrea. 

It has been just over six months 

since Newbridge College captain 

Paddy Taylor held the famous 

trophy aloft, and while the Junior 

Cup was only in Newbridge’s 

possession for a shortened period 

it was still brilliant to have the 

2021 edition played at all. But 

now here we are for the final of 

this year’s competition. 

Today’s appearance in the final is a 

historic first for Roscrea after 82 years, 

and I would like to congratulate them on 

this wonderful achievement. Of course 

they will want to mark their first final 

appearance in so long with a win, but 

standing in their way, are a formidable St 

Michael’s College team. No matter who 

wins it promises to be a special day for 

both schools and I wish them both well. 

Everyone involved in Bank of Ireland 

has thoroughly enjoyed the rugby over 

the last few months. It has not just been 

about the Junior and Senior Cups either, 

as we have supported the clubs and 

schools rugby programme throughout the 

province, and it has been exciting to see 

all the finals being played over the last 

few weeks. 

The Shane Horgan and the Sarah 

Robinson Cup competitions are also 

coming to a conclusion, and again I 

would like to take this opportunity to wish 

the young men and women representing 

their Areas in those competitions well 

over the coming weeks. These games, 

at clubs and schools level, are the 

foundation upon which Leinster Rugby is 

built, and these stand-out days are what 

sustain most players during their rugby 

careers – no matter what level they play 

at. 

We have had too many weeks and 

months over the last two years without 

occasions like this to celebrate, so 

regardless of the winner today, celebrate 

the day and celebrate the action in front 

of us all. Having occasions like this to 

savour once more makes them all the 

more special. 

Thank you, 

CD

Bank of Ireland Leinster Rugby Schools 

junior Cup Final Preview 

BY DES BERRY 

ST MICHAEL’S COLLEGE vs 

CISTERCIAN COLLEGE, ROSCREA 

St Michael’s College are climbing 

the ranks of Bank of Ireland 

Leinster Schools Junior Cup 

winners. 

The growth in their stature as a 

powerhouse is often reflected in 

a remarkable production line of 

professionals spread through Leinster 

Rugby and throughout the Irish rugby 

system. 

At the grassroots schools level, they have 

collected five titles, four since 2002, 

including two Senior-Junior Cup doubles 

in 2012 and 2019. 

Last week, they went into the semi-final 

against Blackrock as underdogs, based 

on what had happened in the previous 

rounds. 

However, they probably relied more 

on the pre-season friendly victory over 

‘Rock to put down the foundations for a 

Herculean 6-3 upset. 

Coach Shane O’Brien must have bought 

into the power of the collective being 

more than the sum of the parts as St 

Michael’s defence dominated and centre 

Ethan Black took the two chances that 

were enough on the afternoon. 

The second-row pairing of Joe Elliott and 

Eamon Burke is truly the engine room for 

a feisty front row, led by Duinn Maguire, 

and a loose forward unit that feasted at 

the breakdown in the semi-final. 

The passing of centres Charlie McConnell 

and Black is key to the attack. 

In contrast, Cistercian College Roscrea 

has one Junior Cup crown beside their 

name from 1939 as they bid to follow the 

example of Newbridge College last year 

in overcoming the odds. 

Coaches Alan Long and Denis Rusu have 

been assisted by ex-Connacht back row 

Sean O’Brien, a past-pupil. 

What they have is two of the best players 

in the competition in No 8 Lee Fitzpatrick 

and outside centre Rob Carney. 

In addition, the supporting cast is 

capable of competing well enough for 

those two to swing matches with big 

moments. 



There is hope that at least one of second 

row Reece Daly and flanker Alex 

Kinsella-Garcia can make it back in time 

from injury for the big day. 

Tighthead Henry Maher, lock Sean 

Killeen and captain Billy Hayes are well 

able to carry the fight and the lineout has 

improved from the first round. 

Out the back, scrum-half Fionn Carney is 

a canny operator and the sheer size of 

out-half Jack Deegan, inside centre Joe 

Finn and Carney is reason enough to be 

optimistic about the outcome. 

This is a difficult one to call on the 

evidence of what has gone before. It 

could go either way.

EXCLUSIVELY AT LIFE STYLE SPORTS

Story of the Season 2021/22 

St Michael’s 

college 

The JCT preparation for the 

season began in April of last 

year with gym and training 

sessions. 

Training soon paused for two 

months due to summer but picked 

up again in August with the 

annual summer camp. 

St Michael’s JCT season kicked off in 

September with wins against Bandon, 

Newbridge and future cup opponents 

Terenure. 

Their first loss of the season came against 

Clongowes with a score of 20-19 due to 

a late try. The team soon beat Ennis from 

Clare but also suffered their second loss 

of the season to CBC Cork in Cork. 

Michael’s then went on a seven-game 

winning streak going into Christmas 

beating teams such as PBC Cork, 

Blackrock and St Mary’s by relatively 

large margins. 

Following Christmas, they beat Munchins 

from Limerick by five decisive points but 

soon had suffered their third loss of the 

year to CBC Cork at home. 

Michael’s then beat Castletroy in Limerick 

and a month later played fellow finalists 



Roscrea, beating them 29-17, one week 

before cup kicked off. 

Going into the cup, Michael’s had a 

record of 13 wins and three losses. They 

played Castleknock in the first round, 

winning 7-6 with a late try from Ryan 

Greally and a conversion from captain 

Ethan Black. 

They then played Terenure in a quick 

turnaround for the quarter-finals beating 

them 30-7 with tries from Duinn Maguire, 

Daniel Ryan and David Willis (2), and 

two conversions and penalties from Ethan 

Black. 

They played Blackrock in a tight game 

on March 28 for the semi-finals, beating 

them 6-3 with two penalties from Ethan 

Black getting St Michael’s into the Junior 

Cup final and ending Blackrock’s hopes 

of a double. 

And they now play Roscrea in the final to 

win the Junior Cup for the first time since 

2019.

Story of the Season 2021/22 


college, Roscrea 

Coming into this year’s Junior 

Cup campaign there was no 

great expectation on our JCT 

for success. 

The disruption Covid-19 caused 

over the past two years meant 

that this group of players did not 

get the opportunity to share the 

field too often before the start of 

this academic year. 

The league campaign saw the team put 

in a number of big performances before 

succumbing to a strong Kilkenny College 

team in the quarter-final. They showed 

great character in shaking off this defeat 

in advance of the first round of the cup, 

believing they had the potential to make 

a big impact in the competition. 

The first round saw us take on last year’s 

winners, Newbridge College, in what 

was a fine display of rugby from both 

sides. 

Rob Carney and James Miller crossed 

the line for us that day while Jack 

Deegan added the spoils and a penalty. 

Newbridge never dropped their heads 

and with the score reading 17-12 in 

our favour the last five minutes made 

for a nervous finish as Newbridge 

continuously bombarded our five-metre 

line looking for a weak link. However, 

they did not find it and we marched on. 

While victory in the first round was 

sweet, the team knew there was plenty 

of room for improvement. Clongowes 

awaited us in the quarter-final and 

nothing short of our best would seal a 

victory. 

This match was hugely entertaining from 

start to finish with never more than seven 

points between the teams at any stage. 

Tries from Joe Finn and Fionn Higgins as 

well as points from the boot of Deegan 

saw us leading by three with 60 minutes 

played. 



The ball was kicked dead and we 

celebrated a win only to be told the 

clock was inaccurate, giving Clongowes 

a chance for one last attack. 

They seized it with both hands putting 

them two points up with two minutes to 

play. 

We restarted the game and forced a 

penalty 40 metres from the posts. The 

countless hours of practice Deegan has 

put in were not in vain as he calmly 

slotted the ball between the posts 

propelling us into a semi-final meeting 

with St Fintan’s. 

We came out of the blocks quickly that 

day, leading 22-0 at half-time courtesy 

of tries from captain Billy Hayes, Sam 

Cusack and two from our pocket rocket 

Fionn Higgins. 

A St Fintan’s onslaught in the second 

half followed, however an insurance try 

from Lee Fitzpatrick and conversion from 

Jack Deegan saw the game out and it 

finished up 29-21. 

This team has grown from strength to 

strength since the start of this campaign 

under the watchful eye of manager Alan 

Long, forwards coach Denis Rusu and 

Director of Rugby and CCR past-man 

and legend Sean O’Brien. 

From the first round, the team has played 

a brand of rugby which has been a 

joy to watch. The blend of skillful, fleetfooted 

backs with no shortage of power 

in the pack sees that we can mix it up 

front and spread it out wide. 

The depth of the panel is something to 

be admired. Although injuries sustained 

to Reece Daly and Alex Kinsella-Garcia 

were a blow, capable replacements 

were found in the form of Cillian Lewis 

and James Miller. 

Although our numbers in CCR are 

modest, the passion we have for rugby 

is there for all to see on cup days. 

As the boys of Roscrea pile into 

Energia Park and fill the air with chants 

of support, driving the team on from 

behind. This team has already written 

itself into CCR folklore as the first Junior 

Cup team to reach the final of this proud 

competition in 82 years. 

With the blessing of God they can be 

the first CCR team to win the cup in 83 

years. Come on lads, bring it home!
