Congratulations to D4Es local team Leinster who made a memorable Heineken Cup win with a five-try defeat over provincial rivals Ulster at Twickenham this weekend.

Taking the title for a third time in four years, Leinster underlined their pedigree with a record winning margin in a final and they also became the first team to go through a nine-match Heineken Cup campaign unbeaten.

Congratulations to St Michael’s College on winning the Leinster Schools Senior Cup. Last weekend saw St. Michael’s play Clongowes Wood College in the Leinster Schools Senior Cup final at the RDS in Dublin. The final score was 17 – 10 to St. Michaels. Congratulations to them, particularly to their coaches, Kelvin Leahy and Shane Hunt, who are in charge of D4E’s successful rugby programme over the last three years.
