🍀 #EnergiaAIL Round 18
Regular season is over with no changes on the table.
Tullow gets a surprising 2nd win, but since Cooke also won they still end at the bottom, and will face the relegation playoff.

The Irish are changing the format for next season 🍀 #EnergiaAIL
They will move from a 10 team league to 12, with a single round robin before splitting into title (top 6) and division (bottom 6) conference.
They also want quotas for provinces: 5 Leinster, 3 Munster, 2 Connacht, 2 Ulster
Cooke vs Wicklow Ennis vs Tullow Galwegians vs Ballincollig Old Belvedere vs Railway Union UL Bohemian vs Blackrock College
Last round for 🍀 #EnergiaAIL
At the bottom Tullow is 2 points behind Cooke, so they can still avoid relegation.
At the middle of the table Galwegians & Ballincollig playing for funsies.
And at the top, Old Belvedere will end 4th no matter what, but all the other positions could change.

🍀 #EnergiaAIL Round 17
Next-to-last round with no changes on the table.
Comfortable win for Ballincollig.
As expected, Blackrock deals with Belvo.
Railway surprises the leader, no longer undefeated.
Bottom placed Tullow finally gets a win, but is not enough.
And a draw for Wicklow & Galwegians.
This is some try by @ScorthyRugby today in the #EnergiaAIL . The Support play by 9&8 is so good. @theclubscenepod
Ballincollig vs Ennis Blackrock College vs Old Belvedere Railway Union vs UL Bohemian Tullow vs Cooke Wicklow vs Galwegians
Close games are expected at the🍀 #EnergiaAIL so positions could change.
Top 4, Bohemian, Blackrock, Railway & Belvedere to see who gets home semifinals.
Next 4, Galwegians, Wicklow, Ennis & Ballincollig already out of the fight.
And bottom 2 with Cooke 5 points above Tullow, so it's a must win.
Cooke vs Ballincollig 19–24 Galwegians vs Tullow 26–0 Ennis vs Wicklow 38–36 Blackrock College vs Railway Union 5–39 Old Belvedere vs UL Bohemian 22–41

🍀 #EnergiaAIL Round 16
Bonus wins for Ballincollig, Galwegians, and Ennis, although it changes nothing.
A bonus for Cooke, but bottom placed Tullow can still catch them and save themselves.
A big win for Railway in a match we may see again on semi-finals.
And no trouble for the leaders.
Cooke vs Ballincollig Galwegians vs Tullow Ennis vs Wicklow Blackrock College vs Railway Union Old Belvedere vs UL Bohemian

Just one exception, as Wicklow takes a bonus win against Old Belvedere, who is struggling on these last rounds.
Tullow vs Railway Union Wicklow vs Old Belvedere Ballincollig vs Blackrock College Galwegians vs Cooke UL Bohemian vs Ennis
The🍀 #EnergiaAIL is back after a small rest.
Top 4 visit lower ranked teams. They are all qualified for playoffs, but missed bonus or upsets could change their positions.
Meanwhile Galwegians, 5th but out of the run, receives 2nd to last Cooke, who needs points to make sure they avoid relegation.

🍀 #EnergiaAIL Round 14
4 rounds to go and top 4 have all secured playoffs.
A bit of a surprise as Old Belvedere narrowly defeats bottom placed Tullow, who got their 3rd point of the season.
A bigger surprise as Ennis defeats Galwegians and crushes the little hope they had left for reaching the top.
Old Belvedere vs Tullow Ennis vs Galwegians Railway Union vs Ballincollig Cooke vs UL Bohemian Blackrock College vs Wicklow
Round 14 at the 🍀 #EnergiaAIL and things are pretty much set in stone.
The top 4 should get their umpteenth win against teams of the bottom half of the table.
Meanwhile Galwegians (5th) are not out of the run yet but need to win everything and hope someone above them loses a bunch of times.
Cooke vs Ennis 27–31 Ballincollig vs Old Belvedere 7–55 Galwegians vs UL Bohemian 7–34 Tullow vs Blackrock College 0–60 Wicklow vs Railway Union 0–31

🍀 #EnergiaAIL Round 13
No surprises in Ireland.
Comfortable bonus wins for the top 4 making the gap with the rest bigger.
At the bottom half, 5 points for Ennis strengthening their 7th position while Cooke gets 2 bonus that helps them get away from bottom placed Tullow.
Match Day is here in the #EnergiaAIL at Takumi Park
Kick off is from 2.30pm and we welcome Banbridge to Limerick
Best of luck lads
#ocrfc #oldcrescentrfc #crescentrugby
Cooke vs Ennis Ballincollig vs Old Belvedere Galwegians vs UL Bohemian Tullow vs Blackrock College Wicklow vs Railway Union
At the 🍀 #EnergiaAIL
Tullow (10th) and Ballincollig (8th) host 2 top4 teams, so a perfect opportunity for Cooke (9th) to get away from the former and closer to the latter.
Galwegians finally ended their 6 loss streak, but have now the leader.
And Railway will probably be a bit too much for Wicklow.
Our Match Fixtures for our Senior teams in the club this week! Action packed is an understatement!
Best of luck to all teams in action
