Rugby Fixtures: April 14-16

…Clontarf winger Niall O’Brien has his run halted by St. Mary’s College full-back Barry Lynn during the sides’ recent Leddin Finance Leinster Senior Cup final clash at the RDS. The Dubliners meet again on Saturday in AIB League Division One with ‘Tarf looking for their ninth straight league win and Mary’s a bit of solice after two cup final defeats on the trot (Cork Constitution got the better of them – 37-12 – in last Saturday’s AIB Cup final). Can Mary’s bounce back at home this weekend?…
