Connacht Schools Junior Cup - 2010 Competition

2010 Competition

Calasanctius completed a junior league and cup double after winning their 2nd cup title (and two in a row) by 17 points to 5 after facing a strong Rice College team in search of their 1st ever title who played their 2nd final this year after losing the Development Cup final to Clifden CS (13-7) earlier this season.

The format of the competition is different in 2010 than it was in 2009. In 2009 every team played in the Junior Cup with the teams who lost their first game playing in the Development Cup. In 2010 16 play in the Development Cup with the two finalists playing in the Junior Cup along with six other teams.
