Results:
2nd XV: Bective 30 - Gorey 8. The 2nds had a great 5 try bonus point win on Friday night in Donnybrook. The team are 6 points clear at the top of the table now with just 2 games left, so are in great shape to retain the title.
3rd XV: Tullamore 43 Bective 5. Unfortunately, this was always going to be a tough fixture away against a provincial side on a Sunday. That said, the scoreline did not reflect the efforts of the Bective players.

Corporate International Lunch
The first Corporate International Lunch of the season took place at the newly refurbished Bective Pavilion before the Welsh match last Saturday.

Our guest speaker was Ex Ireland and British & Irish Lions Rugby International Luke Fitzgerald and with John asking the questions, we got an enjoyable insight into Luke’s career at the top of the international game.
