U17s into League Final
Weekly Newsletter (4-11 Mar)
GENERAL UPDATES
Always remember your support is key to the team’s success.
The 1st XV were on the wrong side of the result in a very open and exciting 11 try League match against Suttonians last Saturday. However, our 2nd XV won the League for the 4th consecutive season with one game remaining. Well done to Capt. Ben Ryan and to all the players.
Unfortunately, a Bective player suffered a serious leg injury during the game, and we wish Adam Doyle a full and speedy recovery.
Our last league game of the season is on Sunday away to Ashbourne.
1st XV: Bective 31 - Suttonians 41

Also, great news from our Youths/Mini’s as the Bective U17’s have qualified for the Leinster League Final after their fantastic semi-final win over Clontarf on the front pitch last Sunday.
The Annual Dinner hosted by President Michael Shalloe went ahead last Friday, despite the snow, with a full house and a great night was had by all.
