***Win of the Week***
Our Senior 1sts & 2nds hosted Lansdowne at home in Ashbrook in the Moran Cup and without any proper competitive action in a while, the squad were itching to go for cup action.

SeniorsSenior 1 & 2 no game.
1sts lost to Malahide Thursday 9th February last in the Spencer cup final.
Dr Kieran Foley cup final
Coolmine IVs vs Stillorgan II
Hard luck to our new IVs - the Wildebeests- who in their first season managed to get to a cup final only to come against a strong Stillorgan side who carried off the cup south over the Liffey much to the dismay of the Northsoiders. Early first half indiscipline cost the Castleknock side dearly and despite a hard fought 2nd half the early scores by Stillorgan were a step too far. But thankfully there was a watering hole nearby for the Mighty Beests to drown their sorrows as they can never be too far from one in this weather. Coolmine 3rds played the annual and eventful Castleknock Cup vs Castleknock College coaches and past men.
Youths
U16s lost out to Athy in a top of the premier table clash and have work to do if they are to get their season back in shape and build on their blitzgreig of this age grade last season where they won all competitions. Boyne conceded the league fixture to our U18s at the weekend while our U17s secured a semi final spot with a 38-10 win over DLSP.
U15s beat Ashbourne in a friendly while the barnstorming U14s saw off a spirited Old Wesley side in the wintery Dublin hills Sunday morning.
Congratulations to all Coolmine past men who played in Donnybrook for Belvedere College's victory vs St Michaels in the quarter finals of the Leinster Senior Cup on Sunday. Coolmine RFC have a long tradition of nurturing talent that go on to great success with the school and last year’s successful half back pairing of Paraic Cagney and David Hawkshaw both line up again for the city centre school. Oran O’Brien and Mark Donnelly started & scored in their first outing against St Andrew’s and well done to all for their performance to overcome their old adversaries on the Merrion Road.
