Leinster Towns Cup

Swords 0 Naas 11

Moral victories don't even come in to it. Swords can feel rightly aggrieved to not be in the hat for the next round of the Towns Cup after a performance of the highest quality at ALSAA on Sunday. This had nothing to do with Read More...

 

Trench Warfare!!

CYM 0 Swords 13

On a day more suited to mud wrestling than rugby, Swords grinded out their fifth win of the season away to CYM on Sunday. The fact that the game went ahead was a feat in itself, as the glue top surface ensured the words ‘running rugby' would not be uttered upon reflection. Dropped passes and scrums were the order of the day, but Read More...

Swords Edged out in Fingal Derby

Balbriggan RFC 17 Swords RFC 16

Life's a game of inches. The famous motto of Al Pacino's character in the American Football movie ‘Any Given Sunday' never rang truer than at Balrothery last weekend. But this wasn't just any... Read More...

Swords Go Down Fighting in Arklow

Arklow 31 Swords 20

Swords' promotion hopes took a dent with defeat in Arklow on Sunday, in a game they should have taken more from. In conditions more suitable for windsurfing than rugby, the Greens leaked three first half tries, which left them playing catch up for the remainder of the game. That said, they went on to outscore the hosts in the second half and in the end were left ruing... Read More...

Swords Cut Down Malahide

Swords 21 Malahide 5

The Auld Triangle rang out around ALSAA a little louder than usual on Sunday, as Swords celebrated a fine win over bitter rivals Malahide.

Four Try Swords Leave Birr In The Cold

Swords 24 Birr 5

Swords Fail To Reach The Summit In Wicklow Mountains

Rathdrum 15 Swords 9

A bonus point proved scant consolation for a game which, on another day, Swords should have easily won. As it was, poor decision making and basic errors cost them three points and left them ruing a wasted trip to Wicklow. Swords led.. Read More..

Anderson Cup

Swords 8 Portlaoise 24

TWO LATE tries in the second half gave Portlaoise a healthy winning margin over Swords seconds in the Anderson Cup on Sunday, but the home side can feel rightly aggrieved at the difference in the scoreline. The.... Read More

Keating conversion hands ALSAA narrow win at Bective

ALSAA's seconds made amends for the recent cup defeat of their first XV with a narrow win away to Bective on Saturday. On a glue-top surface, full-back Peter Keating's conversion was the difference between the sides. Any rugby purists in attendance would have surely winced at the state of play as the playing surface Read More...

Swords Minis Up and Running

Mini rugby is the latest sport to hit Swords with the launch of Swords Rugby Club's juvenile section last Saturday.

Gormly Building for the Future

Ireland's miserable Rugby World Cup campaign did little or nothing to inspire youngsters to pick up the oval ball, expect perhaps encouraging those who reckon they could have done a better job. That may have made Jamie Gormly's job... Read More...

Reilly Aims For the Blue of Leinster

HE'S a six foot redhead, glad in green, the leader of his pack and he has a big year of rugby ahead of him - and he's not Paul O'Connell. While Dave Reilly will have one eye on his idol and the World Cup this autumn, he'll have plenty of action to concentrate on himself, both on and off the pitch. The 17 year old River Read More...
