Report

Ireland had to qualify for the IRB Rugby World Cup in 1999, along with England, Scotland, and Italy, as France and Wales were the only countries from the Europe Zone given an automatic Qualification Berth based on prior World Cup performances.

Ireland were placed in Pool 1 and automatically qualified for Round C. Ukraine had qualified from Round A in Pool 1 and went through to Round B with Italy and Georgia who both qualified for Round C.

In round C Ireland started off with an easy 70-0 in over Georgia, and then after Georgia lost to Romania by the slender margin of 23-27, Ireland just had to defeat Romania in their last Pool match to top their Pool but made heavy work of defeating Romania, 53-35 in a high-scoring game, as both teams qualified for the Rugby World Cup.

Meanwhile in Pool 2, England scored a record 110-0 win over Netherlands and then struggled against Italy, winning 23-15 as they both qualified. In Pool 3 Scotland made light work of Spain and Portugal, with Spain getting the other qualification place.

The IRB (International Rugby Board) governs World Rugby Union, and the 1999 World Cup was the fourth edition.

Report

There were two professional soccer leagues in North America in 1967, both attempting at the same time to bring Pro Soccer to USA & Canada. The United Soccer Association was the FIFA-sponsored league and featured teams from Europe and South America guesting as North American teams over a Summer Schedule in between their normal Winter schedules. It included Shamrock Rovers (playing as Boston Rovers) and Glentoran (playing as Detroit Cougars). The other league was the National Professional Soccer League, and after the season the two leagues merged in 1968 to form the North American Soccer League which lasted until 1984.

Among the Rovers players over in Boston were Liam Tuohy, Frank O’Neill, Paddy Mulligan, Davy Pugh ad Tommy Kelly.

The side also included Carlos Metidieri, A Brazilian-born USA International, as gueat player, and his younger brother, Gilson.

After the merger with the NPSL, the Boston Rovers side became the Boston Beacons, a team in its own right, but kept the link with Shamrock Rovers. Paddy Mulligan was loaned out to the Beacons side in 1968 by Shamrock Rovers, but most of the team returned, and the side lost its mainly Irish make-up. [Reference: 4]

Report

East Coast Cruisers from Greystones in Co. Wicklow lived up to their name in the Volleyball association of Ireland Premier-32 Women League in 2001-02 winning all 14 games, dropping only 3 sets all year.

Northside finished second with 12 wins and 38 Points, four points behind the Wicklow side, but were no match in the deciding games between the two sides, although that was no reflection on the Dublin team as the East Coast Cruisers of the late 1990s and early 2000s were one of the best Women’s Volleyball teams of all-time in the VAI Leagues.

Report

The Volleyball Association of Ireland was rebranded Volleyball Ireland in 2017, and the Division 2 Women (Division or Level 3 in Ireland) was won in 2017-18 by Munster Thunder who dropped only the one set on the way to a 10 wins from 10 games, 30 point season.

There was widespread change in the composition of the Division for 2018-19 with some new teams and some teams being promoted to Division 1 and replaced in Division 2 by relegated teams. Santry won the Division that year, winning all 10 games also en route to a 30-point season, although not in as convincing style, as they dropped 12 sets in total, nonetheless it was still a remarkable feat.#

For 2019-20 the Division jumped to 9 teams from 6, as expansion in the regions brought in Kilkenny Spartans VC and Longford Smashers from Leinster, and the addtion of a second Munster Thunder team (the first team of the Limerick side played in the Premier). The season was cut short, however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, which brought the cancellation of all sporting activity. The Naas Cobras were out in front with 37 points from 13 matches (12 wins and one loss), 7 ahead of Munster Thunder’s seconds team in second place when the league finished.
