History: Team founded in 2008 as Dublin Rhinos, posting a 1-7 record in first season, then as West Dublin Rhinos from 2009 onwards they improved steadily behind a strong defense that helped them reach the playoffs in 2010 with a 3-3-2 record, winning their first game ever in the playoffs before falling in the Semi-Finals. They stayed around mid-table for most of the next four years, reaching the playoffs twice before being relegated to the IAFL 1 Conference after a 1-7 record in 2015. In the 1 Conference they built up their team again, winning the Conference with a 3-game playoff run in 2018 which saw them earn their first, and so far only honour, the 1 Bowl, defeating former Shamrock Bowl Champions Craigavon Cowboys 16-14. Back in the Shamrock Bowl Conference for 2019 they finished 7th of 8 with a 2-6 record. The 2020 season was cancelled due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic.

Report

Corrib Celtic and Corrib Rangers duelled from 2017 to 2019 for the Galway Football Association Ladies Senior League title. In 2017 the two teams were so evenly matches they went to a playoff in Eamonn Deacy Park, which Corrib Celtic won 3-1. The following season however Rangers took the League with 27 points from their 10 games to Celtic’s 24. Bearna na Forbacha were replaced for the 2019 season by Colemanstown United, and Corrib Celtic won the Championship back. Cregmore/Claregalway FC were their closest challengers that season as Corrib Rangers slipped back to third. For the 2020 season Dunmore Town replaced Athenry but the season was cut short due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. the 2020-21 season was intended to run Autumn-Spring rather than a Summer League and featured new additions Kiltullagh and East Galway United. The Senior League was renamed the EZ Living Furntiture Ladies Premier League for sponsorship reasons.

Report

There were no big shocks in the 1999 Rugby World Cup Americas Zone qualifying with seeded teams Argentina, Canada and USA qualifying for the Finals out of Round D ahead of Uruguay who had progressed to Round D. The 12 Countries were seeded into one of four Rounds, with 6 countries starting in Round A, from which Trinidad & Tobago and Bermuda progressed from the two groups. The Caribbean Island which shares St. Patrick’s Day as its National Holiday, Barbados (virtually all Barbadians are descendents of Irish and African slaves), lost both their matches to Bahamas (23-37) and Bermuda (3-52). Round B saw Chile progess to Round C, where they made a minor shock in defeating Paraguay, but it was Uruguay who progessed with a 20-14 defeat of the Chileans. Round D opened with Argentina winning big over USA and Canada defeating Uruguay. The only close mzatch in Round D was USA’s 21-16 win over Uruguay in the 3rd Round of matches which decided the third team to go through to the Finals along with Round winners Argentina and Runners-Up Canada. Uruguay Qualified for the Repechage.

Report

The Seven Asia Zone Qualifying teams played three Rounds to decide the team to represent Asia at the 1999 Rugby World Cup. Sri Lanka progressed from Round A after wins over Thailand and Singapore, and in Round B nearly pulled off a shock, defeating Malaysia and narrowly losing (27-31) to Chinese Taipei, who went through to Round C having won convincingly over Malaysia. There they met Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong, and despite a shock win over Hong Kong were completely outclassed by both South Korea and Japan, losing 6-134 to the latter in the biggest score and highest margin of victory in the qualifying tournament. Japan went on to Qualify with easy wins over Hong Kong and South Korea, who despite losing to Hong Kong went through to the Repechage Tournament by virtue of their 81-21 win over Chinese Taipei.
