Season Recap
Regular Season Recap
Wexford Eagles were almost unchallenged during the 2023 AFI Division 2 regular season, winning all six games, and outscoring opponents 194-21, with Causeway Giants lucky to finish in second place after the late-season collapse of Trinity College Dublin, who forfeited their last two games, including one home game versus the Causeway Giants. The Giants finished 3-3, one game ahead of TCD on 2-4, with the North Dublin Pirates finishing on 1-5 in fourth, their one victory a walkover versus Trinity. [References: S-1]
