Having won the festival outright last year, this year’s Leinster U’13’s have started their 2013 King’s College, Taunton campaign on a very high note winning their first three games against full English counties. Victories against Yorkshire, Gloucestershire and Kent has set the squad up for possible back-to-back festival victories.
Today’s win over Cornwall leaves them top of the table standing just one victory from the remarkable achievement of retaining the Taunton Under 13 county festival title.
A welcome visitor to yesterday’s game was former Leinster U’13’s player George Dockrell who spent time with the players and coaching staff.
