It was a good day for IT Carlow's Rugby club yesterday (22 March) at the
Mardyke, UCC as their senior men teams claimed all three CUSAI IRFU Men's
College's Rugby League division titles.

The day got off to a perfect start for IT Carlow with a hard fought 21
10 win over a committed NCI team in the Division 3 final. This victory was
quickly followed up by a 20 points to 8 win over ITT Dublin; however the
final scoreline does not reflect the huge effort put in by the IT Tallaght
lads.

IT Carlow's dominance of this year's senior league was complete with a
brilliant 23 20 win over Athlone IT in the Division 1 final. The final
scoreline of 23 20 is a good indicator to how close this match was
throughout with Carlow just holding out in what was an excellent game of
rugby.

Next up now for IT Carlow Rugby club in the CUSAI IRFU Mens Colleges
League is the final of the Fresher's O Boyle Cup where they take on NUI
Maynooth.
