Another solid performance. We maintained the intensity from start to finish. Discipline better. Still lots to work on but we are firmly going in the right direction - Well done!

Excellent team performance by P18. We controlled the game from start to finish, kept our shape, and provided a solid platform for the backs. The impact players came on and maintained the intensity and physicality. Uppskoping tried to come back at the beginning of the second half, but we dug in and kept attacking, forcing them to fall away by the end of the game. We still need to improve, but it was a fantastic effort—well done!

Team,

Excellent start to our pre-season game in Denmark. We're really pleased to see the team spirit has carried on from where we ended last season in Ireland — working hard for each other, team first. What was particularly impressive was the work off the ball: players making tackles, winning the contact, and driving the Danes back into their half. Final score: 41–7 to Exiles.

We're really excited to see this team play and are sure you will all go far this season.

A big thanks to Karl, our manager, for planning the trip so efficiently and well — and also to Hannibal for guiding us through Copenhagen and bringing loads of Danish supporters! Film to be posted shortly.

Let's keep training hard over the next two weeks ahead of our trip to Malmö.

Team,

What a season! We started with all kinds of problems and depleted numbers, but we grew stronger by recruiting new players and never doubting ourselves. We worked hard in all aspects of the game. Despite facing injuries, we still managed to reach two finals and had a clean sweep on our tour to Ireland. Even when we received only criticism and no outside help, you showed remarkable mental resilience, passion, and belief in one another—qualities that not even the Leinster metro finalists could overcome.

Every player stepped up and fought for the team. As coaches, we could not ask for more. We faced challenges in the finals due to injuries and poor officiating, but just imagine how strong we could have been if our team had been fully fit all season!

We bounced back again and again, demonstrating discipline, structure, and unwavering resilience. The last two matches were a pleasure to watch: great attacking rugby, solid defense, and matching the quality, intensity, and skill of a team that had just beaten Black Rock in the semi-finals and plays rugby every weekend.

Let no one diminish your achievements or your personal and team development. You all know what it means to have your backs against the wall and the grit it takes to play without reserves while managing injuries. We are not only proud of the way you played but also of your polite and respectful behavior off the pitch.

Hold your heads high and take a well-earned break, but remember to keep fit for next season!

Close match v URK but we scrapped a win. Good metal toughness to stay in the game and come back but we need to improve moving forward.
