OFFICIAL LEINSTER SUPPORTERS CLUB PRO 14 FINAL GUIDE LEINSTER v ULSTER Saturday 12th September 2020 OFFICIAL LEINSTER SUPPORTERS CLUB LEINSTER v ULSTER WHAT A RETURN! Saturday 28th September 2019 was when it all began for us in the 2019/20 Guinness PRO14 Championship and who could’ve imagined how the rest of the scheduled season and fixtures would’ve played out. When referee Ben Whitehouse blew the final whistle that evening in Stadio Monigo, it was GETTING TO DUBLIN AIRPORT Dave Kearney getting the plaudits as his hat-trick of tries on the evening helped us overcome a tricky 14 man Benetton Rugby side on a score-line of 32 – 27. The juggernaut continued for us right through to Friday 28th Feb of this year and with our 13th victory of the campaign that evening, after discarding Glasgow 55-19 (another hat-trick there for Dave), it was time to switch focus for some players to Ireland duty while others would hold the fort so to speak at the top of the table for Leinster. We don’t need to go into detail of what happened next as we are all aware of the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on society right around the world, but after a layoff of 174 or so days, PRO14 rugby was back, in ironically August again, and we were all giddy with excitement! In the 3 weeks we have been back, we have defeated Munster twice as well as our opponents for this evening (Ulster) once. That victory was secured on a score-line of 28-10 and Ulster suffered a serious case of Byrne fever on the night, with just the other 5pts coming from a player not a Byrne – Scott Penny.
