  • RD PRO12 Peview Round 9
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2012/13 Round Nine: 23rd – 25th November 2012 ROUND NINE PREVIEWS With the completion of their postponed Round 4 game against Zebre, Ulster have now pulled out a six points lead at the top of the RaboDirect PRO12 table. They are in action in Italy again on Friday night when they face Benetton Treviso at Stadio Monigo, and will be looking to extend their unbeaten record in the country as well as maintaining their 100per cent start to this season’s RaboDirect PRO12. Current RaboDirect PRO12 champions, Ospreys, are also in action on Friday night travelling to Murrayfield to play Edinburgh Rugby. Ospreys sit just outside the top four due to poorer points difference than Munster, should results go their way this weekend it could be the first time they have entered the Play-Off zone this season. The match of the day must be the encounter at Scotstoun where third placed Glasgow Warriors must overcome the reigning European champions, Leinster if they are to set a new Warriors record in this tournament of seven successive wins. The final game on Friday night is in Wales when Newport Gwent Dragons host Connacht. Both teams have had a mixed start to their seasons, and a win would be a welcome boost to their campaigns. The round concludes with two games on Sunday, Munster v Scarlets and Zebre v Cardiff Blues. After having narrowly missed out to Ulster last weekend, Zebre are still looking for their first win in the completion, and will be hoping Blues poor form continues for one more week.

  • GAA Club – Overview
    CIT Student GAA Club – Overview Camogie – Gaelic Football – Hurling – Ladies Gaelic Football - Handball As befits a County with Cork’s tradition in Gaelic Games, GAA has occupied a central role in the development of sport in the Cork Institute of Technology. The Cork Regional Technical College, as it was formally known until its change of title in 1997 to Cork Institute of Technology, first occupied its Bishopstown campus in September 1974. The new college buildings were officially opened by that great Cork GAA exponent and Taoiseach of the day, Mr. Jack Lynch, in December 1977. A student GAA football team was formed in 1975 and the hurling team commenced playing activities in 1976. In the same way the campus has evolved and expanded so too has the GAA Club which as well as being the oldest sporting club at the Institute, with over 400 active members is also the biggest.

  • Rabodirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS ROUND 15 FIXTURES
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 15: 20th – 23rd February 2014 ROUND 15 PREVIEWS With the international weekend kicking off on Friday night, the majority of the RaboDirect PRO12 games take place on Sunday, however Cardiff Blues open round 15 with their game against current champions, Leinster at the Arms Park on Thursday evening and if past form is any guide Cardiff will have their work cut out to claim victory in this match. The sole game on Saturday is also in Wales with Edinburgh Rugby visiting Llanelli to play Scarlets, who missed out last round due to the weather in Belfast. The Scots do not travel well, so Scarlets must be hoping to put their own home record back on track in this fixture. The remaining four games take place on Sunday, with a TV double header in Italy, Benetton Treviso hosting Ulster and Zebre facing another Irish province, Connacht. Connacht’s victory over Edinburgh last time out saw them swap places with Zebre at the foot of the table, which could be reversed if Zebre claim this tie. Ulster on the other hand will be hoping they can make up some ground on the teams above them in the Play-Off zone. At the same time the remaining two Welsh regions will be in action in the principality. Newport Gwent Dragons opponents’ Glasgow Warriors, currently sit in 4th place in the table courtesy of one more win than Ulster, and still have two games in hand over the three teams above them. The outstanding game must be the pick of the weekend, leaders Munster travelling to face 3rd placed Ospreys, who claimed a record victory over Treviso in their last game at the Liberty Stadium.

  • RD PRO12 Preview Round 16
    RaboDirect PRO12 PREVIEW 2013/14 Round 16: 28th February & 1st March 2014 ROUND 16 PREVIEWS Round 16 of the RaboDirect PRO12 is the last of a run of four straight rounds that could help define a team’s season before international rugby once more takes centre stage. The focus will now be on achieving a top four placing, thereby qualifying for the end of season Play-Offs and the chance to be crowned champions. At present 6 teams appear to be contesting the Play-Off places and two of those are in action against each other in the last game of the round on Saturday night, when Glasgow Warriors travel to Dublin to face Leinster. Warriors have already beaten their hosts once this season, a victory could start them off on another sequence of away wins after Dragons ended their record run last time out. Also on Saturday evening table topping Munster travel to 6th placed Scarlets, and the home team must claim the points if they are to have any chance of making a successful late bid for the Play-Off Zone. The third and fourth placed teams are both in action on Friday night, Ulster welcoming Newport Gwent Dragons to Ravenhill whilst Ospreys travel to Edinburgh to play at Boroughmuir’s Meggetland ground. Dragons may have defeated Ulster in Wales, but will find it a much tougher prospect in Belfast as the home side have lost there just once in 12 months. Ospreys are another team not afraid to travel and will hope their ratio of more wins on the road that at home will continue for this trip.

  • A Word from the Headmaster
    The BelvedereSummer Edition 2017 | AMDG NEWS A WORD FROM THE HEADMASTER s I write the sun is shining, students have returned from Greece and Zambia with their teachers and the exams are Ain their final phase. It is a busy time and in a sense there is no “winding down” in Belvedere as the summer schools and Theatre head into a busy summer schedule. So, the Newsletter is a welcome opportunity to look back on a year of achievement, excitement, sadness and joy. I want to thank Joanne Ryan for the tremendous work done in ensuring the Newsletter is a wonderful snapshot of many, though not all of, the activities and experiences students have engaged in. I hope it conveys the energy and enthusiasm of all those engaged in the life of the College. None of this would be possible without the generosity of spirit of the College staff who are willing to give of their time and talent to ensure that education in the broadest sense engages our students and gives them an opportunity to discover their talents. Thanks also to the wonderful support of the parents and past pupils whose energy and generosity make sure that students have such wonderful opportunities. The Board of Management, chaired by Brian Owens, faced into a year with many challenges, including national industrial action, the development of the Masterplan, which will ensure our facilities will be outstanding, and the continued development of education in the College. The appointment process for two additional Deputies was demanding and the calibre of applicants was excellent.
