We went along to the Club Academy Festival at Academy RFC on Wednesday night to see how this new initiative is getting on.

The matches were hosted at Roughfort by Academy RFC. It featured Academy Academy (yes I know), Instonians Academy and Queen’s University Academy with the three teams playing two 30 minute games each.
Academy against Queen’s was the first game and it was a pretty tense one. there were a few handling errors . . .
