Wet weather caused serious disruption to the opening round of the Leinster Senior Cup this week. Only four of the eight games were played as the Blackrock-Monkstown and Gonzaga-King's Hospital games were pushed back until next Monday, while the St. Michael's-Terenure and the St. Gerard's-St. Mary's games take place tomorrow. Here were yesterday's results.
Belvedere 28 - 3 Wesley College
Newbridge College 14 - 3 Cistercian, Roscrea

Castleknock College 15 - 15 St. Andrew's
Belvedere 28 - 3 Wesley College

Ciaran Clifford, Belvedere College, is tackled by Jonathan Hopkins, Wesley College.
Belvedere were becoming very cavalier at this point, and allowed their mascot, who appears to be some sort of panda, take one of the conversion. Retro sight of young lad steadying the ball with his finger

Clongowes 34 - 15 Kilkenny College
The 2010 champions ran in five tries to see off Kilkenny College in Maynooth. Tries from James Lappin, Mark Jones, Jake Kennedy, and two from Cian O'Donoghue helping Clongowes to victory.
Fairly effective hand-off from Kilkenny's Ben Deverell. It's unclear if John Molony had his gum shield in. Hopefully
