Great write up on Max Deegan.
"Max Deegan and Jordan Larmour once formed a centre partnership for the Wanderers’ Under-12 minis, were reunited after school in the colours of Leinster and on Saturday at the Aviva stadium are likely to share pitch time at senior test level."

Yikes. Final whistle blows and we’ve squeaked home 35-31 with 5 tries apiece. Fair play to Corinthians who came hard in the second half - it was the cliched game of two halves. A host of bonus points but not sure either dressing room will be happy

We would like to extend our sympathies to the family & friends of Wally Bornemann - a former member, player and coach of Wanderers who also represented Leinster and Ireland. Rest in Peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of former Ireland international Wally Bornemann who passed away earlier this month.
He captained
@WanderersFC1870
in 61/62 and 62/63 and won the 1st of his 4 caps against England in 1960.
May he rest in peace.
