NEWS OF THE PAST
AT TIME OF GOING TO PRESS no report of the activities of the Union for the
year 1993-4 is available. A good time, perhaps, to use space to introduce w hat
might well become a regular feature of the Record: brief items of new s about
the Past. Contributions gratefully accepted in the future! Here, in no particular
order, are this year’s cullings.
Andrew Donovan (’86) has completed two very successful seasons as captain
of the UCD Irst XV, in both of which they won the Colours Match. Last year he
skippered the team to the top of the Third Division of the All Ireland League.
The team was, of course, coached by Bobby Byrne. In the current season he has
captained the combined Irish Universities’ team to a victory over the USA. At
the editor’s request he has begun collecting details of the achievements in rugby
of other members of the Past, with the promise of an article in a future issue - a
promise to which the editor intends to hold him! Any information - especially
photographs - will be gladly received.
