Leinster Schools Cup to be broadcast in full by Premier Sports and online portal

All 15 games of the Leinster Senior Schools Cup will be broadcast live this year.

Premier Sports and VOTN (Videos on the Net) will share the broadcasting when the tournament kicks off on February 13, when champions St Michael's face Blackrock College at Energia Park.

Eight games will be broadcast on Premier Sports TV, with the rest of the matches being shown online through Leinster Rugby's partnership with VOTN.

The first match streamed online will be the clash of Kilkenny College and Presentation Bray on February 14.

All four quarter-finals, both semi-finals and final will be exclusively live on Premier Sports.

Philip Lawlor, Head of the Rugby Department at Leinster Rugby said: "The last six months or so have posed many obstacles not least accessibility to our games with no crowds allowed and thanks to our friends in Videos on the Net, and with the cooperation of the Leinster Rugby Schools Committee and indeed the competing schools, we were able to stream some games in the Junior Cup and this was a very worthwhile exercise."

Michael O’Rourke, CEO of Premier Sports, commented, “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with Leinster Rugby and broadcast the Bank of Ireland Leinster Rugby Schools Senior Cup this year.

“The standard of the competition is incredibly high and we’re looking forward to showcasing the next generation of future Irish rugby stars.”
