Recap

Dublin Celts got their season off to a winning start with a 28-6 defeat o Jordanstown Jaguars at Wanderers Rugby Club.

The Jaguars faced another power in Irish Gridiron Football the following week when they hosted Belfast Blitzers, early favourites for the title having defeated East Side Jets 92-0 in their opening game the previous week.
