Cherryfield hosted a 90th birthday party for Brother Joe Cleary. His sisters Maura and Sally came up from the family home in Sandymount to enjoy the cake, the music provided by two Gonzaga boys, and the sense of affection and gratitude to Joe for the extraordinary constancy and good spirits with which he has served the Lord and cheered up so many of his brethren.- Leinster rugby’s victory over Saracens in the Heineken cup featured six Jesuit alumni: Fergus McFadden (Clongowes), Cian Healy (Belvedere), Dominic Ryan (Gonzaga), Kevin McLaughlin, Eoin O’Malley (Belvedere) and Eoin Reddan (Crescent). Dominic Ryan contributed two tries, and Eoin O’Malley one, to Leinster’s 43-20 victory.
