Firsts
The firsts had their first
outing of the season when they took on Clanwilliam from Tipperary on Saturday
evening after the Junior Interprovincial. It was a tough game, especially for
the forwards who faced a seriously strong Clanwilliam front five but more than
held their own in the loose. It what was an entertaining game the firsts came
out on top thanks to a hat trick of tries from Darren Clancy and further tries
from Ian Placey and Paul Coady. Another interesting note was the performance on
their debuts by Tadgh Kirby and Enda Murphy. Well-done lads.
Training continues for all
first and second team players on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. The teams are
currently preparing for a busy season that begins in October. Given the fact
that the season has reverted back to the once only format as regards games in
the Connacht junior league, an optimistic attitude is currently in the club.
Anyone interested in joining the panel to train are asked to contact any
committee member.
Junior
interprovincial
It was also a special day
for the club with the junior interprovincial between Connacht and Ulster being
held in Cloondeash. Unfortunately it did not go the Connacht lad’s way with
Connacht being defeated after a tough game. Well done to Alex and Mike and Kevin
for representing the club with pride.
Underage news
Underage training will begin
again for the new season very shortly so all underage players are asked to start
getting some pre season training done as it is going to be a very busy season.
those interested in helping in any way are asked to contact any committee member
or contact the number at the bottom of the page for more
details.
