Castlebar Rag Rugby Update
The 2006 Castlebar Rag Rugby tournament has reached the final stage with the semi finals and finals scheduled for this Thursday August 10th kicking off at 7pm. But the question of who will meet in the semi finals was still to be answered before the last round of group games.
Pool one was predicted as an interesting group last week and it proved that way. All eyes were on the clash of Caseys and Symphony Kitchens which was won by just a single try. But the draw in the second game, combined with the Castle Inn’s two wins means that the Castle Inn finish second in pool one by virtue of having won more games. An incredible achievement.
In pool two, Killary one continued their great run into the semi final where they will be joined by the other group winners. The real fun happens below them; where Bar one a Looney tunes will fancy their chances in their respective semi finals. In pool three club Physio go into the cup semi final after a great run. Second place ended up with Ray’s just edging out Oliver Kelleher’s on points while in Pool four first place on the table finished with the impressive Mighty Ducks.
As a result of all the games the draw for the semi finals next Thursday night have been finalised and we are in for a very exciting end to the tournament. The cup semi finals will feature the top four teams in their groups. These teams have impressed with their style of play and are evenly matched so these games are certainly ones to look out for. But the same can be said about all semi finals as it can be agreed that all games will be very tight to call. The semi finals kick off at 7pm with the finals starting at 8.15. after the rugby, Castlebar RFC are holding a barbecue and celebration disco to bring the curtain down on a very successful Rag Rugby Tournament and in some respects pulls the curtain up on the start of the Rugby season.
