The season’s games wrapped up with the North Munster Cups for the U15 and U18 squads this evening with two great wins.
The U15’s kicked off this great evening’s entertainment with a comeback from a 10-0 lead by Newcastle West after twenty five minutes with a try by Aaron Costelloe. Second half started with a big push with Bruff really straightening their running lines and much improved all round. Five minutes in full back Paul Doona ran a great looping run from midfield, backing himself to burn three Newcastle tacklers on the outside and finishing in the corner levelling the game at ten points apiece. Ten minutes later he scored his second to win the final by 15 points to 10, This was the first time to beat NCW in their last five outings and was a great display by both sides.
The U18’s had Shannon and to be fair took this game by the scruff off the neck early on. Tries by Andrew Whyte and Barry Enright, with Barry slotting over a conversion for his own against one Shannon penalty gave Bruff a 12-3 lead going into the break. An early try in the second half by Cathal O’ Rourke created a little daylight between the scores but at this stage Shannon were very strong in attack and with ten minutes to go after a Second try by Whyte and conversion by Barry Enright to a converted try to Shannon it was looking a little hairy. But Bruff finished very strongly and with a final try by Paul Browne and the conversion by Enright Bruff withstood the final assaults by shannon who ran in one further consolation try.
Final Score Bruff 31 Shannon 17.
U15’s Vs Newcastle West kicks off at 6:30 p.m. in kilballyowen and the U18 Final kicks off at 7:30. p.m.
Good luck to both of these teams, they’ve had a great season.
With a first half score of 6-5 to Bruff this looked like being a bit of a slog at half time, Nenagh went ahead just after the break with a penalty but early in the second half Bruff took control and managed to run in 3 tries and score two conversions. Nenagh finished with a late consolation try to finish up at 25-13.
U15’s put away St. Senans in the cup semi-final to make a final appearance and tomorrow night sees the U18’s play Richmond in Bruff under lights. K.O. @ 7:00 p.m.
Just want to take this opportunity to wish all of the players involved in all games this weekend the very best.
Have a good one guys, you are all Doing us proud, and it’s bloody great to see the next crop in the All-Ireland U18 Final this coming Saturday in Galway, it’s just a pity that in their wisdom the IRFU have fixed the two games to kickoff at the same time, should be on different Days or Weeks even.
Anyway,
Good luck one and all.
