 10 March 2010Abbeyfeale's strong defense too much for young Corca Dhuibhne side
by Shane O'Rourke Rugbaí Chorca Dhuibhne's senior team travelled to Abbeyfeale on Sunday knowing that defeat would ruin any chances of promotion. Unfortunately a good start from the home team with two soft tries within 5 minutes left Chorca Dhuibhne chasing the game, this led to two intercept tries which if the ball had of gone to hand would have been Chorca Dhuibhne tries, this 14 point turn around left the scores at 25-0 at half time which easily could have been 14 each. Chasing the game in the second half and against a strong wind it was always going to be difficult and the young Chorca Dhuibhne side could just not break down a strong and well organised defence. While the result is asset back positives can be taken from the heart and courage shown as well as the excellent performances from Niall Flaherty, Eoin Houlihan and Cathal Mitchel. (Abbeyfeale 41 Rugbai Chorca Dhuibhne 0). Rugbai Chorca Dhuibhne host Abbeyfeale on Sunday 14th of March all support would be greatly appreciated. In other club news, on Saturday the Chorca Dhuibhne under 13’s took on Tralee in the Under 13’s Cup. Tralee who had already won the league were big strong and well organised, they took a 22 point lead going in at half time after some great running rugby. The game looked all but over at half time but what people didn’t count on was the heart and skill of the Chorca Dhuibhne boys, after some sustaines pressure and great rugby Luke Collins powered over for the first of 4 tries, P.J Hand excellently converted, further tries from the speedy Liam Brosnan, Martin O’Gormain and PJ Hand left the scores at 27-22, unfortunately the lads courageous comeback just ran out of time with Tralee scraping through. This was a wonderful performance and credit must go to all the players, coaches and parents. 10 March 2010An Bhlascaoid Mór to receive funding for conservation and protection works
