a winning streak of ten matches. From early November to mid January, the B's won 5
out of 7 matches and the C’s recorded their first win of the season. Big contributions
were made by Ronan Davy, Brian McCloskey and Brian O’Riordan and in the forwards
good consistent performances were made by Andrew Feeney, Dominic Perrem. Grellan
McGrath and Alec Granville.
One of the best performances of the season by both A's and B’s came against Willow
Park. The A’s were narrowly beaten in a great match which ended 12-7. David Berkery
getting a great try. The B's went one step better winning 25-12 with great performances
by John Larkin. Matthew Farrell, Conor O'Reilly and David Bradley.
Our toughest match of the season came against two ‘unnaturally' big St Paul’s sides.
Both the A’s and the B's were beaten by over 40 points. It was a result to be forgotten.
The result was soon forgotten when both A’s and B’s won two matches against CUS
and CBC. The A’s recorded their two biggest wins back to back against Benildus and an
understrength Belvedere team. One of the disappointments of the season was the A's
failure to qualify for the Under-13 League final. The crunch match was against St
Andrew’s. After a terrible start we fought back bravely, eventually losing 15-12 despite
a great performance by Clive Brennan.
The season finished with a 7-a-side tournament in Benildus. The team didn’t fare too
well as we did not get past the first stage.
I would like to thank on behalf of all the rugby players in first year the parents who
turned up week after week to watch the matches and support the teams. Secondly, our
coaches Eugene McVeigh and Cian Torrance because without them the season wouldn’t
have been possible. Most of all 1 would like to thank Mr John O'Connor for all his work
and support throughout the year. If his predictions are correct, we should win the Junior
Cup in a couple of years time!
