Creggs RFC under 14 boys welcomed Connemara/Oughterard to Creggs for the Plate Semi-Final. The visitors lead 14-0 after 15 minutes when Creggs centre Harris Curran injured a collarbone and had to be replaced. Creggs had to regroup and deal with the challenge at hand to reset their game plan. Oscar Brennan scored Creggs first try just before halftime to go in 14-5 down. Creggs pushed on in the second half seeing Rian Davis get over for a try, converted by Zak Kelly to narrow the gap to 14-12. Creggs were on the front foot at this stage and a kick into the back field looked to have the visitors struggling. Some clever play by the fullback noticed Creggs back field was vacant and they worked up-field and scored, pushing their lead to 19-12. Connemara added to their tally with another try to go 24-12 ahead. With time running out Creggs needed to act fast. A try by Matthew Towey just wasn’t enough to bridge the gap and the game finished 24-19. Creggs wish Connemara/ Oughterard good luck in the semi-final. That ends the season for this group of lads at u14. It was a tough season in ways but what was evident was the improvement this team has made since last September. As the saying goes what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.
