Creggs U.15’s played the replay of the cup quarter final on Tuesday evening in Creggs against Buccaneers RFC. The game started badly for the home side when they conceded a well worked try within five minutes of the kick off. Creggs grew into the game but coughed up possession too easily and conceded midway through the half to go 10-0 behind. That was the push Creggs needed and they marched the Buccaneers team up the pitch to score a well deserved try to go 10-5 behind. Creggs defence was immense throughout but great hands from Buccaneers saw them score again with 5 minutes to go to half time to leave it 15-5. Some great defence by the Creggs backs set up a lineout just outside the 22 and with a solid take at the front and a well worked move saw Creggs power over in the corner which was converted to leave it 15-12 at half time. In the second half Creggs were playing all the rugby and took two penalty chances to finally go in front 18-15 with 7 minutes to go, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be as Buccaneers took their chances well and finished the game the stronger team to win 27-18. The coaches would like to thank all the players in the squad and the parents for bringing them all year but it just wasn’t to be.
