BOYS U.14s
On Sunday the Creggs Boys U.14s took on local rivals Buccaneers in an epic battle. An even contest throughout where in the early exchanges Buccaneers had the upper hand and touched down on the 10 minute mark to take the lead. Creggs bounced back but were made work hard for their score with some great Buccaneers defending. However, Ryan Sharkey crashed over from a 5m penalty to tie the scores. The next score for Creggs was an intercept by Eoin Callaghan who offloaded to Harry McDermott who finished under the posts. This was against the run of play as Buccaneers had Creggs to pin of their collar. Half time score was 12-10 to the home side.
In the second half Creggs imposed themselves more on the game and 10 minutes from time Charlie Madden scored a try after some good forward play allowed the backs move the ball brilliantly. The 4th try came after some great pressure on a Buccaneers scrum 5m from their own line following a Pierre Ward tackle, allowed Creggs counter ruck and pick and go with Harry Feeley touching down. The extras were added by a super touchline conversion from Harry Trimble leaving the score 24-10 in favour of Creggs. Buccaneers never gave up and touched down for a deserved try with the last play of the game. A great win at home for the U.14 boys who play Westport next weekend.
