U.14 GIRLS CUP

Creggs U.14 girls played their second cup group game against Gort/Monivea under lights in Monivea’s grounds on Friday evening.

The playing conditions weren’t great with a wet ball and mucky pitch. Creggs got the first score of the game after being held up over the line a few times. Gort/Monivea never backed down and scored a try of their own to leave the score at 5-7 at half time. A number of changes were made for the second half but it was the hosts who registered 2 tries to 1 leaving the score at 19-17 with 10 mins to go. Creggs dug deep and showed great attitude, determination and team spirit. They never let their heads drop and played some lovely rugby in the last 10 mins to come away with a winning score of 31-19. Well done girls.

It was great to see the support these girls showed each other even when up against it. Try scorers on the day were Leah Connolly, Dearbhla Haugh, Muireann Mulry and Clodagh Finneran with Sophie Dwyer kicking the conversions.
