Under-13

Creggs Rugby 22, Galwegians RFC 22.
Creggs Rugby U13’s played their first game of the season against Galwegians on Saturday evening under lights in Creggs and got a very good 22-22 all draw.
Playing their first game on a full pitch, the Creggs forwards had the better of their opponents but the Galwegians backs played a very fast offloading game and a draw was a very fair result.
Training for the U13’s is in Creggs next Friday at 7pm. New players welcome.

Creggs Rugby 17, Corinthians RFC 5.

Creggs took a lead through a try from Rory Callaghan early on but Corinthians equalised before half time leaving the sides level at half time 5-5.

Ballinrobe responded well and scored under the posts and took a 7-5 lead mid way through the half but Creggs responded well and Michael Kelly regained the lead for Creggs when the gained the ball on the 22″ after a lineout and sprinted to the line before the defense could realign and touched down, Tim Lambe converted to leave the half time score 12-7 to Creggs.

In the second half Creggs extended the lead after Tim Lambe converted a penalty after a sustained period of pressure for Creggs after 15 minutes stretching the lead to 15-7. Ballinrobe needed to score twice and they had a good period of play in the Creggs half but Creggs defended heroically to deny them any score and held out for a 15-7 win.
