County Donegal U16 Rugby Blitz
|
THE second County Donegal
U16 Rugby Blitz took place at Letterkenny RFC on
Thursday, November 19. Despite the dreadful, wet
conditions, all teams played positive rugby, with
minimal kicking and clearly the general intent was to
run the ball. This made for compulsive viewing, as
throughout the day there was an attractive brand of
rugby on show. |
 |
In total, six schools took
part in the blitz, with the competition split into two
pools. Results were added from the previous blitz to
this one with the eventual cup winners being St.
Columba’s College. Congratulations to them, they
deservedly finished top, after many hard fought games
they managed to come out on top. To add an extra
competition, there was also a Plate up for grabs. The
team that were to finish top of Pool 2 would
automatically win the Plate. This pool proved to be very
tightly contested however Mulroy College were
victorious. This was a big achievement for them as it
was their first piece of Rugby silverware in the school.
Many thanks must go to Letterkenny Rugby Club for their
continued support and use of their quality pitches.
Credit must also go to all the dedicated teachers and
coaches of all teams, their dedication and commitment is
greatly appreciated and without them, a day like this
would not have been possible. Lastly, a big thank you to
Francois Badenhorst who gave up his own time to help
referee the blitz. For more information on Schools rugby
