Under 14 Bowl Winners
Yesterday, our Under 14 rugby team played in the finals of the HS Bowl at Rainey RFC and after winning 3 games with a bonus point in each, they came away as champions. A 26-0 victory over Dunclug College was followed up with a 22-0 victory over St Patrick’s Keady. A narrow defeat to a Tandragee HS could have cost our boys, however another bonus point victory over St Patrick’s Dungiven saw us top the table. The 12 tries scored today were shared between Alexander, Rhys B, Tyler, Lewis, Dean, Blake , Rhys T, Jack and Jamie with Dean converting several.
