WESTPORT  7   -    CORINTHIANS (BLACK)  51.

Corinthians  U13 (Black) travelled  to Westport  for  their  first  outing  of  2012  and  what  a  start to  a  new  year . Conditions  were  excellent  for  rugby , the  pitches  were  in  great  order  given  the  weather  conditions  recently . It  took  Corinthians  about   sixty  seconds  to  cross  for  the  first  of  9  tries  of  the  afternoon . Westport  were  considerably  better  than  the  scoreline  suggests  and  only  for  some  great  defending  by  Corinthians  things  would  have  been  different , substitute  full  back  Michael  Barry  making a  definite  try  saving  tackle  in  the  second  half . Outhalf  Jack  White (2 Cons.)  made  several  useful  breaks  as  did  Tom  Forde , who  was  rewarded  with  a  try . The  forwards  made  life  difficult  for  Westport  at  ruck  time  with  great  work  done  by  Jack  Nevin (2 Tries) , Maitias O’Griofa (2 Tries) , Dylan Tierney Martin , Declan  Gill(1 Con.) , Conor  Powderly , Alan  Duggan , Ruairi  Waldron  Caufield , Colm  Joyce. Liam  Melia  entered  the  fray  for  Ruairi  in  the  second  half , and  it  must  be  said  played  very  well . Cathal  Wall  was  unlucky  in  the  second  half  when  he  was  just  pushed  into  touch  inches  from  the  line . Ciaran  Weldon  had  a  cracking  game  at  scrumhalf,(2 tries). Max  Peyton  and  Barry  O’Shea  scored  one  each  and  worked  hard  during  the  game . Fionn  MacGabhann  made  some  good  runs  aswell  . All  in  all  a  great  example  of  a  team  playing  together .

MONIVEA   0  -   CORINTHIANS   32

The under 16 league restarted after bad weather and Corinthians got a great win away in Monivea with 6 tries and one conversion to no score. Monivea were a big strong side and this was not an easy win, but with an organised defence which did not give an inch around the set pieces and breakdowns Corinthians moved the ball wide at every opportunity and scored all tries through their backs. Johannes O’Coistealbha (3tries), Paddy Griffin(2 tries) and Keelan Ward (1 try) with Mark Kenny adding a conversion. Another great team effort with some fantastic tackling by all particularly Philip Murphy,Stephen Flanagan and Michael O’Connell.

CORINTHIANS   63    -      WESTPORT        0

Despite missing a number of players away with other sport committments and a few injuries the U16 squad had a comprehensive victory over Westport on Sat 21st Jan. A fantastic team display with good ball provided by the forwards to a flying backline who scored most of the tries. So many players had great games and the quality of handling,rucking and support play was a pleasure to watch. The front row of Ciaran Murphy, Phelim McGovern and Sean McKeogh did tremendous work in tight supported by Stephen Flanagan and Jack Gavin in 2nd row. Robbie Kenny got the ball away at every opportunity to a backline that moved it wide at every opportunity and gave the opposition no space when they had possession. Another great team display by these U16s.
