U13s claim sweet victory against Galwegians0

Corinthian U 13’s had their first competitive outing against Galwegians at Glenina. This was the team’s first experience of playing 15-a-side rugby on a full sized pitch, and they claimed a sweet victory, running in 5 tries in the process. The gods smiled on this willing team of warriors, with the heavy rain of earlier morning breaking to give sunshine for the duration of the game. The wet underfoot conditions did little to hold back both teams from playing good, open running rugby. The quality of tackling, passing and straight running from Corinthians was very impressive, and they kept a good shape throughout.

Trys were scored by Maitis O’Griofa, Liam Costello (2 trys), Barry O’Shea, Gary Collumb, but the win was down to a great team effort. All of the U13 panel who were available (28 players on the day) got to play. From this week onwards Corinthians will have a 2^nd team in the league due to increased numbers as the weeks have gone on. This will mean plenty of match time for all the players!
