West Munster U14 League Killorglin 8 Killarney 7

In a game brought forward from the holiday weekend, we suffered a narrow 1 point defeat to our neighbours Killorglin. Injuries meant we lost an entire starting front row in Tom Chambers, Luis Caruz, and TJ Healy. So credit to Alfie, Pierce and Scott for stepping up

Our try was scored by Con Carroll - one of a number of players in our group who only took to rugby this season. Most encouraging was the fact we "won" the third quarter 12-0 with our younger and newer players gaining experience and a chance to learn the 15-a-side game.
