CRFC Under 15s

Carrick U15 Debut kept at bay by visiting Ballinrobe

A combined Carrick on Shannon RFC U14/15 squad played their first ever competitive match together last Saturday against the visiting Ballinrobe U15 team. The match was held at the Carrick’s home pitch at Keenaghan, Castlecara, Carrick on Shannon for the U15 Cup championship.

Having never played together before, the Carrick players had a rusty start and leaked three unconverted tries during the first half.  However, they fought back bravely and were unfortunate not to score at least one try of their own during the second half. In fact, they kept the visiting Ballinrobe team scoreless during the whole second half and played most of the latter part of the game in the opposition’s side of the pitch. Carrick certainly had a few missed opportunities, which on another day could have levelled the match, and they were well equal to their opposition. Had they played together before this, I am sure that they would have come out the victors. Nevertheless, all is not lost yet. Although they are knocked out of the cup, the squad can still compete in the Connacht Plate, and with a bit of luck they can still come out of it with some silverware.  I would also like to thank all the supporters who came along to cheer them on. On behalf of the coaches, I would also like to wish the Team Captain for the day, Rory O’Brien, a swift recovery. He was taken off during the first half of the match due to injury. – Carrick U15 Coach; Nav Logan

It’s still not too late to get in touch to learn rugby and become part of this growing squad. New players will be especially welcome and will benefit from the skills they will learn and the comradery of these tough 14 and 15 year olds.
