Every week is rugby mania for Clogher Valley Youth. Good numbers but still the usual struggle for poistions tempered by the fact these guys will play together week in week out in a youth system that requires flexibility, changing positions, combined with the sort of skills that create the likes of Chris Farrell and the […]
It was a brace of well taken first half tries by Rory Scholes and the reliable kicking of Owen McMurray and Michael Heaney that won this battle of Ulster League heavy weights. Ballymena could have done better, but their first up kicker John Semple was having a bit of a ‘Brock James’ day at the […]
The line was drawn on Saturday, No more was the mantra, no more – this time we win! And they did it in style, finishing with Champagne rugby – but before the end and the blood sweat and tears, and the joy ….. before that was the basics. They could have lost it in the […]
The soil was dry, the pitch perfectly cut, as the solid crowd of supporters assembled to watch their club. They are smarting from retirement, injury and with 5 guys taking to the field for the first or second game ever the club dug deep and produced some spectacular rugby.

To a man, utterly superb open lightning paced rugby in attack and defence. One phrase sums it up ~ “The Basics”, ruck, pass, off load, line break, line break, line break, organised defence, commitment, hold the line, feed in, feed out. The basics laid the platform and the massive bursts of creative play, practising the […]

They conceded a try early in the match and their hearts went down for a few minutes but they worked their way back into the game, turning […]
