Creggs Rugby 53, Galwegians RFC 0. Connacht Under-14 Plate Quarter-Final.
After a big win in the first round over NUIG RFC, Creggs Under-14s continued successfully in their quest through the Connacht Under-14 Plate on Sunday last, beating Galweigans comprehensively, with the scoreboard reading 53-0 in Creggs’ favour.
Creggs started off the game strongly with Edimar Filho and Frankie Quinn excelling in counter-rucking winning valuable possession for their side. Silky hands from the Creggs backline led by out-half Paddy Downey ensured
Creggs got well-earned points on the board in the early stages of the match.
Michael McAteer, Luke Butt and Jordan Kennedy worked very hard around the fringes of the ruck and Robert Colleran put on an excellent display of kicking throughout the game. James Murray rucked well while Mark Kilcommons, James Connelly, Briain Costello and Darren Gately tackled bravely to keep Galweigans out of scoring range.
Tries from Edimar Filho, Shane Connaughton, Ciaran Purcell, Tyrese Etete and Ruairi O’Brien helped Creggs on their way to the Connacht Semi-Final.
Creggs: Ruairi O’Brien, Luke Butt, Michael McAteer, Jordan Kennedy, Robert Colleran, Edimar Filho, Frankie Quinn, Shane Connaughton, Ciaran Purcell, Paddy Downey, Tyrese Etete, Mark Kilcommons, James Connelly, Briain Costello, Darren Gately, Dara Hughes, and James Murray.
Anthony Gorman, Mark Dowd and Sean O’ Rourke were sidelined with injuries picked up at Gaelic in the week previous to this match. We wish them a speedy recovery.
There is no confirmation of the Under-13’s opposition and fixture for the Semi-Final at the time writing. Players will be notified at training.

Support Creggs Rugby's 'For the Love
of the Club' fundraising Walk/Run
Connacht Rugby and Bank of Ireland are supporting Creggs Rugby Club with their 'For The Love of the Club' fundraising initiative this coming St Patrick’s Day, March 17th, which will last for one week until March 24th. Will you please join us?
For the Love of the Club is a virtual 5K or 10K fundraising walk or run where you can register to: www.myrunresults.com
The entry fee is €10 and it will go to Creggs RFC, once you’ve chosen Creggs Rugby Club when entering.
We welcome all to participate, from keen runners to casual walkers. It’s all about getting reconnected and active again and whether you’re at home in Roscommon, Castlerea, Strokestown, Lanesborough, Lecarrow, Ballygar, Newbridge, Glenamaddy, Williamstown or in your home from home in Melbourne, Boston, Toronto or anywhere in the World, you can be part of your club, Creggs RFC in these challenging times. You may have a niece or nephew, a grandchild, a neighbour, a work colleague, or a casual acquaintance involved with the Club. Why not join this great fundraising initiative, and walk or run 5/10 km to support them.
This fundraiser will provide a much needed financial boost to Creggs Rugby Club in the current climate of restrictions. It will help greatly to maintain the facilities - both those in use such as the Community Walkway and the training and playing pitches etc. for when rugby returns for all our boys and girls.
The pandemic period has made it increasingly difficult for the Club to access most funding streams and through this initiative you can contribute to the Club, while getting some healthy exercise in the process.
In addition to your support, Bank of Ireland, Connacht Rugby’s community partner, will provide €5,000 worth of Rhino Rugby equipment to the club that goes the extra mile. Will you please help us to go that extra mile?
Please sign up for the Love of The Club virtual run/walk by clicking on the following link: www.myrunresults.com/events/for_the_love_of_the_club/4052/details
Connacht Rugby and Creggs Rugby Club asks all participants to adhere to complete their walk or run within the current government guidelines and their mandated 5K zone in Ireland (or whatever restrictions apply where you now reside), and not to gather in large groups in public areas and instead partake individually.
A 70 cent administration charge applies to all entrants’ €10 entry fees.
ENJOY YOUR EXERCISE AND THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING CREGGS RUGBY CLUB. ... See MoreSee Less
