Creggs however controlled the rest of the half resulting in two wonderful tries from Sean O’Rourke and Mark Kilcommins giving the home side a 12-10 lead at half time.

A further brace of tries from Mark Dowd and Edimar Filhmo gave Creggs some breathing space but Tuam came back with a converted try of their own which led to a tense but highly entertaining final ten minutes.
