Schools Rugby Update

The Schools cup competitions continue for our local secondary schools with all getting some very notable results.

The Convent of Mercy Roscommon Juniors Girls have qualified for the Connacht Schools Junior Final in the Sportsground in early March, while their Senior Girls Team have to play MSM Claremorris in their Semi Final in the coming weeks.

Colaiste Mhuire Ballygar Junior Girls just fell at the semi final hurdle when losing to a Strong MSM Claremorris Junior side who have now qualified to play the Convent of Mercy Roscommon in the Semi Final.

The Boys Junior side from Ballygar also enjoyed a victory last week in the Junior C competition and are out again this week as they try to qualify for the the Connacht Semi Finals.

The CBS Roscommon Junior side lost to St. Joseph’s Patrician College (The Bish) Galway last week, which ended their involvement in the Junior A Competition.

Meanwhile the CBS Senior side put in a very good performance going to Garbally College last week and coming away with a draw to keep their interests alive in the competition. They now await the result from Garbally and Summerhill College to advance to the Connacht Semi Finals.
