Scoil Mhuire, Kanturk played David’s College, Mallow and CBS Mitchelstown in a U14 blitz held at Kanturk Rugby Club on Tuesday 13th of March.Scoil Mhuire were first up playing Mallow coming out the wrong side of a 15-5 result. Scoil Mhuire bounced back from this to beat CBS Mitchelstown 17-15.
At this stage each team had won a game each. Our third game was up against Mallow again who once again proved too strong. Well done to all involved.
