1st Year Rugby Win
First Year Rugby finished last Thursday with a Finals Day in Athy RFC, where we were able to enter two full teams. Naas CBS was the only school able to enter two teams.
The first team won the final against Newbridge PBS on a scoreline of 24 to 0. It would be impossible to mention the names of all the players who have contributed to a very successful season this year. I was very impressed with the skills and the discipline that this group possessed. We had players from 3 different clubs and they gelled very well as a group.
The future is very bright for this group; new players started rugby this year and have gone to join clubs now. We have great strength in depth as we were able to run two teams. It was an absolute pleasure to coach these young men. A huge thank you to the T.Y. students who helped out coaching: Jack Dempsey, Charlie Morrissey, Harry Dunne and Zach Kennedy. It was great to see the leadership they showed. A big thank you to Miss Houlihan who looked after the teams for the Finals Day and to Mick Cahill who organised pitches and referees for all games.
