YOUTHS ROUND-UP
U-15s
Buccaneers entertained neighbours Creggs U-15s on a sunny Sunday afternoon and won 26-12. Buccs started at full pace and Oisin Daly crossed over in the corner for a try converted by Corey Kelly. Buccs were guilty of overplaying and that cost them a few scores. Penalties were also a problem with offside being the main culprit. Up stepped Danny Murphy with 2 tries from long range and added to a Leroy Boakye score plus 2 more conversions by Kelly with Creggs scoring twice.
BUCCANEERS:- L Kelly, J Monaghan, L Boakye, T Afinkaye, C Burke, O Kelly, C Kelly, J Murray, S Griffiths, J Heneghan, A Cunningham, C Kilcommins, O Killeen, F Kelly, R Connors, D Moran, W Browne, D O’Sullivan, S Norton, N Donohue, O Daly and D Murphy.
U-13s
Buccaneers played a Connacht U-13 league game away to Creggs on Sunday and despite scoring 4 tries through James Dowling (2) and Senan Rafferty (2) were beaten by a formidable home XV. Buccs were strong with the ball in hand and put some super passing movements together but let through too many Creggs attackers by not finishing tackles. Much progress has been made with this group who will reap the rewards.
BUCCANEERS:- T Mullen, D Carroll, J Dineen, R Keegan, C Gilligan, O Weldon, A O’Neill, T O’Faolan, O Donoghue, R Power, J Kenny, J Dowling, J Kelly, S Rafferty, R Bruce and E Killion.
