Sevens Rugby At Shannon RFC

With the ever increasing popularity of 7's rugby in Ireland, it is fitting that squads of U14 players from across the province converged on Shannon RFC's grounds in Coonagh recently.

Teams from Tipperary, Clare, Kerry and Limerick attended and took part in an event organised by the Munster Rugby Domestic Game Department.

The finals saw St Marys (Newport) defeat St John Bosco (Kildysart) in the bowl final. The final of the plate was won by SMI (Newcastlewest) and the cup final saw Crescent College Comprehensive narrowly defeat CBS Nenagh in a rematch of last years final in the same event.
