Weekend Junior Rugby Round-Up

There were wins for Kilfeacle, Skibbereen and Tralee in the All Ireland Junior Cup at the weekend.

Tralee caused the biggest shock of the day in the All Ireland Junior Cup when they defeated Wanderers 10-6 at O’Dowd Park. Despite playing with the advantage of the elements the sides were level 3-3 at half time. Ciaran Crowley kicked a penalty for the Kerry side and Peter O’Sullivan equalised for Wanderers.
Ten minutes into the second half O’Sullivan edged the visitors ahead with a penalty but mid way through the half Garrett Walsh got in for a try for Tralee following a five meter scrum and he also converted.

Kanturk were the only Munster side to lose as they were defeated 10-9 in atrocious conditions at the Tyrone venue by Clogher Valley. Mark Healy kicked three penalties for Kanturk.

Skibbereen defeated Ballina 26-18. This game was moved to Clonakilty as a result of flooding in Skibbereen. David Shannon and Alan Jennings scored two tries each for the west Cork side and Hemi Taukiri got one. Ger Hurley kicked three penalties and a conversion.

Kilfeacle booked their place in the last eight with a 30-14 away win over OLBC in Galway. Brian Nugent scored two tries for the Tipperary side and Diarmuid Carr and Cormac O’Donoghue got one each. Gavin Heuston kicked two conversions and two penalties.
