Roots & All is a project where we pick a few teams that don’t normally make the spotlight week in week out and feature them regularly throughout an entire campaign.
Underage Eagles played Listowel last Saturday morning in the West Munster u15 plate. Unfortunately, Listowel proved far too strong in the forward play with the final score 32-14. The u13 game was cancelled.
The seniors travelled to Listowel also last Sunday for a challenge match. With only the bare 15 and half the team playing out of position, nothing went right and we ended up losing 15-0. This was the first game in months that we were well beaten, hardly able to get out of our own half .having played so badly, everyone is gunning to make amends for the next game which, luckily enough is the Mick Barry Cup semifinal against Cashel on Sunday.
Nothing like having an angry team rather than a nervous one for a semi final!. Cashel have been walking through Munster this year, scoring loads of tries, so a lightning start is vital along with ferocious defence.
The following week is another huge game as we welcome Dolphin to Iveragh in the first round of the Munster Cup. Reports to follow …
