Old Christians RFC 19 – 47 Cobh Pirates
A tough afternoon for our U16s against a big, physical and powerful Cobh Pirates side.
Cobh made the stronger start, crossing for three tries before our boys began to find their feet and play their own game. The lads responded well, getting a try back just before half-time to give themselves something to build on.
The second half started positively, with Old Christians putting early pressure on the Cobh defence. Unfortunately, despite some promising spells and good efforts from the boys, we couldn’t turn enough of that pressure into points.
There were some positives to take from the day, particularly with two lads making their first appearances of the season, and a special mention to Oliver, who made his rugby debut. A great milestone!
A big thank you also to Charlie for stepping in and deputising on the wing. Your support was greatly appreciated.
Not the result we wanted, but plenty to learn from and build on. Keep working hard, keep backing each other and we’ll go again next week!
