Junior Rugby Team Seal Semi Final Spot

Our Junior Rugby team took on St. Mels College on Thursday in their quarter final. ️ St. Mels were quicker off the mark with a try from their scrum half after a good chip and chase within the first 5 minutes, but he couldn't convert his own try.
As the CBS got more into the game the trys started to flow, our first came from no.8 Shane Foley as he powered straight through the St.Mels defender to crash over, with the conversion just gone wide, the game was level at 5-5. That wasn't the story for long though, with centre Danny Gavin at the end of a good move to take the lead for the Brothers, unable to convert our second try we led at half time 10-5. ️ The boys came out rearing to go again in the second half with big hits from Finn Darcy and Bill Rigney rattling the St.Mels players and they couldn't cope with the strong carries from Shane Foley, Daragh Lalor and Eoghan Deegan. ️It would be a brilliant line break from the ball out quickly from the ruck let Dan Murrell slide into the corner to put them 10 points ahead. Finn Darcy, with his persistence throughout the game, broke the line again, but was tackled just short of the line, then Shane Foley picked the ball out quick and scored for his second try of the match. Our subs had a big impact to help close out the game with Mark Fennell, Joe Larkin, and Alex Walsh having big presences in the match. It wasn't the end of the CBS scoring though, with David Timmons dodging and weaving through defenders before tapping the ball down and Joe Larkin splitting the posts with a perfect conversion. More subs rolled in with Jim Hanamy having immediate effect, receiving an offload and dancing between tackles before diving over the whitewash to end our great display. ️The score at full-time was 32-5, with MOTM having to be split between Danny Gavin and Daragh Lalor.

The U15 Soccer team picked up their second win in three games on Wednesday with a 1 nil victory over Piper’s Hill of Naas. The first half was a close battle, with the CBS looking the more dangerous. Ethan Neilon had a goal disallowed for offside and Callum Devoy had a shot cleared off the line. ️ The deadlock was finally broken early in the second half with Ethan Neilon scoring the game’s only goal. ️ After that it was a solid defensive shift from the likes of Tiernan Lawless that kept Pipers Hill at bay. In the end it was a hard fought but deserved CBS win. MOTM David Timmons. ️

St Mary’s CBS Senior Rugby March On

Our senior team were playing on Tuesday November 14th vs Mercy SS Kilbeggan in the Quarter final of the Anne McInerny Cup.
The team got off to a great start, running straight at the opposition and causing the Mercy defence problems with increased pressure. Pj Larkin opened the scoring making an unbelievable run getting the CBS up and running with a great individual try. ️ Shortly after that Mercy bounced back with a try of their own. The CBS lads needed some motivation to get going again and it was Captain Adam Glynn with some great individual work who got the lads back in front. Just before the half time whistle Daniel Thornton got over for a try to give the CBS lads a nice lead going in 17-7 at the break.
The half time talk from Ms. Walsh and Roy Glynn put some fire into the CBS lads and with that, just after the break, Aaron Kingston powered over for another try with our man of the match Darragh Walker following that up with a try just after. The CBS never took their foot off the pedal with great defensive work all through the game. ️ Big hits were going in from Evan Bergin, Cian Butler and Adam Glynn. The last try to seal the deal was when Jake Byrne caught the opposition off guard with a quick tap and go, giving it out to Daniel Thornton who put the game to bed. ️ Jake Darcy stepped up with a great kick to ensure the conversion. The lads got a big win the game ending 36-12. A special shout-out to Darragh Walker, man of the match! #fromeachtheirbest ️
