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 ️

1st Year Footballers Seal First Championship Victory

️ Our 1st Year Footballers were out on Friday in their first championship game vs Knockbeg.
It was Knockbeg who had the stronger start as they struck over two points in the first 5 minutes. St. Mary’s CBS fought back early though with Eoin Fitzpatrick converting a free for the first of his four points. The brothers took the lead mere minutes afterwards when Noah Lawlor smashed a rebound into the bottom corner. They took off from there as Ethan O’Connor sent his shot sailing over the bar then picking out a stunning pass to wing forward Danny Breen for him to rattle the back of the net as well. Rory Kennedy was kept busy in between the sticks throughout, pulling off some stunning saves to keep our lads ahead. His pinpoint kickouts also meant he always found a red jersey. ️ It was level at the break with a score of 2-2 to 1-5.
The CBS had a stronger start to the second half, with Darragh Fingleton tapping the ball into the net for a third goal. Two more well taken points which full forward Eoin Fitz added to his tally, helped the brothers pull away ️ and super sub Ryan Shiney Conlon had an immediate impact firing one into the top corner with his first touch of the ball. The lads worked extremely hard off the ball as well, Rory Hand never let go of his man at centre back while Darragh Fingleton and Darragh Keenan were relentless in midfield ️ With the help of strong subs to close the game there were solid performances from Calvagh Cullinane, Senan O’Connell and Mark Roberts which meant Knockbeg only scored two points in the hole second half. Nearing the final whistle, Adam Whelan slotted one over from corner forward with Ethan O’Connor pointing once again too. Eoin Fitz punished Knockbeg with his fourth point of the game and Adam Whelan sealed the win with another goal calmly placed into the bottom corner. The boys ran out 5-7 to 1-7 winners. ️
MOTM had to be spilt between two great players with Darragh Keenan and Rory Kennedy both putting in super displays.
Many thanks to TY Student Cormac Deegan for the match report

Our 1st Year Soccer team began their cup campaign with an impressive performance against Adamstown CC.
St. Mary’s CBS started the strongest, with attacks led from the middle of the field by Calvagh Cullinane and Adam Whelan.
Eoin Fitzpatrick was first to break the deadlock with a fine finish to the bottom corner. Good defending by Mark Roberts and Darragh Keenan kept any Adamstown attacks at bay with Culainn McEvoy coming off the bench to extend the lead with his hard work paying off with a hat trick. Adam Mcdonald & Ronak John sealed the victory for the CBS by adding to the scoresheet. McDonald's half volley from outside the box was the standout goal of the game for his teammates as you can see in the celebration video on our school Instagram page!
Well done to the boys on a successful first outing in St. Mary’s CBS colours!
