U 8 News

Cork Con Under 8s hosted two teams from Kinsale on the main pitch on Satur- day April 5th.

The weather held out despite a threatening start and both Con teams played well. The first team played out a draw initially and managed to sneak out a victory with super-subs Ali Dunne and James Ryan making the difference with some style running.

The second team had an easier run in the first game with a 7 try victory thanks to some great running by James O'Leary and Sam Hernan. They had to work harder in the second match and eked out a close win as a result of stalwart tackling from Liam Healy and Luke Barry.

Again, it was great to see an old Con legend Denis O'Dowd blowing up a very sporting contest.
