Mitchelstown RFC vs Fermoy RFC under 14s Match Report 2/11/2025
Our under 14s squad travelled to Fermoy for an 11:00am kick-off on Sunday. Brilliant morning for a
game of rugby, and that’s what we were treated to, a great game of rugby by two very even and well-
matched sides. Our lads started strong and through our forwards we managed to take a lead
through some good strong running. Both sides didn’t give an inch, and it was back and forth
with both teams taking chances only to be met with a solid tackle, turnover or great clearance kick
like our own Matty Coughlan who plucked the ball out the air, tiptoed the side line and managed a
clearing kick with his weaker left leg, savage play for under 14s!
The 2nd half continued the same as the first, very close and Fermoy found there attacking rhythm
through their backs while our lads continued to power through and going into the last stage of the
match Fermoy took the lead but our lads were not going to be denied and after savage pressure put
on the Fermoy try line we finally got what proved to be the winning score. Fermoy to their credit
continued to try and get the winning score, but our lads held on for massive win. The final score
would be 17-14 to Mitchelstown, team: Liam Drake(Captain), Dean Slyne, Ciaran Gallagher, Ryan
Kinsella , Evan Holland, Zack Wims, Alex Creed, Darren Cunningham, Matty Coughlan, Fionn
McLaughlan, Oisin Heaphy, Oran Fox, Jamie Dooley, Aaron Horgan.
Thanks for all the support, it’s brilliant to have the lads cheered on from the side line. Thanks also to
Fermoy for the refreshments after the game and being brilliant hosts. We will be training every
Thursday night at 7pm at Currabowen any new players welcome. Our next match will be at home to
Highfield in 2 weeks’ time.
