Junior Rugby
Our team played many matches during
the year. Peculiarly enough, we won those
matches which most people thought we
would lose, and did badly in other matches
when the strain of having to win made our
players nervous. This certainly happened
in the Munster Cup match. Our team had
been hit by injuries, but we think that we
would have won if we had played as well
as we played in friendly matches. Unfortunately,
the importance of winning at
Thomond Park made our players overeager
and nervous, and although we spent
48
most of the second half in the enemy ''25'',
we were not able to translate territorial
advantage into scores, and we made our
exit. We enjoyed our rugby. We hope
that next year's junior team will enjoy their
rugby as much as we did, and we imagine
they will. We also think that they have a
very good chance of winning the coveted
Munster Cup. We wish them every success.
