Tralee Rugby Club

Tralee rugby hosted Muskerry under 9 last Sat and despite the weather in Cork and snow on the county bounds the Cork side arrived with a small but strong squad of nine players. As we have come to expect from this South Munster side they were well up for a challenge and our boys were not going to disappoint.

We played 2 games both teams were well matched the cork squad showing good ball skills and Tralee using what they have learned on the training pitch and proving very strong in the ruck and putting in some fearsome tackles, this resulted in two exciting close fought games .In the spirit of mini rugby both games were blown up as a draw but to be fair it was one game each With the visitors taking the first and the home squad finishing strongly to take the second in style.

Our lads are improving with each game and each game throws up new areas which need work, tackling and rucking while needing more work are showing great improvement and the work is paying off on the pitch .Overall a successful day with strong sporting performances all round both teams are looking forward to the return leg at the Muskerry festival which if last year is anything to go by will be another good outing. Thanks to the parents who helped out and provided the grub which our hungry visitors were glad of.
