League Semi Final
Monivea
29 Corinthians 3 – Monivea had an
impressive win over Corinthians in the
League Semi Final on Sunday last.
They stormed ahead with a try from
Conor Kindregan in the opening minutes,
followed by a penalty to Corinthians
straight in front of the posts.
Monivea powered back with a break
through the middle by Lorcan Laheen for try
number 2. Corinthians
fought hard to get back into the game, but
they were completely dominated by a very
strong Monivea side who added another try
by Paddy Finnerty and converted by Coleman
Maher just before the break. The
second half saw Monivea score further
try’s by Colm Neary and in form Paddy
Finnerty. They now face
Buccaneers in the final who overcame
Galwegians to qualify. We
send our best wishes to Conor Kindregan who
was selected to play with the Ireland
U18’s in France this week, but because of
an injury picked up on Sunday is unable to
travel, lets hope he has fully recovered to
travel to Italy in mid March to again line
out with the Ireland U18’s.

Monivea
stormed to a fantastic Junior Cup win in the
Sportsground on a score line of Monivea 14 -
6 Corinthians. The much hyped Corinthians;
current junior league champions were
dominated by the village club. Corinthians
scores came from 1 penalty & 1 drop goal
both scored by David Clarke but neither could swing the game in their favour.
Monivea had the majority of the possession
in the 1st half but failed to convert it
into points. The second half sprung to life
with a blistering run up the wing & a
try under the posts from Rory O'Connor. Ger
O'Connor converted the kick & later
scored & converted his own try after an
inside pass from Darren Blade inside the
Corinthians 22. The Monivea pack had a great
game & this provided the platform for
the backs to work there Magic! The introduction of Pat
"The Master" Blade in the last few
minutes crowned off a great day for the
players & everyone involved with
Monivea.
