BUCCANEERS 13 DE LA SALLE PALMERSTON 16 BUCCANEERS U-20’s season ended in controversial fashion when they went down 16-13 to De La Salle Palmerston in a sometimes fractious Purcell Cup quarter-final contested at Dubarry Park on Sunday. Buccs had come out on top when these sides met in the league in Athlone just two weeks ago but, on this occasion, the visitors edged the verdict in a contest between two much-changed teams. Buccs sported five changes from that recent encounter but lacked fluency for large swathes of the game against in-your-face opponents. The metropolitans were clearly up for t ..read more

BUCCANEERS 7 HIGHFIELD 24

BUCCANEERS 7 HIGHFIELD 24 As had been the case in Cork earlier in the season Buccaneers were out-muscled by a bulkier Highfield outfit in their Energia All-Ireland League Division 1B encounter at Dubarry Park on Saturday when the visitors won by 24-7. The bonus point victory by the Corkonians keeps them firmly in the promotion play-offs hunt. However, defeat for the Pirates (and a bonus point secured by Queen’s University) means that the midlanders are now inevitably destined for 2A next season. Buccs run of misfortune continued before kick-off with illness ruling Ryan O’Meara out while Oisin ..read more

FRIENDLY DOUBLE FOR YOUTHS Buccaneers U-15s travelled to neighbours Birr and had a cracking game which they won 24-22 on an excellent pitch. Buccs travelled light on a fine St. Patrick’s morning and were slow getting into their stride. However, we are now playing an excellent brand of running rugby which has produced over 130 points in the last three games. Scores were being traded but an intercept by centre Tiernan Farrell gave Buccs a half-time advantage. The second half passed in the same manner until John Finnan took a quick penalty and strode through a bemused home defence to score the de ..read more

Buccaneers U-15s were on the road to Galway on Saturday for a friendly fixture against Galwegians. A super first-half saw the visitors leading 30 points to 14 at half-time with some well-constructed tries. The second half saw little respite for the home team with Buccs scoring a further 21 points. This young squad are putting together some superb rugby with Myles Fallon in fine form and John Finnan, in his new position of fullback, outstanding. BUCCANEERS:- T Herron, C McCormack, P Sunny, S O’Hara, A Murphy, M Dolan, C Donohue, M Fallon, S Lowe, E Carr, T Farrell, B Rourke, E Friel, R O’Connor ..read more

BUCCANEERS SECONDS 5 DUNMORE 34 BUCCANEERS SECONDS gallant season came to an end when they shipped a heavy 34-5 Bank of Ireland Connacht Junior Cup semi-final defeat at home to Dunmore on Sunday. The more seasoned Co. Galway side possessed too much power and guile for a youthful Pirates crew and they dictated large swathes of this game played on a grey, cool afternoon at Dubarry Park. Buccs cause was not helped by the absence through injury of Cathal O’Grady and John Why and three first half injuries also damaged their cause. Liam Doyle replaced the absent O’Grady while props Cian Daly and Fin ..read more
