Scoil Chlonglais Baltinglass v St Pats Navan

Leinster Schools Fr Godfrey Cup

Following their win in the Junior Schools Cup Scoil Chlonglais continue their winning ways! The boys from Baltinglass completed the semi-final quartet for the Bank of Ireland Leinster Schools Fr Godfrey Cup semi-final on the back pitch at Donnybrook on Monday 19th January. Coached by Carlow’s Eoin Bailey.

This encounter was controlled by a strong Chlonglais team. The first score however didn’t come until first-half injury-time when Chonglais flanker Shane Sweeney forced his way over for fly-half Jake Elliott’s conversion to make it 7-0 at the break. They didn’t have to wait too long to edge further clear from Elliott’s calm three pointer in the 33rd minute.

The carrying power of St Pat’s replacement Evan Gordon was put to proper use when he spun out of two tackles to halve the deficit. Scoil Chlonglais now face Dublin’s Old Wesley on Monday 26th Janaury at 2.30pm All support for the team would be greatly appreciated.
