Tough day at the office for an understrength U16's team as they took on Rugbai Chorca Dhuibhne back west on Saturday.  Conditions were dry but windy and we started the game playing up the hill and against the wind.  A tough and disciplined performance would be required to keep the game tight for the first half but a slow start left the visitors trailing by two tries after ten minutes and only encouraged the home side, who were playing some nice rugby.   Some good performances in defeat from Adam Casey, Ben O’Dwyer, Peadar Whelan, Aona O’Shea and Killian Spillane couldn’t hide the fact that Killorglin were well off the pace on the day.   Aona O’Shea managed to grab a consolation try in the second half for Killorglin but the result was never in doubt.  RCD 25 Killorglin 5.
