Gavinized! SCT in Shield Final!
28 February 2025The stories of glory days of old will be wheeled out tonight amongst the Past Pupils of St. Conleth’s, at their annual viking-fest, but one particular alumnus (Class of 2000) will have a more recent tale to tell. Yes, Gav Maguire and the lads just reminded us all that St. Conleth’s is still… A RUGBY SCHOOL! The SCT won a stirring victory, 32-22, over St. Mary’s-Portlaoise, securing a place in the McMullen Shield Final. There were many key moments… the fight back after being down 17-16… the Jamie MacNicholas wonder try… but, overall, it was a complete team victory and we must congratulate Coach Daniel Stack and all the players, who stuck it out, during some trying times. It was a victory that takes its rightful place alongside the greatest triumphs in St. Conleth’s Sports History… several of which, Gav has had a hand in!
