The second final of the day will see Creggs RFC<br />

take on Sligo RFC in the Bank of Irel<strong>and</strong> U18<br />

Girls’ Division 1 League Final. This is sure to be<br />

a hotly contested game with two incredibly<br />

strong sides battling it out. After winning the<br />

Division 1 final in the 2021/22 season, Creggs<br />

fell 26-14 to Tuam/Oughterard in last year’s<br />

League final <strong>and</strong> will be looking to once again<br />

lift the trophy this year. Losing only to Sligo<br />

in their league campaign, Creggs otherwise<br />

recorded strong wins, including their home<br />

semi-final against last year’s champions, Tuam/<br />

Oughterard. Coming off their U16 Cup final<br />

win last season, this year’s Sligo U18 team was<br />

going to be strong. They only recorded one<br />

loss in the league which was against the team<br />

they would later face in the semi-final – Ballina<br />

met in round 5 of the league competition where<br />

Corinthians came away with just a 3-point<br />

victory. Both sides have shown impressive<br />

performances over the course of the league.<br />

Corinthians played Ballina RFC in their home<br />

semi-final – a match that was sure to be a good<br />

one after their last face-off when Corinthians<br />

won 20-19. This time, Corinthians came away<br />

with a 28-5 win to secure their spot in the final.<br />

Galwegians also saw a rematch in their semifinal<br />

against Buccaneers RFC after they came<br />

away with a narrow 31-28 away win in round<br />

3 of the competition. In their home semi-final,<br />

Galwegians took the win with a score of 28-23<br />

<strong>and</strong> will face their long-time rivals Sunday. The<br />

Bank of Irel<strong>and</strong> U18.5 Boys’ Division 1 League<br />

Final is at 3:00 PM on Sun, 28th January.<br />

RFC. After a semi-final replay <strong>and</strong> a 17-10 win<br />

over Ballina, Sligo will take the pitch against<br />

Creggs on Sunday. This will be a final not to be<br />

missed that could go in either direction. The<br />

Fans are encouraged to buy their tickets in<br />
