The 1st team had an emphatic 47-0 win over Corca Dhuibhne at the Grove on Sunday last (7th March), scoring EIGHT tries in a bonus point win that sets up the lads for a potential winner takes all contest against fellow playoff hopefuls and current second place team, Killarney, in the final game of the season. After having defeated Presentation 15-6 at the weekend, Killarney now just hold a one point advantage over Abbeyfeale, with both playing the same number of games. With Killarney off this weekend, Abbey can overtake them into second place and heap further pressure on them, by recording a win over Corca Dhuibhne who will be looking for revenge after last weekends drubbing to the hands of Abbeyfeale
Mini Rugby: The scheduled Under 8 Blitz was a non-event due to UL Bohs and Thomond cancelling at short notice. However, Young Munster did make the journey, but not with a full squad, so the organisers played a series of 10-a-side matches with Abbeyfeale teams performing the best on the day

Underage Fixtures: The Under 13’s will play in the Semi-Final of the Under 13 West Munster Cup against Killarney R.F.C. in Killarney this Saturday March 13th at 11 a.m. The boys will be looking to erase the heartache of losing to Tralee in the League Final a couple of weeks ago by putting in an impressive performance against a strong Killarney team. Support would be greatly appreciated
-
The Under 17’s will play host to Killarney at 12 noon on Saturday March 13th

The Under 12’s will travel to Bruff R.F.C. on Sunday March 14th. Please be advised: bus departs from the Grove on Sunday at 9 a.m. sharp

The Under 17 Girls are playing a blitz in Castleisland on Saturday March 13 at 11 a.m. All players are to be at the Grove for 10 a.m
The 1st XV are at home this Sunday (7th March) against Corca Dhuibhne at 2:30pm. This is an important game as the lads are just four points behind Presentation who occupy the all important second place playoff place. With just four games remaining, the lads need all the support they can get so please come on down and cheer on the boys to victory.
Things are certainly beginning to heat up in the race for second place in Section A of Division 3 with no less than four teams all in a firm position to overtake one another. After having beating Killarney on Sunday last (28th Feb), Presentation now occupy the second place berth, opening up a two point gap over Killarney and a four point gap over Abbeyfeale, who have remarkably clawed their way back into contention after some impressive results in their last few league games. With just four league games remaining, it’s anybody’s for the taken and to make things even more mouth watering, all four teams are in action against eachother this weekend with Killarney facing another tough battle against Presentation in Killarney, while Abbeyfeale are at home to Corca Dhuibhne at the Grove Grounds. A draw in the Killarney-Pres game would be ideal for Abbey, if they themselves overcome Corca Dhuibhne, not an easy task indeed. Abbeyfeale face a difficult run-in to the end of season, with two games against Corca Dhuibhne (home and away), a home tie against Killarney and an away trip to Scariff, all facing them. However, confidence is high after their two recent wins and with two homes still left to play, they should be in a position to mount a stern challenge.
