Cashel are victorious in grim conditions at Spafield ground
Cormac O'Leary, who lined out at scrum half for De la Salle Palmerstown V Cashel at Spafield on Saturday caused a bit of a stir amoung the locals not only by his all round contribution to the game but his name and looks suggested he might be one of our own. That question was answered after the game, his father is none other than Jim O'Leary, former chief economist with Davy Stockbrokers who was one of the first to forewarn of the collapse of the Celtic Tiger. Jim's own father the late Donal O'Leary, hailed from Rock Villas and was the brother of the late Joan O'Connor (Bank Place) and Theresa Davern (Main Street). Cormac is pictured with his father Jim and their cousin John O'Leary, Lurgo, and formerly the Green, Cashel. As a final twist to the tale Cormac is called after Cashel King Cormac's GAA Club.
Ulster Bank Division 2A League
Cashel 15
DLSP 7
In grim conditions and heavy going under foot Cashel ground out a victory over the Dublin side De la Salle Palmerstown last Saturday in Spafield, with tries from Brendan O’Connor and Ros Mullane.
This was a hard slog but a well deserved win for the team.
Next up is Queens University on February 23, in Belfast.
Second Seniors
Cashel 22 Midleton 6
Cashel played some excellent rugby in the front half to record another win in this league match played at home last Saturday.
Tries from Darren McGrath, Brian Silke and Kieran Gleeson created a hill too high for the Cork side to climb and with Andrew Wallace adding the bonus try in the second half this was another good win for Cashel.
