U14 Boys impress in Roscrea

Mullingar RFC's U14 boys started their season with a thrilling 48-31 win away to Roscrea. The team put in a strong performance, showing great promise for the season ahead.

A special mention goes to Adam and Ben, who made their debuts for the team and delivered standout performances. The game also saw the return of Liam after a few years, and he played as if he'd never been away, making a big impact.Next Saturday, the U14s will face a tough challenge at home against Longford, in what will be a repeat of the 2023 Midlands Final, which Mullingar won by just 3 points. It’s set to be a gripping contest as the boys look to continue their winning form.
