D.L.S.P. 9 Corinthians 31
Corinthians finish off with a fine win away to D.L.S.P. on their last Div 2 game of the season in Kirwan Park. The visitors started the strongest with man of the match outhalf Shane Mullaly grubber kicking ahead and touching down out wide after ten minutes of play but missing the subsequent conversion.
Under twenty’s winger Mick O Flynn got in for another try on the blind side after good work by the pack which Mullaly then converted. D.L.S.P., who were looking for a playoff spot in the division, finally got on the score board with a well taken penalty by fullback Conal Hickey after the visitors were penalized for infringing. Hickey was again on target a few minutes later when Corinthians were penalized for collapsing the scrum. Just before halftime Corinthians got in for another try after a great break by Mullaly, who set up centre Eoin Griffin to touch down under the posts. Mullaly converted to leave the visitors leading by nineteen pints to six at the break. D.L.S.P. came out in the second half with all guns blazing with back row David Lynch and second row Michael Manning to the fore but all they could get on the score board was another penalty by Hickey after an infringement by the visitors prop Dave Small. Corinthians winger James Buckley got in for a fine individual try, after he broke from the halfway line to skip through the home side defence and again Mullaly converted. The visitors were now looking for the fourth try and bonus point, which they missed out on in a few games earlier in the season, but this time they made no mistake. The back row Shane Connelly got the ball out to captain Pat Cunningham who set it up for scrum half Hugh Griffin who in turn picked and fed it out to his brother Eoin to get in for the touchdown which Mullaly again converted. At this stage referee Mark Hermin (UIRFU) called full time leaving the visitors winning by thirty one points to nine. D.L.S.P. still made it into the playoffs with Corinthians only one point behind. This was a fine end of season for Corinthians which I’m sure the coaching staff would have been happy with. Corinthians next outing is a domestic one a home game in the Connacht Senior Cup against Connemara All Blacks on Wednesday the 14th at 7pm under lights.

Bruff 27 – 0 Corinthians
Corinthians had no answer to high flying Bruff on Saturday. The home side got off to a flying start with an early score by their winger Stephen Foster which was converted by Phil Moloney. Moloney then added a penalty before the break to leave Bruff leading by ten points to nil at halftime. It was more of the same in the second half with the home side pack dominating proceedings. Their out half Brian Cahill kicked a penalty early in the third quarter adding to Corinthians woes and bringing the score to 13 - 0. Bruff finished with a flourish scoring two fine trys by Cathal Regan and John Shine both of which were converted by Brian Cahill, leaving the home side winning comfortably by twenty seven points to nil. For Corinthians they really are struggling in the last few games and need to knuckle down to stay out of the drop zone. Next up for Corinthians is a home fixture against Thomond on Saturday the 6th of March.

| Corinthians qualified for the AIL division 3 final playoff, without a ball even being kicked, after Midleton conceded the game as they travelled without a full front row. |
|
| What was to be a scrappy game with more than 20 penalties given away by both sides, started with the first one being given after 5 minutes when Naas were penalised for offside, and the penalty was successfully taken by out half David Clarke. |

| Victorious Corinthians seal promotion to Division Two! |
