City Of Armagh Break Buccs' Hearts In Athlone

Monday, 17 April 2023 at 12:47

A win in the final round would have secured the Westmeath club a place in the play-offs.

It was heartbreak for Buccaneers in the last round of the AIL on Saturday.

The Westmeath club would have secured a promotion play off spot in Division 1B of the league with a win over league leaders City of Armagh.

It wasn't to be for Eddie O'Sullivan's side who slipped to their fourth consecutive defeat on a final scoreline of 31-24.

That result coupled with Old Wesley's win away to Naas consigned the Pirates to another campaign in the division next season.

Our coverage of Buccaneers Rugby is with thanks to Munnelly Opticians, Monksland Athlone.

Buccaneers have an auction coming up.

It takes place in The Bounty, in Athlone on Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon April 30th.

The action starts at 3.30 p.m. 

Prizes up for grabs include: Galway Races for four including overnight at G Hotel, Dubarry voucher, Hodson Bay Hotel group package, 50" smart TV, hampers and spa vouchers, various Ireland jerseys including one signed by the recent Six Nations Grand Slam champions courtesy of Action Physio, shorts worn and signed by Paul Mescal, star of the TV series "Normal People", and a vasectomy procedure!
