JCT cup win against Naas

This cup game against Naas CBS was played last Monday at North Kildare RFC in dreadful conditions. Both teams did their best to play fast rugby but the wind was hampering back play. The only score of the first half came from a clever penalty move which saw No 8 Ross Hanan cross for the try which was excellently converted by centre David Kenny.

The second half saw Naas gain the benefit of the wind but it was The High School team who put on a lot of pressure without finding that elusive score which would have put the result beyond doubt. Impressive performances came from Ross Hanan, Gareth Austen, Gavin Sadlier, Colin Sheridan and Sean Tevlin.

Well done to the team and coaches Mr J. Dolan, Mr B. McNamara and Mr A. Hilliard, and thanks to all who came out to support the team on such a terrible day!

Healthy corner

Your body needs a moderate amount of salt which it gains naturally from a balanced diet. Processed and snack foods contain huge amounts of salt and are bad for you if you eat them often.
