In Pics: Godfrey Cup Joy For CUS

A powerful display of running rugby saw CUS overcome a game King’s Hospital side in the recent Fr. Godfrey Cup Final.

Pictured above: Ian Hanrahan of CUS is tackled by King’s Hopsital’s Matt Walsh. Hanrahan scored his side’s opening try after only four minutes. CUS produced a powerful display of running and rucking rugby to overcome King’s Hospital by 19-7.

CUS’s Enda Hession added the points.

King’s Hospital fought back but CUS were just that bit too strong – Sam McGlynn is tackled by Colm Gavin and Ian Hanrahan.

CUS captain Eoin Murray lifts the Fr. Godfrey Cup.
