🍀Wolfhounds vs 🏴Brython Thunder 36–10
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Semi-finals
And it will be a fully Irish final.
A pretty simple yet effective game plan for the champs: the forwards battering Brython defence and forcing them to pile up players, while the backs exploit the holes.
The Welsh just saving their honour with two late tries.
🍀Clovers vs 🏴Gwalia Lightning 35–20
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Semi-finals

🏴Brython Thunder vs 🏴Gwalia Lightning 7–0
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 10
Brython wins but is not enough to avoid the Wolfhounds on semi-finals.
Whole 1st half played on Gwalia half, and Brython only got 1 try from it.
Gwalia improved after HT, but lineout was still atrocious and Brython defence held up despite ending the game with 13 players
🍀Wolfhounds vs 🍀Clovers 43–20
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 10
A truly impressive performance by the champs on the 1st half.
Their pace was great, their attacks where everywhere and they began to score try after try.
Improved 2nd half for the Clovers (getting the try bonus on the last play) but the game was long lost for them.
🏴Glasgow Warriors vs 🏴Edinburgh Rugby 17–22
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 10
Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!

Glasgow needs to win and hope Brython loses.
The Irish fight to see who will end 1st.
And a tie would be enough for Brython, while a bonus win could make them jump over Gwalia to end 3rd.

🏴Glasgow Warriors vs 🏴Brython Thunder 10–32
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 9
Brython gets the 4th straight win, but job is not done yet.
An impressive performance with a top notch defence that stopped the constant never faltering Glasgow attacks on their tracks, followed by deadly counterattacks that let the Welsh get one feet inside playoffs.
🏴Edinburgh Rugby vs 🍀Clovers 26–43
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 9
Edinburgh was ahead on the score for 30 seconds 😨
Between intercepted passes (14 easy points given away) and botched lineouts the Scots gift the Irish a win on what should have been a 1 score game.
Clovers efficient at taking their opportunities secure a home semi-final.
🏴Gwalia Lightning vs 🍀Wolfhounds 7–52
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 9
Pretty good starting minutes by Gwalia, and that's all she wrote.
As soon as the Wolfhounds scored the 1st try, they returned to their old steamroller ways.
When the Welsh finally managed to get back on their feet, they where already 40 points down.

🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 8
Things getting interesting in the middle of the table.
The ever battling Warriors get the 2nd win of the season and avoid Brython jumping over them, while Gwalia, suffering a bit of tryline fever, has already 3 defeats in a row. And they have Wolfhounds next.
🏴Brython Thunder vs 🍀Wolfhounds 14–0
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 8
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
2nd defeat ever for the Wolfhounds & 1st time they can't score.
Brython (and the mud) slowing the rucks and stopping the Irish from getting quick ball.
The Wolfhounds could barely advance & their lineout, bad all season, was truly atrocious today.
🍀Clovers vs 🏴Edinburgh Rugby 31–7
🍀🏴🏴 #CelticChallenge Round 8
Started as a close game with 2 good defences, where Edinburgh had a really interesting offload based attack while the Clovers used brute force.
But as soon as the Irish got the 1st try the Scots began to second-guess themselves and leave holes on their defence.
Brython playing superb rugby and well worth their 14-0 lead, Wolfhounds have no answer in these awful conditions.
This will be an interesting second half.
