Campbell drives Naas to glory

THE power and pace of centre Robert Campbell was the decisive factor in CBS Naas’s second Leinster Schools Section A McMullen Senior Cup title in six seasons at Navan RFC yesterday.

The moment of magic arrived in the 26th minute. Naas had just taken the lead when Campbell flighted a left-footed penalty between the posts.

Boosted by this, Naas returned immediately on the attack. Lock Niall Gorry took the ball on. Out-half Ian Kenny chipped the advancing defence and Campbell took off on a 60-metre surge that took him around the final defender and into the right corner.
