Corcha Dhuibhne no match for Tralee U-13s
WEST MUNSTER U13 CUP
Wednesday March 10 2010
Tralee RFC 27 Corcha Dhuibhne 15: TRALEE U13s had a busy weekend with half the squad on tour in Wales while those remaining at home travelled to West Kerry to play Corcha Dhuibhne in the West Munster U-13 cup in gloriously sunny conditions.
Tralee opened the game with some fine open play where the ball was moved quickly along the back line resulting in a fine individual try by Diarmuid O'Sullivan, which was converted by Rory Hill. Our forwards drove hard at the opposition and were rewarded with plenty of quick possession through the efforts of Kieran O'Regan, Daniel Teahan and Caoimhin Herlihy. Richard Boyle had a fine game with crisp accurate passing. By half time we led by 22 to nil following tries by Jack O'Shea, Sean Dowling and Karl Hoffman.
In the second half Corcha Dhuibhne responded with a tremendous assault which yielded three tries in succession. They challenged the Tralee defence's repeatedly and only some desperate tackling and counter attacking by Ben O'Neill, Anthony Craig, William Costello, Aoran Deely, Daniel Murphy, Liam Kennedy and Max Benner saved the day. In the closing minutes Jack Stewart crossed for Tralee's fifth try to seal victory.
This was a hard fought, but well deserved victory away from home and the Tralee squad can now look forward to the next round in the coming weeks.
