U.15's ADVANCE TO CUP SEMIS

Leinster McAuley Cup Q-Final

Wexford Wanderers...31 Wicklow...17

What a great few days it has been for Wanderers. Wicklow were expected to put up a strong challenge to Wexford in this cup game, but straight from the kick off Wexford ploughed into them and drove them back deep into their 22. For the next few minutes they pounded their defence but were left reeling when Wicklow salvaged the ball and broke out of defence to score under the posts. 7-0 Wicklow. Wexford didn't bow and were back in the Wicklow half soon after and scored tries from Collie Joyce-Ahearne and Sean Stafford. Wicklow added a converted try before the break to lead 12 -10.

Some astute tactical kicking gave Wexford good field advantage and they capitalised with further tries from Eoin Roche,Shane McGuinnes and Collie added a second to his tally. All these were converted by Eoin Roche. Wicklow managed a late try but Wexford were in firm control and now meet Athy in the Cup semi-final next Saturday.
