SUPER 15's

Under 15 Leinster League
Wexford Wanderers...8 Longford...7
What a titanic tussle this was.Longford arrived in Wexford with a swagger and fancied their big team to do the bussiness.They took for granted that size was what mattered. What they failed to see was the size of the hearts under the Wexford jerseys.Wanderers began very well and spent most of the first half in the Longford half.But it was not until close to half time that they managed to cross the line.It was an oppertunist try by scrum half Conor Foley who created a gap and went through to score a fine try.
The second half saw Wexford on the defensive and it was only after 5 minutes when Lonford breached the defence to score a converted try to put them 7-5 ahead. Wexford defended and defended again with some relentless tackling by Donnacha Carroll and Josh Healy in the centres.Steve,Collie,Shane and Nick also put their bodies on the line.Finally a run by Ruairi Devereux relieved the pressure and got Wexford upfield.Following an infringement at the scrum Wexford were awarded a penelty.From 30m Tom Hudson stayed calm and slotted the ball between the posts to give Wanderers the slenderest of leads.It was back to defend again but Wexford were determined to see the next round and great joy was expressed at the sound of the final whistle.
Well done to coaches Peter,Pat,Ray and Billy for having the team so well prepared.
