U.13's v WICKLOW (SEL)

Wicklow 0 Wexford Wanderers 62

Wexford Under 13’s made the transition from Mini rugby to youth rugby in style last Saturday scoring 10 tries and six conversions to no score.

Wexford won the toss and elected to receive possession. Wicklow started with great purpose and troubled Wexford in the opening exchanges especially at the breakdown. It looked after the 1^st five minutes that it could develop into a tight encounter. However despite the possession Wicklow enjoyed in the opening exchanges Wexford proved defensively strong and held the gain line. A trade mark tackle from fly half Captain Peter Barry stopped the Wicklow number 8 and indeed he didn’t attack the 10 channel for the rest of the day.

On 6 Minutes Wexford turned over possession and moved the ball to centre Ian Bennett who powered through to score an impressive opener under the sticks which was duly converted by Peter Barry.

From here on wexford grew in confidence and soon after Ben Moore scored an impressive try. By Half time the score was 24 nil with further tries from David Doyle and Ian Bennett.

The second half was more impressive with the wexford scrum starting to function better after a shaky start in this area. David Doyle finished with 3 tries from Number 8.

Other try scorers were Daniel o Regan, Josh Christe, Peter Barry and Alex Ryan.

A fine result for wexford but tougher challenges lay ahead.

Man of the Match: David Doyle

Top Scorer: Peter Barry with 6 conversions and 1 try.
