AIL U20

Corinthians v Garryowen

Sat 25th November 2006

2.30 Galway

Result won 22-8
       
A very well fought victory whereby we secured a bonus point through tries by, Tadgh Nihill, Eoin Breen, Dave Sherry and

Willie Staunton.  Willie also landed a conversion. In very windy conditions we built a lead of 17-0 wind assisted in the first half.

The application was very good throughout the match and Corinthians only secured their try at the last play of the match. 

In a game where our overall team performance was good, the class of David Sherry and Willie Staunton was very apparent.

Darragh O'Brien at scrum half had an excellent game and benefited from having Dave and Willie on both sides of him. 

Eoin Breen on the wing and Michael Sherry at hooker also played well. 

Stand in second rows Sean Hogan and Mike Marsh deputised admirably for their injured colleagues.

After the game we wished Sean Nixon “bon voyage” as he is leaving tomorrow to attend college in New Zealand.
