Letterkenny v Dungannon u15 Girls

Letterkenny Done by Dungannon

Letterkenny started this game as if they were still in their beds. Dungannon outhalf had 3 tries scored before they wiped the sleep from their eyes. After this the home team began to play rather well and great tackling b y Allanah Boyle and Amy McClintock stopped a number of the visitors attacks.
Unfortunatly a lot of others were missing tackles which led to pressure on their own line. After a great swerving run by Lucy O'Connell, a ruck was formed, Sara McBrearty fed centre Mia Alcorn and she powered over the line from 15 yards. At this stage Yasmin Sparkes and the two Duffys Tara And Jade were doing excellent work in the loose and started to provide ball for the two half backs especially Marybeth McBrearty who made a number of telling bursts. The dungannon outhalf who had an excellent game tore shreds in the letterkenny defence then scored again.
Fair play to kenny as they bounced back once more to score a brilliant try when Sarah Bundschue made a fantastic break before passing to Aoife O'Riordan who powered between two players and dived over the line for an excellently worked try.
Letterkenny were really taking the bull by the horns and getting into the visitors, when unfortunatly their skipper Emma Curran who had been tackling like a trojan and hitting mauls like no tomorrow injured her hamstring and after treatment on the pitch, had to be carried off in agony. Two minutes later Mia Alcorn the other leading light in the team got a bang on the head and had to leave the procedings. Up steppped the subs and Eimer Alcorn, proving that although it was her first game, that she is no slouch either at tackling or running. Two more debutants in Chloe Wasson and Shannen Wilkin came on as well and aquited themselves well. Near the end Dungannon scored again when Kelley Higgins made a fantastic tackle but did not have the support to stop them getting over the line .
