A Hard win

A good win fashioned from hard work and lessons learnt. This game started off, as has been the pattern to recent clashes between these sides at all levels, tight and with sides evenly matched. Tackling was hard, honest and fair from both sides and the first clashes of this half resembled trench warfare with what little ground gained overturned alost as quickly. Then Donnchadh gained the ball from a ruck on the Letterkenny right wing and made the line. Deadlock broken. But Enniskillen are a tough team and possess strong hearts and they hit back with a try of their own. Pressure back on. Letterkenny to their credit stuck to their game plan and overcame some shaky moments to get back within the Enniskillen 22 and cue Rory to make for the line and touch down with his second fine try in 2 weeks. However, Letterkenny were again guilty of complacency and as half time approached were punished conceding another equaliser. Another stirring half time team talk from Carl and with those words still ringing in their ears Letterkenny started the second half with real purpose and controlled aggression resulting in two fine individual tries from Conor McMenamin with a conversion from Rory helping Letterkenny earn a 22-10 win to maintain momentum ahead of a tricky assignment away to Donegal Town next week. This assignment was always to be filed under "T " for tricky but is even more so in light of a growing injury list. Best wishes to Charlie James Anthony and Ben C for a speedy return.
