Limavady settle for two tries - U14s winning goes on.

Another fabulous winter morning, clear skies and perfect rugby conditions.
Limavady kick off, to start the game. Letterkenny take advantage and dominate possession. The ball is passed through quick hands, to fullback, Bryan McGettigan, whom offloads to winger Alex McDermott, and manages to take the first try of the match. A good beginning, for Letterkenny.
After the re-start, Limavady regain some possession, and the referee calls a scrum ( Limavady put in. ) As the ball feeds out the Limavady backline, first-centre, Peter Sparks, reads the situation, ( and the slow ball ) and intercepts the pass, and sprints, for a try, under the posts. The flyhalf, Rory O'Connell kicks the conversion.
A third try comes, from an unusual movement. A scrum in centre field, splits the Letterkenny backline. The ball comes out the scrum, to the right side, to second centre, Alex Wylde, whom kicks it, in perfect-parallel to the sideline, towards the tryline. It's a straight forward race, between our right winger, Ryan Hegarty, Alex Wylde, Bryan McGettigan and the Limavady team. The race is won, by Letterkenny Full back, Bryan McGettigan. Try, number three.
Just before halftime, another Limavady scrum, sees their number eight pick the ball. Flanker, Tiernan McFadden, gets over quick, rips the ball from his hands, and makes a dash, for the tryline. Rory O'Connell converts.

Half Time - Letterkenny 24 Limavady 0

Letterkenny make some changes, at half time. Again, it's Letterkenny whom draw first blood, in the second spell.
From a Limavady clearance kick, our replacement fullback, Ewan Douglas, collects the ball, and "goosesteps" through the Limavady defence, ( through almost the whole team ), to get to the tryline, himself. Try, number five.
Midway, through the second half, and Limavady finally seem to find their feet, and run in a try, themselves. The clock ticks away, and eventually Limavady manage to 'cross-the-whitewash', for a second try.

Full Time - Letterkenny 29 Limavady 12.
