Both Junior and Senior teams recieved walk overs in their Cup games this week. Both Kilkenny C.B.S. and St. Davids, Greystones failed to field teams.
Hopefully next week we will be back in action. Great to see so many Juniors at training this week, they are developing into a more cohesive unit. Well done lads.
Leinster Development Cup Rd.2 Oct.19th 2011
Wexford C.B.S….9 Coláiste Bríd, Carnew…8
A vey youthful Wexford team took the field today, all bar one player are eligible for next year, against a bigger side from Carnew. However Wexford played with a competent style and their experience stood them well as they contested for every ball and made every tackle. The game ebbed and flowed and only a penalty seperated the sides at the break, wirh Carnew being successful after 17 mins.
Wexford had the wind at their back for the second half and played a territorial game, kicking behind the defense and were unlucky when Ian Moran came close to scoring. Eoin Roche had his kicking boots on, and converted two kicks to make it 6-3 after 20 mins. With the clock ticking down Wexford were put on the back foot and a break through the defence secured Carnew a vital try to give them the lead 8-6 with four minutes remaining. Wexford adopted the pick and go and eventually were awarded a penalty for infringing at the ruck. Eoin Roche slotted from 35m the winning kick and advance the Bokerboys to Rd. 3
