Munster Schools U18 Success in Galway

Munster Schools U18 Success in Galway

Munster Schools U18 opened their Interprovincial campaign with a hard earned 12-6 win over Connacht at the Sportsgrounds in Galway on Wednesday.

CONNACHT 6 MUNSTER 12

Munster U.18 s kicked off their Interprovincial campaign with a hard earned 12-6 win over Connacht at the Sportsgrounds on Wednesday. With the wind having a major influence on the game, the visitors trailed 6-0 at half time after a strong performance from Connacht in the first half. While Munster did have a number of scoring opportunities in the first half, they were unable to reduce the deficit. A rejuvenated Munster took to the field in the second half, upping the pace of the game with much of the control exerted from the pack. Two of Munster s outstanding players on the day were captain and No. 8 Kieran Essex from Christian Brothers College who led by example and the ever threatening Presentation Brothers College centre Scott Deasy. Both players crossed the line for tries, with Deasy also converting Essex s try. However a stout Connacht defence prevented Munster from adding to their tally. Next up is a home fixture in Musgrave Park, when Munster host Ulster in this competition. The game will be part of a double bill, with Munster Schools U19 s opening their Interprovincial campaign also against Ulster at the same venue. (times to be confirmed)
