Nenagh U15 37 Clanwilliam 53

Nenagh Ormond under 15s played the next round of the pan Munster bowl on Sunday last against Clanwilliam. The game turned out to be a very high scoring game with Clanwilliam winning 53-37. Nenagh were slow to start and gave the opposition too much space and time on the ball. They ran is 3 quick tries but in fairness to Nenagh they showed great character to get back into the game. Tommy Powell finished off a great team try to score in the corner. We scored a second try soon after with Anluan White finishing off a forward’s move in the corner. Unfortunately, Nenagh conceded another try before half time when Nenagh’s defense seemed to switch off momentarily.

The second half was more of a ding dong battle with both teams looking to play wide. During this half Nenagh added a further 5 tries with Analun White getting 4 and Aidan Steed scoring an outstanding solo effort at the death. Two of Anluan tries were good individual efforts and one was a good team effort. One try was brilliantly set up by Harry O Gorman who showed his basketball skills to offload to Anluan in contact who then beat the last defender to score. The final try was scored from a drop off with Aidan Steed collecting a kick off and he showed great composure to beat a number of defenders and score in the corner. Overall, it was a good performance with some very well worked tries. The pack worked so hard and in fairness to them they did very well against a larger pack. Like always plenty of bits to work on in training which continues on Wednesday evenings.
