Nenagh Ormond under 18.5s played UL Bohs last Sunday. We played them only 4 weeks ago and came away with a loss so we had it all to do. It was a beautiful morning for running rugby. Nenagh kicked the game off and weathered the early onslaught from Bohs. After turning the ball over Oscar Griffin made a good break up the middle which created the space out wide for Aaron Walsh  to score in the corner only for the touch judge to raise his flag for a foot in touch. Nenagh kept that momentum going and after Liam O Brien Dunne made good yards in contact, Luke Slattery carried on further. The ball was moved swiftly to Cody O Connor who saw a half gap after the defence rushed up and then popped to Jack Tierney who dotted down. Charlie Talbot added the extras. Bohs came back at us and would have scored only for a brilliant try saving tackle by Oscar Griffin and in doing that he turned the ball over also. That seemed to settle Nenagh a bit and we got our hands on the ball again we showed good shape in attack. From a scrum on our 10 Ben Madden carried and drew in the defenders, Kaden Fogarty released quick ball to Cody who went on an outside arc to break the line, and on doing that drew the last defender and passed to Charlie Talbot who collected and scored in the corner. The difficult conversion was wide of the posts. Next score went Nenagh’s way, from a lineout in their 22 Nenagh Ormond had Bohs under real pressure, a brilliant tackle from Dara Gaynor cut off the running threat and when they tried to relieve pressure Aidan Steed blocked the kick and Dara Gaynor collected to score. The conversion was just wide of the posts. Half time score 17/0. Bohs kicked off the second half with real intent, Nenagh defence held firm, but the pressure finally resulted with a try in the corner with the conversion added. Nenagh knew they were in for a right battle now. From a lineout in midfield Oisin Ryan stole the lineout to gain possession and after a few rucks the ball was moved to Shaun Murphy who exposed a gap in midfield and brought play to well inside the 22, from that ruck the ball was moved wide to Charlie Talbot who dotted down for his second try. That score seemed to energise Nenagh and they kept a real high tempo game. From a good Bohs attack they attempted a cross field kick, on doing so Jack Gleeson and the Bohs winger competed for the ball, the ball spilled and Jack reacted quickly to gather the ball, step the defender, and beat another defender on the outside to run the length of the field to score. Nenagh scored next, from a turnover in midfield Luke Slattery got us over the gain line, from there Max Austin moved it to Cody O Conor who put in a left chip over the defence for Aidan Steed who showed great footwork to kick the ball , collect and score. Nenagh scored again soon after, from the drop off the ball was moved wide to Liam Flynn who did very well to draw in defenders. Max Austin passed to Cody who found Shaun Murphy who found a hole in the defence and after he broke the line, he drew the last defender passed to Cody who ran 40 yards to score. From the drop off Nenagh scored again, Shaun Murphy in receiving the ball passed to Oscar Griffin who found a hole and off he took from his own 22 to run the length of the field to score. A fine individual effort. Bohs scored 2 tries late on to leave final score 47-19. Overall Nenagh played very well in patches and the scoreline does not reflect the flow of the game. Training continues Tuesday and Thursday with Garryowen at home on Saturday at 2pm
