North Munster League Quarterfinal

Nenagh Ormond - 26

Ennis - 0

Nenagh put in a strong performance to beat visitors, Ennis on Tuesday. Despite not having had a game for a number of weeks due to the weather, the home side started strongly and moved the ball wide for centre Shane Cleary to get in under the posts. Outhalf, Billy O’Brien added the extras. Shane scored his second try soon afterwards but this time the conversion attempt was unsuccessful.

Nenagh were well in control at this stage and despite the conditions tried to move the ball through the hands at every opportunity. Speedy winger, Marcus O’Mahony received the ball in space and outstripped the cover for a great try. Kedagh Broderick added the extras. Nenagh led 19 - 0 at the interval.

Ennis changed tactics in the second half and tried to get their big runners into the game at every opportunity. Some excellent tackling from each of the Nenagh pack drove them backwards in an excellent defensive display.

While it is difficult to pick anyone out special mention must go to the home backrow of Nathan Mannion, Kedagh Broderick and man of the match Emmet Jones for the manner in which they felled the big Ennis runners.

We play Garryowen in Lisatunny on Monday next (12:00 kickoff) in the semi final. All support appreciated.
