Match Report: Enniscorthy U14s Secure Great Away Win at West Wicklow
A fantastic away win for Enniscorthy at the picturesque Russborough House, overcoming West Wicklow by 29–25 in a hard-fought and entertaining encounter.
West Wicklow had some big, powerful running centres who tested our defence throughout the game. However, the lads did a superb job of keeping them at bay for the majority of the match through a well-coordinated defensive line press and excellent tackling from everyone.
There was plenty of positive attacking play too, with both wings seeing lots of action and further improvements being made in getting the ball out wide.
Leading from the front, captain Owen O’Sullivan produced a fantastic performance at number 8, crossing the line for a superb hat-trick. Flanker Adam Ryan also had a great day, adding a brace of tries. Culainn Corcoran contributed two conversions and was unlucky not to add another, with a tight kick clipping the post.
A special mention goes to Zach Carswell, who made an outstanding debut in the second row. He carried the ball brilliantly, making huge ground with approximately 15 carries and, remarkably, not a single turnover!
Another excellent and improved performance from this fantastic group of lads. Plenty of positives to take away, great teamwork on display and another step forward in their development.
Final Score: West Wicklow 25–29 Enniscorthy
Well done, lads! A great team effort and a thoroughly deserved away victory! 🏉👏
