Match Report

Galwegians U20s won out a closely fought contest again city rivals Corinthians B in their JP Fanagan Super Six Group 2 clash under Friday night lights at Crowley Park. Wegians lost two players in the very first play when James Oโ€™Malley and Ben Edgenton were forced to withdraw, and first blood went to the Cloonacauneen men with a 12th minute penalty from Ben Wall-Cooke.

Wegians began to settle and they took the lead soon afterwards with a well-taken try scored by centre Owen Cuddy, which was converted by Calum Elwood for a 7-3 lead.

This was how it remained at half-time, but the visitors regained the lead soon after the restart when they scored what would be their only try of the game through Santi Bravo. However it was relatively short-lived as the Blues hit the front again with an unconverted try from prop Sean Malone on 51 minutes, leaving it 12-8 for the hosts.

The game remained in the balance in the final quarter, and was eventually settled when Wegians no. 8 Fionn Roussel forced his way over the line in the last minute to score the decisive third try. Elwood converted to make the final score a deserved 19-8 win for the hosts.
